<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3794212, member: 56859"]It depends on which images you mean. The shot of the Taras reverse alone is just a cropped version of the "raw" image. I did nothing to further blacken the background because it is already maximally (or very nearly maximally) black) and that was the point of the shot. For the picture with the old and new joined together, I did cut out the coin and paste it into the other shot, so the black on that particular composite is computer generated... but you cannot see any hint of outline where I extracted the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]'s and [USER=4298]@Cucumbor[/USER]'s system is a very smart way to achieve a black background but for some reason just never did that.

Perhaps there are small ways in which the Black 3.0 coin stand is superior to the can technique: it is easier to access and position the coin and there is one less part to deal with (the can).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
