<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 876963, member: 15309&quot;]I remember think the exact same thing when I first started to take coin photos.&nbsp; Here is a link to a photoshop help page that tells you to use layer masking to accomplish the task.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.photoshop911.com/masking_channels/layer_masking.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.photoshop911.com/masking_channels/layer_masking.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.photoshop911.com/masking_channels/layer_masking.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think that method is really complicated.&nbsp; Here is what I do.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Make sure the obverse &amp; reverse photo are the same size (eg 500 pixels)</li> <li>Open a new file that is 1000 X 500 pixels</li> <li>Using the rectangular marquee tool, select the entire obverse photo</li> <li>Click Edit, Cut, and close the obverse photo file</li> <li>Click Edit, Paste, and use the move tool to move it to the right of the new file</li> <li>Repeat the process for the reverse photo.</li> <li>Save the file</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, you should be aware that because you only have one photo with both obverse and reverse, your prospective customers will be limited to viewing the coin at half size.&nbsp; You will find that the 15 cents you pay for the second photo allowing both photos to be of normal size will more than pay for itself in the long run.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
