[QUOTE="benhur767, post: 2951325, member: 36818"]Thank you. It wasn't too difficult for me, but I guess the difficulty depends on how comfortable someone is using Photoshop. The key for me was to keep the camera in the same position when shooting each coin so that all the raw images are sized correctly relative to one another right from the camera. To make the composite 'tray' image, I used the composite images I had already made to show the obverse and reverse of each coin. For these I had to crop them, orient them, sharpen and color correct them, remove the backgrounds, and position them. Then I had to reduce the size of these mages to fit in the canvas area for the composite.

I determined that reducing all by 25% would work well for the size of the image I was producing. Then I had to align and position each side of each coin, add the type and the drop shadows. So for me the issue wasn't technical difficulty, it's that it took me a lot of time to produce all of these individual coin images as well as the 'tray' composite.[/QUOTE]
