gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 05/28/2006 2:49 pm I believe it is just out of focus. It might help if you are to use macro in the digital camera that you have. Macro is usually noted as the "flower" symbol on the camera. I believe that will greatly help out with the details. Lighting wise, I am quite happy with.

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/28/2006 3:17 pm Hi Jim I agree with gxseries about the macro, If your camera does not have one you may have to move away from the coin a couple of more inches to get a clear pic and then crop to just the coin, and if needed enlarge the image. cropping the photo to just the coin eliminating the background, will decrease file size while making the coin image larger. lighting is real good !!

scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 05/28/2006 4:42 pm TLS I think that might be part of the problem thank you,here are some more I had to post elsewhere to reduce photo size Image: 911937[1].jpg 31.71 KB Image: 911936[1].jpg 25.65 KB Edited by scoutjim99 05/28/2006 4:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 05/28/2006 8:16 pm You are getting there Jim. A free (!!!) software that you can use to remove the unwanted background is Irfanview - http://www.irfanview.com Just make a square that you want to crop of, hit edit and crop selection! It might sound like a totally horrible and difficult thing, but I think it should not be too hard.
