[QUOTE="kanga, post: 4643955, member: 9270"]I think the size is too big particularly if I want to put "the obverse and reverse into the same picture" (which I think is a good idea). That means I'll keep the large images and then make two reduced size images which I'll use to make one image. With Photoshop that's rather easy. Since these are mostly low value coins and there's a bunch of them (100+) my operative word is "quick" which is why I'll scan them rather than use my Nikon. Mostly it's for a record of my collection. And more than once I've wanted to add a coin image to a post to make a point or illustrate something. But taking 10-15 minutes to make a camera image and then edit a $1 coin wasn't worth the effort. But if I quickly scan/edit a bunch then I have them at hand. And if I want to do a "dog and pony show" the images will be at hand. Off to resize and merge the two images to see how it comes out.[/QUOTE]
