PR70 Reverse proof Eagle......

A fellow forum member sent me 5 of these for submission..... Here is one of them:
Robert said in another thread that my images have color bleed. I see some blues in the coin that I think are a result of the blue blinds in my bathroom where I shoot my images.
Also I don't really have a light setup, I use the normal bathroom bulbs and one syvania flood lamp called daylight.... I need to take the lighting more serious to produce better images...

    Sure looks sweet to me!

    Be careful with coins in the bathroom....I hear the extra sulfer in the air can leech into the holders and cause them to tone!image

    I cannot imagine why anyone wouldn't like that coin.

    Lucy, can you tell me how to import an image into a post? I have them stored in file folders, but I am stuck. Thanks, jmski52

    Lucy: Your photos appeared to be a bit pinkish colored, so I auto color balanced them in Adobe Photoshop, and got the following results...

    Note the color difference of the PCGS holder in the corners of both sets of photos.

    You have to have them on a server somewhere.... maybe your ISP gives you some web space...

    once you have them on a server you simply click on the picture icon and then add a hyperlink that points towards your server location and then the file name...

    in other words if your server is called hepcatradio.com, as mine is, and your image is say 1951.jpg, your hyperlink would be http://www.hepcatradio.com/1951.jpg

    then the image will display...

    I thought so, bells started ringing looking at that picture of the Monte SS at the strip. I've seen your posts on the Cobalt SS forum.

    Lucy, there is a very simple way to eliminate the color reflections from proofs, Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0. Once you open the image you go to view->adjustments->photo filter. Change the default color to black and this is the result.

    The blues and pinks disappear, now you can mess around with other things to make it look even more realistic but thought I would share this quick tip.

    thank you, my sweet IrishMike!

    And also Stuart!
