[QUOTE="kanga, post: 2786343, member: 9270"]Thanks for the comments/suggestions. I'm using a single tube bulb (white OTT-LITE). I'm shooting at about 70-80° and from about 11:00 o'clock. I'm going to try doing changes one at a time. That'll give me an idea of what works. First I'll try a PCGS slab and see how the absence of the white insert affects the image. [B]IF [/B]PCGS slabs work better then I'll construct some sort of mask for the NGC slabs. Later I'll try a second equal light source in the 4:00-6:00 area at a lower angle and further away so that it puts less light on the coin but softly "fills in" the darker areas. I do have one other option that I would dread using more than Photoshop Elements. That would be axial lighting. I've got the setup but it's a real pain to use.[/QUOTE]
