1901-O Morgan New Light Set Up

Nice pic. shows the luster. One thing I don't know if it is my laptop but there is a red purple tint. Might be the lighting.

I'm using 3 white light sources .....3 halogens, I which is placed roughly 2 feet above the coin and the other two roughly 6 inches on opposite sides of the coin. I just took a couple pictures of a PL 80-S and can see the discoloration area you mentioned....not sure how to balance that out.....will have to work on that

Nice pic's ..

I agree with DOubleEagle about the WhiteBalance being off ..

Something I do when photographing , If you cam has the feature .. Look for the "white balance evaluation tool" .. all I do is hold a white paper above my coin and click the evaluate the white balance .. you may need to use a pen and make alil mark for you cam to focus on .. But once you do that it will set your cam to the proper setting for the lights you are using ..

I also , adjust the ISO down to 80 .. just helps with capping a photo with less noise (mho and works great for me) ..

But I would really try to adjust your WB and snap a few more to see how much clearer it is .. should get rid of the "Brownish" color you have ..

Best of luck .Hope my ramblings made some sense lol .

What/how did you shoot your 78 S in the other post? I thought that photo was great.

Hey Shadow ... here's your coin "color-corrected".



If you are using Windows you should have a program called "Microsoft Office Picture Manager." Open your file with it and select "edit" from the upper menu, then "color" from the right menu. There is a sliding bar there for "Saturation". Just start sliding it to the left until you achieve what you're looking for. Then "save".
