The more I'm using Adobe 7.0 the better I like it. Better image of 1888 IHC.

I'm finally starting to figure out Adobe 7.0. It is very intimidating at first, but like any software it gets easier the more you use it.
The only trouble I'm having is consistent sizing of images (if you look closely you can see that the obverse and reverse images are a couple of pixel lengths off) but I should have that ironed out soon. Overall, this is some really cool photo processing software!

I bow before your feet!

Can you describe your setup and equipment?

BTW, lovely coin. Is it raw or holdered?

Nice Job! If you think PS 7 is cool, you should try CS2!

I use a Canon Digital Rebel SLR with a Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens. I use a sturdy Bogen tripod instead of a copy stand. For me it is easier to move lighting around a tripod mound.

Thanks, the coin is a NGC MS64.

Nice job especially for the coin being in an NGC slab.

The rebel is an awesome camera and one I use also.

Yes upgrade to CS2.

What does CS2 do that 7 doesn't?

That's a good question. I'm curious as well.

Is that a close as you can get to in hand pic? Damn nice looking either way. I'm guessing this is a grade or two above 64.

oops didn't see you said the coin is a 64. Look nice for the grade!

Lot more bells and whistle plus the new vanishing point tool is awesome.

CS2 is a lot more advanced. Many of the changes are for a photographers workflow..... like bridge. Photoshop now has a separate browser called Bridge. It opens automatically when you start browsing files. Bridge automatically opens CR ( camera raw) which is for processing raw files. There's a new healing brush ( like a rubber stamp, but better for blending). The list goes on. But honestly, unless your a photographer shooting hundreds of pictures at a time it's not going to seem all that much better to you.

Nice coin! It is fun to experiment with photographs when you have a good subject.
