<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2618378, member: 56859&quot;]I first saw that effect with AncientJoe&#039;s images and loved it.&nbsp; He had seen it on another forum and loved it.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know who first created this look, with a &quot;spotlight&quot; on the coins and shadows below.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can create such an effect in a photo editing program like Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or other editing program which uses layers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The template I made has six layers (various components such as black, the coin shadows, the &quot;lit&quot; area, etc).&nbsp; The coin images are inserted in the template in two more layers (the background around initial coin images is first completely removed).&nbsp; Each coin image is then duplicated, the duplicates flipped to the mirror image position, and dragged or moved below the upright images.&nbsp; The duplicate images are also dragged to a different/lower layer.&nbsp; This description probably won&#039;t make sense, especially if you&#039;re unfamiliar with working in layers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Creating the template takes some time but then it is pretty easy to use.&nbsp; The hardest part is removing the background from each coin image pair you want to use, and that&#039;s no different from the hassles most of us encounter when editing regular coin images, as Doug&#039;s post immediately above shows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
