[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2129239, member: 42773"]Under the Adjustments button, select Curves from the drop-down menu. [ATTACH=full]405219[/ATTACH] Select RGB in the Transfer Map dialog. [ATTACH=full]405220[/ATTACH] Deselect Green and Blue, so that only Red is selected, then drag-click the center line down. The image will change color as you move the line. [ATTACH=full]405221[/ATTACH] I'll take it further and achieve the effects coop posted above. Photoshop is the preferred tool of professionals, but it costs a heap of money, whereas Paint.NET is free, and more than adequate for editing coin pics. Under the Adjustments button, select Hue/Saturation. [ATTACH=full]405222[/ATTACH] I desaturated the image by 30%, which seems to work well for silver. [ATTACH=full]405234[/ATTACH] You can also adjust the Brightness and Conrast to clarify the image. [ATTACH=full]405235[/ATTACH] Finally, to resize, go to Image - Resize. Make sure Maintain Aspect Ratio is checked. Type 500 (or any other size you want) into the Width box, click OK. [ATTACH=full]405236[/ATTACH] If you want to insert your full images into posts, rather than thumbnails, click Full Image, and the image will be inserted wherever your cursor is.
