Finally Figured Out my Photoshop Elements Program... Everyone Watch Out!

I finally figured out how to make the coins look cool with the black background and words, these were just pictures I had on my computer. Many Many more to come I'm sure.


One more question, can someone tell me how I can put picture albums somewhere in my profile so I don't have to post a new picture everytime, I can just upload it somewhere..... :computer:

Feels good, doesn't it? Congrats!

So dazzle us already.


[Oh dear, methinks he already has]

 

Alright, here's a few more. The rest I will just be putting on my album. It's amazing how long it actually takes to photograph a coin and make it end up like this.... The reverse proof is impossible to take pictures of, I'm sure I'll take a few dozen more to try and get it right.

 

Other than the fact that the pic is just a tad out of focus, I think you exhibited the reverse proof rather well....

 

God knows I'm not a great photographer or anything like. I just my iPhone and a free app. But I do have a suggestion.

On that 1853 half dollar, maybe try for a closer depiction in color? There's a huge difference from the obverse to the reverse that doesn't seem natural if you know what I mean. Like its two different types of lighting more than being toning on the coin.

Please don't take that wrong, just an observation from an admitted coin photography ignoramus.

 

Yeah the lighting for the picture of the 1853 in post #5 was through its airtite and the flash popped on. The bottom of the airtite had the reflection on it which lit up the coin more than in the original picture(as seen in post #1). The coin in hand appears as in post #1 but I liked how the details in the shield and drapery appear kind of like 3D in post #5. I'm far from an expert in coin photography, still learning many things. Just enjoyed that I figured out how the layers work in photoshop. Makes looking at pictures more enjoyable. Thanks for the feedback though, it's appreciated.
