<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2786570, member: 31773&quot;]I highly recommend the &quot;smile directors&quot; I developed a few years ago, or similar concept, to light slabs, and raw coins as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Before you make any changes, now that we know what you&#039;re using, you can try one thing first...</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem you may be having is too much light coming from around 12:00. You can see that especially in the image after my adjustments, as the region around 12:00 is a bit brighter and lower contrast than the rest of the coin. Since you&#039;re using a single OTT light, I&#039;d recommend you take some duct tape and &quot;split&quot; the light into two by taping over the center of the light. Your light is a &quot;line&quot; source, so the middle of the light is at a higher angle than the rest of it. This makes the center more vulnerable to direct-reflection glare, and also at higher intensity. This is what I think I&#039;m seeing with your image. By taping over that area of the light, you&#039;ll better balance the overall illumination, reduce the glare and level shining on the top of the coin, and allow you to get even more vertical with the overall light before glare occurs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
