I do not know which section to put this in, but it relates to coin photography I think.

What programs do you guys use to create overlays for coins? I've been trying to figure out which program is best, but have not found much information. Help is great,

I use GIMP. It is free and open-source, install on all major OSes. Not quite as full-bodied as Photoshop.. but it does have many available optional plug-ins.
