<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eric Babula, post: 25992342, member: 85976&quot;]I may have bit off a bit more than I can chew in just a couple days. With other things going on right now, I had limited time to play. Also, I&#039;m trying to figure out how to use some new photo editing programs (more on that in a bit). Learning to crop, resize, create a template background, remove backgrounds, insert coin onto background template, etc., is a challenge. But, I&#039;ve cobbled together a few quick options to look at. I tried black, grey red, and cream, with a brown copper and toned silver, for now. Please don&#039;t knock my photography or composition - I quickly grabbed some old pics and am just throwing this together quickly to see what happens.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=36248]@geekpryde[/USER] - for me, I&#039;m leaning toward either a light grey or black background for everything, at this point. I still have some work to do, testing other colors. And, I think I do like the watermark idea as well. Though, I do like what [USER=112673]@Denis Richard[/USER] is doing by pulling a color out of the coin and using that. Not sure yet what that means for blast white silver, or brown-brown copper or proofs, but I&#039;m sure there&#039;s something that can be pulled, if that&#039;s the route you want to go.</p><p><br /></p><p>OTOH, customizing the background for every individual coin is, for me, a lot of work. I think I&#039;m going to lean toward a side-by-side similar to what are shown here, but with a watermark. I&#039;ll still play with different colored backgrounds, adding a watermark, and using a variety of different coin types/colors (blast white silver, red copper, grey nickel, proofs). </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=36248]@geekpryde[/USER] - have you come up with any additional options? Would love to see them!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1653183[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1653184[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1653185[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1653186[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1653187[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1653188[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1653189[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1653190[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the photo editing software - what do you use, [USER=36248]@geekpryde[/USER]? Or, [USER=112673]@Denis Richard[/USER]?&nbsp; Or others??? I am currently testing Paint.net, PhotoScape X and LunaPic. I also read and heard good things about GIMP, Photopea, Krita, Photo Pos Pro, Sumo Paint, iPiccy, Pixlr, Darktable, and Movavi. I am looking for a great FREE program that can handle all of my coin photo editing needs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
