Thanks but that shot was with my iPhone when my wife and I went to San Diego for a long weekend, I didn't take my DSLR, so there wasn't a picture I would consider album worthy ;) My last trip to CA was a little bit more album worthy.

leftcoastcoins New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 07:22 am I have quite a few of those coins, none that look that good though. Irfanview huh I will look at that, anything to avoid Photoshop. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7398 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 08:30 am Irfanview is really a viewer of all file types but it has a few tools like resizing that work well. Its also not a memory hog like Photoshop. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19660 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 09:04 am I do all my post processing in Photoshop Elements. Since I'm very familiar with Elements, my workflow is very fast and hassle free. Edited by ijn1944 09/30/2021 11:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7398 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 1:25 pm I know how to use Photoshop (have full license, not just essentials), Gimp and several others but for resizing Irfanview is the best one out there. The pictures we are posting on CCF aren't master works, heck most of them are so bad that you can't even tell its a coin. I'm not going to debate which is better, but for just resizing for the forum Irfanview works better than almost anything else I tried.

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1624 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 7:38 pm Thanks for sharing this info. Will look at getting a better rig to hold the camera. Do you use a remote trigger? Report this Post to the Staff

I do sometimes, others I just set up the timer for 2 second delay and that's usually sufficient.
