So what are your thoughts on the quality of this picture?  I've started using Gimp but don't know how to play around with the colors yet. |

Shatsi, I think it depends on your definition of "decent". I use a Finepix J40 camera which I think would be similar to yours. I use this on the full automatic setting and on macro. Not the best photos in the world, but OK for what I need. I have a couple of LED spot lights and also use the flash, which I find helps to give depth, but I cover the flash with some tissue paper, which helps to tone it down a fair bit. I then crop in the camera and then import to my computer to finish cropping and adjusting for colour and brightness. Here is one example...  |

Nice coin Steve. Where can I see the other side? Thanks Keith, I don't own this coin any more, I think from memory I sent it to Kena in the UK, to help with his 7070 set. I have sent Kena an email.

I made a few edits to levels, white balance, sharpening, and saturation. I don't have the coin in-hand to check how accurate this is:  I don't use gimp, just Canon's DPP. Edited by rmpsrpms

 The Canons DDP works great for doing coins. I have tried gimp and others and go back to DDP

Putting together what I have so far was a bit of challenge since I live outside of the USA and most of them have been acquired via trades.
