[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 4397924, member: 17557"]I absolutely edit the brightness on all my photos. Sometimes I find the "backlight" option helpful as well (this is a feature in Photoscape; I prefer it to GIMP and do not have Photoshop anymore, so I am not sure if there are similar options available). I rarely mess with contrast, and never fiddle with sharpness--I try my best to get those right with the camera itself. For what it's worth, I enjoy your third set of photos. Paul has made some good threads on coin photography that are worthwhile.
