https://www.photopea.com/ is a good website if you want basically photoshop within your web browser, free too.

 

Thank you. I tried yesterday but seems not to offer the possibility to change background to a neutral black.

 

Try PhotoScape-X

 

I use Photoshop.
Takes a while to figure out but does a very good job once you get the knack.

Of course Photoshop costs a bunch to get.

Before photo:


After photo:

 

Photoscape lets you pick your backgrond color within the crop function. If you've already cropped a photo, you can just do it again with the same crop limits while choosing a different background color.

 

I use GIMP. It's basically like Photoshop but it's free.

 

Thank you all very much for the many useful tips. I've tried all of the suggestions you guys made, and this far have had best results with PhotoScape X.

I just want to set a my coin within a neutral black background. PhotoScape X allows a range of possible colors, except plain black......I don't understand what the problem is. Will continue trying.....

 

Click on combine, bring two images, choose horizontal or vertical tile, choose background, select solid black, save to where you want it.

 

Also, if you select vertical you can then display like this below. It will save as a .png file so change it at this point to .jpg if you prefer

 

Yes it will. Go into EDIT mode, select CIRCULAR CROP, pull the handles to outline your coin, select SOLID COLOR (it appears white on the screen) and up will pop a menu of Joseph's Many-Colored Robe for you to select, including black. Then just finish your crop and voila.

 

Me like Photoscape the best ........

 

I just use my phones vignette feature. Works pretty well

 

Thanks again for all of your tips. I have been using PhotoScape X and have made some progress. Tried it out with a Roman Sestertius, and this is how far I got.
(a difficult one due to all the jagged edges).

I'm sure I'm not doing it the most elegant way, but looks OK to me.

 

It takes a little longer but depends on how you want a presentation to look. I always use removebg.com first. As long as you have a contrasting color background to your coin edge, it will remove all background despite how uneven your coin is. Then save it to a file on your PC. Photoscape can then give you vertical or horizontal side by side combined image of Obv and Rev, shown here You can then insert it/them as an insert from file anywhere you like on a black colored (or any color you like that compliments your coin) page and include a text box for the attribution and references shown here
