    I Like it!!!
    Now, I would love to have my own icon of a Resplandor the same style as the pillars that Roman is using but for the life of me I just cannot figure out how to do it, so I was wondering if one of you Kind souls would help me upload a resplandor icon just for me image


    Thanks a bunch.

    Jorge, do you have a picture of one from your own collection that you want me to use, or should I pick one?

    Ok, how about this one? I used an 1824 Durango Hookneck that just closed on Heritage.

    OK, now I am jealous and want to know how in the heck you did that! That is really cool! So many coins to choose from but I have no idea how you did that! Pleassseeeee tell me how so I can preview a couple before deciding on just one!

    Thanks,

    Rick - I used Photoshop. It help if the original image is large. After I crop the element I want to "extract", I zoom in and go around it with a tiny eraser. This process is a bit tedious, but the results are nice. Once the background is erased, I save it as a .GIF file which allows transparency, so the icon can be used on any background.

    Thanks for the tip Roman.
    I've been admiring your Icon for a long time now and have always wondered where you got it from.
    I'm going to try this with a Pillar 8 Reale and set it as my new Icon, if I don't butcher it.
