canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 9:13 pm Oncle Kim, Thanks for your kind words! The process begins by making sure I remove all dust by cleaning the scanner platen and cover. I wear chirurgical gloves during the entire process. I carefully open the capsule and QUICKLY place the coin on the platen and GENTLY close the cover. I scan the coin at about 2000 dpi (I later re-size). One thing: disable ALL scanner automatic imaging options. The trick is to get the RAW scan and post-process using a better software. I recommend GIMP (free). After scanning, there is always the need to rotate, crop and I also put my watermark. Report this Post to the Staff
