Thanks. Cheryl,

 

Beautiful. Some typos though.

 

Yes, I reposted the photos and put the wrong one up, I should have deleted the old one. Thanks Cheryl

 

Incredable Cheryl. That is a ton of work. Did you put the text into all those images? That must have taken forever to get they way you wanted to! Touche!

Ruben

 

Cheryl, I was wondering if you can export the resulting images to a PDF format?

Ruben

 

With the programs I was able to trace out Queen Elizabeth II head from each coin and cut and paste with different tools. I did the same with the reverse sides of the coins. In the History section I typed the info by hand. The map I set the map first as the back ground then placed the coins on top and locked. In the art section I traced, cut. pasted and lock the photos down . the info I copyed from my links and pasted in lock saved and work. I learned how to do alot with the programs. I will try and put in PDF format. Cheryl

 

I was hoping we can pull the text out of the bitmap and allow them to be displayed as fonts in what is called vector graphics. That would make it easier to read and the documented editable from typo's.

There are two types of graphics. Bitmaps, like a normal image, and vector, a mathmatical representation of graphics which are rendered by a program and expressed. Fonts, like the ones that show in your browser when typing, are vector based so that the browser can render them actively and crisply, and you can even do things like I do and blow them up so I can read them without my grandpa glasses!

WOW! That must have taken forever to complete. Great job! :thumb:

 

If you think I've had kind words for CAC - you should search the net for my kind words for Microsoft and Time-Warner



I'm thinking that we can collect all these Exhibits and Publish them in print through LULU.com and donate the funds to cointalk . Maybe Doug and Peter can write introductions.

While we're speaking of English coins anybody know what a quid is ?

Its a small (or even large at times) anthropod that swims in the ocean. They serve it in the Italian resturants in greenwich Village..

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Yes it was fun and no it was a pain. I did had fun looking up everything. My computer caught a virus and put me in a safe mode for two days . NO! NO! two days to fix. I know what happened to all the typos' hope this will work. Cheryl
