Ancientnoob Wants a Gallery to Show His Coins

The newer versions might be expensive. I have a couple older versions that were under $50 that I've had for years.

the above was written for Photoshop Elements but the techniques work for many editors.

 

RB, I really like that Servilia (hint hint). I also like your choice of background. Good album start

Gil: I like free better than $50 (They call me Mr. Cheap!)

 

Race => are you my long lost twin-bro??!!

=> yah, growing-up, Momma always talked about my twin (who sadly also had very limited computer skilz) ... apparently we were seperated during the big storm of '65 ...

Race => I love ya brother!! ... come on home ... we all miss ya!!

:u*meY:

 

Cheech and his other brother Cheech

 

While others might be cheap- I am poor...


I use MS paint comes stock FREE on the Windows computer. I take a photo of the obv / rev then select the obv image right click and select "edit" I then stretch the back ground to be large enough to accommodate the other photo. I then size it is so they are close to the same- push them together and crop the lot of them. That's how I do all my coins. Don't forget Ancientnoob is still adding coins and info to his many albums...daily...

Oh BTW Steve- your Gallery is nice- some of the coins are so nice they go as far as to make me nauseous. :thumb:

 

Heck...I'd travel up for that long lost brother reunion, if you didn't live so blasted far away up there in the Great White North! Maybe I'll wait until spring...that comes around June or July for you doesn't it?

 

Well, maybe Momma and the rest of yer kin will come down to Virginia!!?

=> our oldest brother, Two-Dogs-Jimmy, is tellin' us that a good ol' fashioned road-trip might be in store?!! ... hopefully the whole clan can finally get to know their big-city brother, RaceBannon-Randy-Moose ... I couldn't help but notice that you'd shortened your name (probably a good thing?)

... can't wait for the get-together ...

Cheers

 

Just began setting up another album with some tradables in it. Still in progress..check it out!

 

Nice stuff Anoob! I see you opted to put obv & rev on in the same frame per your disucssion earlier in the thread. I chose just to keep obv & rev separate, and then label them in the text.

I've spent some time in the last couple of weeks trying to properly attribute each coin in my album. Once you play around with the edit picture feature on this site, it's not too hard to edit text. I'm almost done w the first page. My only beef w the CoinTalk album is that the text appears in a text box when you put your cursor on the photo, but then it disappears after about 5 sec or so.

A big thanks to Bing for pointing out Wildwinds, in my admittedly inexperienced opinion, they've got the most user friendly reference list of Roman Imperials for attribution, love the thumbnail feature with the reverses depicted. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

 

RB: Do you also use the Ctrl F function? It is a great time saver.
