rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 06/28/2015 8:45 pm hello gr58 here is a very difficult coin to shoot. its the 2002 queens jubilee it is almost mirror like. I used a piece of charcoal art paper and a piece of abs pipe standing behind the coin. 2 janjso lamps the camera will pull the black colour over the coin. I don't us photo editing all I do is shrink them until they fit here. I do make changes know with the camera when its tethered very easy. I did not at first but I have learned you can not break the camera. that was my fear. take a look at this Report this Post to the Staff

Then select custom white balance from the menu screen. this gets you to the SET screen. here you select the photo you just took. then press SET. This selects that image as your custom white balance. then use custom as your setting for other shots. This process is on page 90-91 of my manual. Wizzy1 It looks like I did not set my WB correctly. What Model do you have? I did find the same procedure in my manual, but not on the same pages. I will have to try again tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff

One of the ladies at the coin shop has that same camera ... now I might be able to show her something. I have checked out her camera .. looks like a good one. ------------------------------------------------------ Another attempt at white balance, I think I am closer Report this Post to the Staff
Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 1:51 pm Much Better! If you have the setting, try switching to the Tungsten setting for you WB. I know it is a good starting point using the Jansco's. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 3:41 pm I can try Tungsten ....but then it will switch from the custom setting That I set up. I feel what I have done so far I went from to much yellow, to more blue or grey. Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 6:50 pm Assuming your background is white/grey, the white balance is perfect. I checked the RGB in a few areas and it was off by <2%, with most areas spot on. The lower right corner in particular is exact on every point I checked. I assume this means you used it for doing the WB, correct?

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 7:28 pm The last picture I did the instruction in the manual. Set up my lights Using a white sheet of computer paper, used manual focus, took a picture. On camera went to WB Selected custom white balance icon The camera prompted me to use either the picture I took Or the image that was still under the lens. I believe that locks that white balance setting to my custom white balance icon. The image above, all I did was re-size the image. I did not auto correct color. Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 7:50 pm That means the white computer paper and the coin background are the same color. Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
