Another photo question

I didn't want to steal anyone elses thread so heres my question, in regards to photoing a slab. How do they take obverse, reverse and sticker pics and join them as one? Ive been trying to figure it out in Gimp, layering them but with no success.

Create a new blank image and give it a black background

Its really not that hard. Use the Circle Selector on image Obverse. Set it to automatic.



Get a good circle around your coin. It might take a few practice tries. Once you had it cut and then move you your bank backgrondimage and paste into. Do the same for the reverse.

Anchor layer under the layer menu and then save

 

BTW - if you get good you can script it to do it for you.

Thanks Ruben just what I was looking for.

 

Ok how this for a first try?

 

That's a cool idea better than my making it an animated gif. Do you have a link to that program?

 

http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ Have at it...:thumb:

 

That's good. You may want to size your coins to match each other. That will look much better.

 

Yes definately will next time. That one was freehand.:rolling:

 

Amazing.
Two comments about the 1995 cent.
1. Which side is doubled?

But worse.
2. NGC labeled it "DOUBLE DIE", not the correct term "DOUBLED DIE"!!!

Next thing you know they'll be calling them "pennies".

 

Good

You can resize selected floating layers and make them the same size.

Ah - my evil plans are starting to work

 

I knew it.. i just knew it

 

It's hard to see but the obverse, IN GOD WE and LIBERTY.

The terminology didn't even register.:rolling:

 

I'll have to work on it. Thanks Ruben. Yes your evil plan is working.:bow::secret::thumb:

 

Thanks Ruben, and nice pic for your first try andrew. Did you cut and past the coin label on the background also? And also Nice coin!!!!!! That one is on my list.

 

Yes cut and paste on all three images and thanks for the compliments.

 

Thanks for the link!

 

My pleasure.:thumb:

 

Ok so here is my second try. Great program Gimp is, makes it so easy!
