<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 545788, member: 15309&quot;]The black background gives a different appearance of the photo but you don&#039;t need to include the black background in the actual photo to achieve that effect.&nbsp; I use OTT lights with a copy stand.&nbsp; I then manually adjust the white balance of the camera by using a blank piece of paper.&nbsp; Then I switch to macro mode, zoom in, focus, and shoot.&nbsp; Once I am done, I upload to the computer and edit with photoshop.&nbsp; Here is my latest coin with both the white and black background.&nbsp; The coin has a slightly different appearance but it is the exact same photo.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1886NGCMS65Star18657-5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1886NGCMS65Star18657-10.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you are using incandescent lights, that is what is causing your yellowish tint.&nbsp; You need as white a light source as you can get.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
