Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 498311, member: 9270"]Part 1 of your comments (occupy more of the real estate):I can allow my images to occupy a larger portion of the area.I saved the originals which were much larger.But I want the coin images to display relative sizes, i.e., the silver dollars will cover the greatest area inside the frame but still fit, and the silver 3-cents and $1 gold the least.I did about a 1/3 reduction to the whole format so that someone using a 1024x768 screen resolution could see the whole thing without scrolling.When you see the smaller coins the area will appear quite empty.But that's something I'll have to live with since I prefer the "relative size" concept.Also if I allow the small coins to occupy more space (do away with the "relative size" concept) they get downright ugly.No coin looks good if you over-magnify it. Every little blemish looks huge. Metal flow looks horrible. That sort of thing. Part 2 of your comments (white around the coin):What you are seeing is the plastic of the slab.If I crop it out then the coin's rim shrinks or disappears.Looks bad and people could think, "What is he hiding?"And trying to color over with the coin's color would be VERY labor intensive. I've tried it.So I decided I'm willing to live with the obvious defect.[/QUOTE]
