<p>[QUOTE="expat, post: 8527013, member: 111067"][USER=141432]@ForTozs[/USER] be a guinea pig and post your results. I have a microscope as well but without being able to adjust the critical settings you will probably have to do some post processing to make it look natural. This can take more time than just importing a finished image and cropping it. Also, the more magnification, the more pixellation and un-natural your image becomes. One further point regarding your comment on ripping through some coins. One set up is not the same for each coin. Size, texture, composition and toning etc, requires a different lighting set up each time. The built in led's on a microscope have the effect of washing out the finer details because they are situated directly above the coin. These were my observations from my usage of a microscope, because I prefer my images to look like the real thing. It was not something I was able to achieve. I hope you get more satisfaction from experimenting with yours. Good luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
