<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2758021, member: 1765"]This is a little different from the way I do it. I leave the camera and coin in place and move the lights. One hand has a light and a remote trigger for the camera in it, the other hand has the other light. It's harder to keep the light intensity (i.e., distance from coin) consistent, but the images are already aligned unless I bump something. Not sure I'd want to do this for 100 images, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the images already aligned, I open them in Camera Raw, fine-tune any exposure issues, square crop them all at once, save with sequential serial numbers and use an Imagemagick script running under a bash shell to do the circle cropping, reduce to the correct size, apply a sharpening filter, and generate the animation. I never actually use the main part of Photoshop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
