<p>[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2572563, member: 76739"]Just a suggestion. I'm basically using the same type of digital microscope that you're using. And if found a lot of the limitations on how the photo looks. One thing I don't like doing is going to my paint program and adding the filters to the photo in some cases it helps. But not desired on my part. I preferred the natural look of the coin if possible I have also had that problem with trying to photograph cents. The last time I was at Kmart went over to the school supply section pick me up a pack of variety colored sheets I believe we used to call it craft paper. So I could try photographing with different colors backgrounds. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. At least with my USB scope I have found the right light you can achieve the photo that you want. I have tried other lighting systems that members have suggested but I found most of them are working with a different photographing system. In does not apply to these USB cameras. Basically all I can recommend is what I do. I try all kinds of lighting techniques. But truthfully sometimes the simplest can be the best. And I'll show a photo of mine lighting system that works quite well not all the time but sometimes.USMC60[ATTACH=full]556650[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
