coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/21/2019 7:55 pm The inverted thing (basically a negative) works good when glare covers over the devices. Often too much light is used. The best way to show a doubled die is to allow the light to fall over the coin to show light and shadows. Instead a lot of images use so much light, that it is like a spot light and makes the glare cover what everyone wants to see. Also too low of an angle is not a good thing either. The best is at 12:00 allowing the light to center on the coin. What happens when the angles are wrong for the light, it distorts the devices appearance. Like this the lower right is what you really want to see on a coin. Not the low angle of light. Report this Post to the Staff
