<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1882786, member: 19463"]I know I am strange in many ways but I force most of my photos into 2:3 proportions simply because I get prints in 4x6 and 12x18 sizes and my cameras (and most all DSLR's) shoot that proportion. I have extra black at top and bottom of many photos or place letters in those spaces. I also have a stack of nearly a thousand 4x6 photos on paper of my coins (the better ones) most of which I got for free at Costco using coupons they pass out requiring buying 100 prints at the same time. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I got a Nook I started placing all my coin images on it so I could carry them to shows for reference and avoiding buying duplicates. I discovered it was easier to find the photo I wanted if I put large letters on the images. I do not feel the obligation most of you do to tell everything I know in that space but only label things that are not obvious from a distance. For example, I want dates on Republican denarii which are sorted by date and ruler names on Sri Lankan coins that I barely understand. Neither benefit from having the denomination listed. At one point I was going to start labeling all my new coins and photos but find myself forgetting that. I am not exactly sure how I benefit from the lettering on the Maesa below but it was bought when I was in a labeling mood. I have been doing some new pages for my website and did not want labels on some coins so had to save a cut down version in 1:2 proportions just for that separate purpose.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]319709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]319710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]319711[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]319712[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
