[QUOTE="tpsadler, post: 2361554, member: 9860"]Photography and Numismatics have always been my hobby for the last 50 years. Since our retirement my wife and I sell coins in and round our area. Getting realistic photos of coins and those coins has become my pastime. There is nothing more frustrating to me than purchasing a coin or receiving a photo of a coin which has been doctored. So getting as realistic as possible without breaking the piggy bank is a personal need :) Photoshop has been around for the last 20+ years and having had the opportunity to use this software it does many things allowing the photographer fix flaws usually seen after the picture was taken. My first thought is always take the best photo possible and use Photoshop, GMIP, or PhotoScape to post process the images as realistic as possible to acquire the best results :) Hammers have been known to be used as Screw Drivers.
