<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 8180644, member: 13650&quot;]These photos looking really good!&nbsp;&nbsp; This is funny, I was just re-imaging some photos yesterday too.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some I took a few years ago that I wasn&#039;t happy with anymore.&nbsp; &nbsp; The game changer for me was hooking up an old laptop to my Canon T3i on the copy stand using a USB cable and downloading the software from the included CD.&nbsp; &nbsp; Now instead of trying to squint and see if coins of various sizes and brightness are sharp and in focus on a tiny camera LCD screen, I can view them live on a full sized laptop screen.&nbsp;&nbsp; Before I had to get lucky.&nbsp; Now every picture is as expected.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Learned a new trick yesterday as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is a magnifying glass button at the bottom right.&nbsp; Click that and it zooms in live on a small box that you can move around the coin to find details to focus on.&nbsp; &nbsp; Adjust the bellows up and down until the zoomed in view is as sharp of focus as you can get, then close the window and the entire image adjusts to perfectly sharp.&nbsp;&nbsp; I bought a remote shutter switch before I did this.&nbsp; It&#039;s not needed anymore as the software has a button at the top right on the computer screen to control the shutter remotely from the laptop.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the hardest images to get for me was of a MS steel cent.&nbsp;&nbsp; So hard to get lighting right and tell if it&#039;s in focus.&nbsp;&nbsp; Before and afters now (MS-66):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1430160[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
