<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1725558, member: 19065&quot;]<b>@NK</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Since I&#039;ve been talking about coin pics and mentioned some tips on making your digital image files a little more conducive to showing off toners, I wanted to show at least some example of how I like to present my own coins on the forum. I think I&#039;ve posted this coin before in this thread, some time ago, but I&#039;ll share it again for the sake of an illustration. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some people like a solid background, others like to crop in real close to the coin, either on a white or black background. I like to show mine off in a little &quot;simulated&quot; floating space against a predominantly black background. I leave some space around the coin, and include embedded text in the image file, with info about the coin shown. The coin is cropped out very cleanly from it&#039;s original background (in an old ANACS white slab), and all the elements, like the soft shadow and <i>faux</i> reflected coin are all separate layers within a Photoshop image file. No tweaking of the coin image itself has been done from the shot taken with camera. Of course, this is just one way of presenting coins. See what you think and if it helps or inspires any of your own ideas. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy46/kcttck/Coll%2020/1913_Mx_P1_Caballito_45DGM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
