<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 954388, member: 19065"]Serious photographers don't move their copy stand set up, and may even have a dedicated camera for such work. It's not that hard to set up a 'session' with a camera mounting it to a steady copy stand which works better than a tripod, which <i>could</i> move, but that is really a mute point to your idea about using layered image files, whether you scan them or shoot images with a camera, you still need to work with the files in a graphics editing application like Photoshop to align the layers and adjust transparency, contrast settings, etc. Add to all this, the multiple reasons listed above about why a scanner is difficult to work with due to dpi limitations based on the OPs budget, lighting limitations and problems with reflection(s), banding, screening... The OP with the stated budget is better off with a camera to image coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
