<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 2786163, member: 9270&quot;]I&#039;m ready to image my Peace Dollars.</p><p>So I started with a test on my 1921.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the results so far:</p><p><img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1-100s-1921-o-25-circ-sharp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.dcderoo.com/1-100s-1921-r-25-circ-sharp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>They are coming out too dark.</p><p>Although the coin is not PL it does have a nice Mint shine.</p><p>As you can see that is definitely NOT apparent in the image.</p><p><br /></p><p>One possibility is that the coin is in an NGC holder and the white insert is overwhelming the light from the coin.</p><p>I can test that by making a dark mask that will block out most of the white insert.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another test would be to image a coin in a PCGS holder on a dark background.</p><p>Since the holder is translucent there will be much less light coming from the areas around the coin so the light coming from the coin should dominate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus I have Photoshop Elements and can play with Brightness and Contrast.</p><p>But that&#039;s so hard to manage I would leave it as a last resort.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Any other suggestions?</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
