[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 24122, member: 57463"]I am sure that there more than a few "photography" threads running, but I just want to say that I have been learning that the pictures posted here are much better than we might think. I do not own Adobe Photoshop or anything like that, just the Microsoft Picture Editor default package with our version of Windows. (We have another, newer install pack with a different picture editor, again, a default.) When I look at an image here in CoinTalk mode, it is often too dark to see anything. If I "SaveAs" and then open it in Picture Editor, I can use the Brightness control to bring up the image. I have edited pictures and saved them, but now I am not so sure that this is the best path. The original image, dark though it seems, has all the original information. If you lighten, brighten, contrasten, etc., you add, delete or change that information. It is like cleaning a coin. I also edit a club newsletter and website. So, to print or publish an image, of course, I have to edit it. However, in the native directory, I think I will just make a habit of leaving things as they are. Anyway, George, nice token and a nice snapshot![/QUOTE]
