ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 4:00 pm My lamp(GE Reveal Bulb) tends to make silver coins with wayyyy to much contrast...I know I should make a filter, and haven't tried that yet, a diffusing cloth between coin and lamp...could I get decent results by either adjusting my ISO, or, exposure compensation, or BOTH, to remedy this? Not much luck, with differing settings...I use a fairly old KODAK digital P&S Camera, Easy Share C533, that is real basic, and not fancy at all, so, my options are limited. Thanks Calvin Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 6:13 pm I'm of the opinion that "too much contrast" is an oxymoron. Could you post a couple of images illustrating the problem? Report this Post to the Staff
