chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 05:26 am Wow. Fantastic image quality. Edit: Just checked out the link on Amazon. Incredibly affordable. Hmmm. I have a birthday coming up. Think I'll start dropping hints at home.

Ilikeabecoins Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 11:02 am I had one of those scopes when I first started taking pictures. It was great until it wasn't. I only had it for 2 weeks and it just got worse. Maybe I got a bad one. I returned it and got one of these Opti-Tekscope Digital USB Microscope Camera- Advanced CMOS Sensor, True High Definition Macro 200x Zoom Imaging -1600 x 1200 - Video - Superior Industrial Quality Base - 8 LED Report this Post to the Staff
Ilikeabecoins Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 11:05 am P.S. I don't know if I believe all that stuff about the scope, I just know it works better for me. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 1:38 pm Now with a great image editing program, you could get even better results: I edited you image vertically. Normal, Edited Contrast Second image Normal edited with contrast and color editing. Report this Post to the Staff
Ilikeabecoins Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 1:54 pm How much editing is too much? You want to make the coin look as close to in hand as possible, but not by enhancing the image. Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 2:24 pm I am a graphic designer and enhance pics all the time... But I didn't want to alter my cent pics, thinking too much contrast may denote from the details needed to discern? As a muted light source is promoting mid-tones detail... So what is you rule of thumb on contrasting the coin pics? Not too much brightness?... bring out mid-tones? ...contrast shadows or dark levels only? Any input/tips would be great to get a clearer IMG for posting without loosing details to see what's going on. THX Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 3:27 pm On contrast, I use the amount that looks correct to me. Just to make them pop. But I've edited a lot of images though the last 20 years. Here is something I like to create: http://goccf.com/t/168661&whichpage=1 http://goccf.com/t/273285 http://goccf.com/t/168661&whichpage=2 Edited by coop 05/09/2018 3:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

piercethegrimes Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 05/11/2018 08:56 am Nice, I have the same scope. The biggest difficulty for me is correct lighting. I'm not a fan of the led light that comes on the scope so I hold a lamp at different positions until I am satisfied. Proof coins are difficult to capture as well. Here's an example of a closeup on a proof. 1962 Proof Lincoln Cent DDR 22 Report this Post to the Staff
