<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1439854, member: 36248&quot;]I have been wondering why the pics I post here all seem to dark compared with other members posts, even though I am using a massive bounce light and reflectors, and have a really nice camera.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well today I discovered that to control black and white points in Lightroom 3, you use the <b>&quot;Exposure&quot;</b> and <b>&quot;Blacks&quot;</b> sliders inconjunction with viewing the histogram. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; This is different that how it&#039;s done in Photoshop and Photoshop elements, etc, where there are dedicated Black, Gray, and White eyedroppers.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I used the photos I ALREADY had taken of every coin (for insurance reasons and to post here on cointalk), and just spent about 30 seconds each with only those two sliders.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Check out the before and after (in that order).&nbsp;&nbsp; Let me know if you think the pictures are better, worse, about the same, or if my coins still suck, regardless of how good the pictures are.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]177083.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]177084.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]177086.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]177087.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
