Info On Taking Pics Of Coins

Thank you. That photo, by the way, is untouched other than a levels adjustment. And all I did in that was set the black point, which is why I used the black background, so I would have that reference. Now that I know I can do that, I may use a white background instead and save on having to print that out at least.

Thank you sir. Guess I 'stumbled' upon something that seems to work pretty good then. I guess I'll have to stick with it.

Thank you. I printed out a copy of the image after using it in my inventory form and I could tell better then that it is a little dark. I went looking for some LED lamp stands yesterday, but they want and arm and a leg for those things. I even found a light that had a large magnifying glass surrounded by one of those circular florescent lights. Kinda like a macro lens flash. I almost got that one but wasnt sure if I could use it for taking pictures.

At any rate, thanks for your input. I will work on the lighting and see if I can get it a bit brighter.

I saw someone else was using those and would love to get my hands on a couple of them. But unfortunately I live in podunk Oklahoma and have no Ikea. We do have a Staples and I checked there but they are pricey to say the least.

I am, apparently, as dumb as a box of rocks because I cannot figure out or see how to retrieve and PM's.

Ouch. Umm, I got the notification on it, and thought it was just that and I do believe I deleted it with the intention of checking the message here. Hmmmm. I wonder if its still in the trash can, LOL

Another email sent to ya stormstrikes.
