<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 2472721, member: 9270&quot;]Taking pictures of coins in PCGS slabs is different than coins in NGC slabs.</p><p>For me it comes down to PCGS slabs being translucent and NGC slabs being opaque white.</p><p>The different backgrounds influence the images.</p><p>I want only the light reflected from the coin to affect the image.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use a non-reflective black/dark gray material under the slabs.</p><p>For PCGS coins that works well and the coins come out close to true with regard to toning.</p><p>But the white insert in an NGC slab somewhat overexposes the picture making the coin darker than in real life.</p><p><br /></p><p>I adjust the NGC problem by using a black &quot;mask&quot; with a hole a bit larger than the coin.</p><p>That brings me a lot closer to the correct toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hesitate to change camera settings since I try to have consistent results.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone use a different (and maybe better) technique?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
