And thank you, I copied your 2x 4 idea into that Word doc. I STINK at carpentry, but my neighbor is an accomplished cabinet maker. There was...
Yes, I remember you recommending an extension tube. I just created a word document so I won't lose the info. Would you happen to know what kind...
Cool. I also enjoy noting the telephones.
Ok, I know the photograph isn't great, but it's the best I could do and I'm working on it. It's progressed from Simon Cowell level horrendous to...

How does one do the smart lasso in Photoshop? I.e. to strip out the background from the coin.
The subject also seems to make a lot of difference. The Rhodes didrachm came out somewhat okay. Some of these aren't. I'm using programmable...
