Post your Ancient Coins here

OK, so this is a quasi-repost, but I thought it would be interesting to make a Photoshop collage of all my coins in their accurate relative sizes.

I prefer this one

(Some subtle drop-shadowing would make it even better)

 

Agreed -- I like this version better too.

Are you suggesting I add a drop shadow to all 101 obverses and reverses? Is there a way to do this in Photoshop without doing each layer individually?

 

Sort of. I'll PM you.

 

After setting the style in Blending Options for a particular layer, right click on it, Copy Layer Style, then select all of the layers, then Paste Layer Style.

 

I'm undecided as to which version I prefer. I think personally I like them all consistent-sized but there is definitely merit in their real, relative sizes. The only downside with Greek coins is smaller coins like hektes end up being barely noticeable alongside larger denominations, but maybe that contrast would be appealing...

I'll need to give it a try some time!

 

Yeah. That.

I just spent ten minutes making screen caps but it's really just this simple

 

Thanks to both of you. The drop shadows really add depth to the picture:

 

A tremendous improvement! What a wonderful collage of an outstanding collection.
