[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2574549, member: 1892"]As good as these images are, I feel comfortable offering a couple ideas for improvement since you've no reason to feel either your skills or equipment are lacking. :) Obviously, larger is better. I don't know if these are actual size, or downsized in order to post here, but the camera is plainly capable of capturing sharp images and it's rare that images this clear [I]have[/I] to be this small. At a minimum, for grading purposes one tries to achieve a diameter of 800 pixels or more for the coin itself; I personally shoot for 1000-1200px in diameter. You can help this by cropping as close to the coin as possible, eliminating any extraneous image data that might be complicating whatever postprocessing program you're using. Which leads to the next question, which has already been asked. :) This. :) In addition, what are you using for postprocessing technique to present them here? I see you're using Elements for Mac, but there's no indication of how large the images are to start with nor what's been done to make them postable.[/QUOTE]
