bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 02:35 am Does anyone know of (preferably free) software to take consecutive images (say obverse and reverse of a coin), identify the background and crop it away (leaving coins only), join the cropped images side-by-side, re-size (say to under 100kb), and automate all this in a batch process? In other words, do the big sellers or coin photographers have any tricks they're willing to share? I spend too much time exporting "collages" in Picasa one-by-one. Thanks in advance.

I have always done cropping and compositing by hand.

bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 02:45 am I would guess that (these days) the computer can be trained to identify a coin and auto-crop it. After all, it can identify faces. I might be mis-remembering this funny incident, but I vaguely recall my camera auto-detecting Lincoln's face one time. Maybe it helped minimize the red-eye from Abe!

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 03:32 am cameras can auto-detect a face, but I don't think they are not always correct, and designs on coins vary greatly so it may have even more trouble with coins and finding the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
