<p>[QUOTE="Mikenwuf, post: 8337950, member: 115252"]I just started using my Photoshop CS more and today I was doing my coin photos and found a selection tool that must have been made for peeps like us. Open your photo, go to "Select", scroll down to Subject and click, give it a moment, you now have a blinking line around your coin, go back to the Select menu and scroll down to inverse, now the background is selected. On the left menu, go down to the double square and click on the left one, a graph of color comes up, select the area that's black and click on new and okay. Now your color is selected. On the left go down to the Paint Bucket, click on it then move it over the selected area on your photo and click, you now have a black background and you're also set up to do this to each coin with just a couple of clicks. It's really not complicated, but there is enough difference between CS5 or 6 and this. Good luck and get that tripod![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
