<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2413895, member: 19463"]When photographing bright silver coins it is easy to make it too light thinking it is more accurate but I never suggest having tones so bright that they are stark white. When you hold a coin in hand and wiggle it, the glare moves around so you can see detail but areas of glare that are stationary on a still photo just destroy detail. Our photos use 256 shades of each color with the extremes (000000 and FFFFFF) being detailess black and white. Topcat's version retains small details in the almost white areas and looks a lot better to my eyes. I'd call the coin a keeper if reasonably cheap and a definite 'deal' if 'very, very' cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
