<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2010627, member: 19463&quot;]That is a nice coin and well worth the effort to get the photo just the way you want it.&nbsp; I suggest you consider reshooting the coin on black rather than editing the file.&nbsp; I find that the lighter background sometimes adds a flair to the image which makes it harder to get the color the way you want it so if you desire a result on black, it would be better to shoot on black.&nbsp; It is not always easy to separate the black edge of a coin from the black background so I have more trouble making a black background white than a white one black but if the goal is black, why not shoot that way? I really like coins of this period with the tinges of purple.&nbsp; I wonder if they came from one hoard?[ATTACH=full]362242[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes a coin that retains a lot of its silver is hard to make look right.&nbsp; If fully silvered, it would photograph like a silver coin but half and half coins could be prettier if they lost their silver.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]362245[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
