Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 2:08 pm I have been experimenting with arranging some of my coins for a group photo. All attempts to take the picture of all together failed miserably. So I decided I would place the coins on a uniform background and try and to scale them to their actual size relative to each other. I arranged the Persian coin and some India coins for your viewing pleasure. I have seen a few members do this and man its fun, easy and the results are gratifying. Thanks for the idea.

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 5:10 pm Cool work anoob. I've been wanting to so this with my monograms/other 5th century Romans for a while now, but it will probably involve a lot of reshoots, cutting and pasting, resizing, etc. and I don't really feel like doing all that lol. Maybe in the near future I'll come up with something. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 5:34 pm Pretty darn good anoob, but not perfect. I can see different colour backgrounds. I haven't had time to get to grips with this myself and have been using a free online background burner, but I have one file (which I created in Paint) which is just a rectangle filled with black. So all backgrounds will be the same shade of black. Whatever software you use, you should have the option to do something similar. I am on holiday for two weeks this Saturday and am hoping that I can spend some time looking at this. Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 5:35 pm I tweaked some of the Sizes in the India Photo. I also incorporated a cent for size comparison. Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 8:31 pm Since this had a positive response I decided to take a group photo with the guys from the Western Satraps. Say, hi everybody! Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 10:03 pm Your going to have to teach me how you did it. I like to do this with some of my coins also. Report this Post to the Staff
CopperCastle Pillar of the Community United States 1132 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 10:43 pm I started looking @ these images on my phone while laying in bed. Before I knew it 15 minutes had whizzed right by! I can't believe how extraordinarily interesting this is. I'm gonna bookmark this one for in the a.m. when I'm having coffee on the porch (and my brain is functional).. Thanks for sharing Edited by CopperCastle 09/22/2014 10:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
