<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 25658375, member: 36248&quot;]I organized my coin photos tonight!!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Moved things like SOLD coins to a dedicated folder, deleted duplicates, renamed a ton of files, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; Took 3+ hours of work, but it was much needed!&nbsp;&nbsp; I have over 5,000 coin photos, my coins, friends coins, sold coins, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>In general, I like to have the following for each coin in my Permanent Collection:</p><ol> <li>Obverse Slab Shot</li> <li>Reverse Slab Shot</li> <li>Obverse Closeup</li> <li>Reverse Closeup</li> <li>Template showing the both closeup shots in a single image with the grade and cert.</li> <li>Sellers Photos (from whom I bought the coin)</li> <li>Available PCGS Trueview and/or Available GC &quot;Great Photo&quot;</li> </ol><p><br /></p><p>The on top of that I have all my raw test photos different lighting, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, a 100 coin collection generally means I have at least 700 photos that are the &quot;keepers&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I name them very particularly so I can find any photos, or a certain search term, in a matter of seconds across all 5,000 coin pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I name all images of the below coin:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>1944 50C HALF DOLLAR - WALKING LIBERTY PCGS MS65 13086543 CAC</i></p><p>and append things such as &quot;Obv Slab&quot;&nbsp; or &quot;Rev Closeup&quot; or &quot;Template&quot; or &quot;TrueView&quot; as needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>This allows me to search for instance &quot;50c&quot; and find all my half dollars instantly.&nbsp;&nbsp; Very helpful when I decide to make a post, or list a coin for sale, or want to add coins to a new registry, like the one at CACG.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For this one coin, I have these pics:</p><p><br /></p><p>(the date being blown out is not ideal)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641327[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641326[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641324[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641325[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641323[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641322[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just wanted to share, as I am in a big reorganization kick.&nbsp; &nbsp; Got all my box-of-100 coins re-ordered and took a bunch of new photos.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I shipped 2 coins out to PCGS to have them re-slabbed, something I wanted to do for 10 years for coins in terrible scratched up holders.&nbsp; I tried everything like slab-renew, Meguiars PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner &amp; Polish, etc. and nothing could get these scratches out.&nbsp; This made quality photos impossible.&nbsp; Finally just gave up and PCGS can make it all better for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>See what I mean, this is minimizing them as much as possible and still looks terrible!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641328[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
