<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1807421, member: 19463"]I use Photoshop Elements software (about $79?). The current version is 12 but I still have 10 and do not know what was added. The amount of processing needed will depend on the amount of effort you put into taking the image with proper exposure and how well the coin separates from the background. It is good to work with the coin next to the computer so you can adjust the image to match what you see in terms of color and brightness. Some will require no postprocessing other than combining the two sides and cropping away the surplus background. Some will need so much you will decide to reshoot. I am sure that there are many other programs (some free) that will do the job but this is what I use and I have not kept up with the market in such programs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
