Those are really nice steps for a '54-P, not full but way better than typically seen.

1. open paint 2. if you don't have a multi-screen setup, then shrink the browser so that you can see paint and the browser simultaneously. 3. left click and hold the image you want to "drag and drop" then drag it to paint and let go 4. control+A in paint to select the whole image. now drag that sucker around and move the sides until you get the following!
(#3 can be substituted by saving the image to the desktop or a folder of your choice or you can even right click and "copy image")
(sometimes certain methods won't work depending on the script of the page, but there is ALWAYS a way)
(worst-case scenario, just use "snip" that comes with windows.
this image size in pixels is 655x642. the difference is negligible and can be easily corrected but that is next.
with the win7 paint and maybe older versions you can "resize" images quickly, easily and accurately.
in paint, on the toolbar (should be there) just click resize. then in the little window that pops up, you'll see "percentage" and "pixels" click the dot for pixels and unselect "maintain aspect ratio"
since we want the dimensions to be close to equal, we won't let the computer do the auto maintain aspect ratio. the images are a little too big to put side by side, so lets shrink these suckers.
600x300 or each image 300x300
we may have lost some quality because i just wanted to zip this tutorial out quickly just to show how it is done. if i implemented just a couple different steps, there would be less pixelation. if i had the original unedited images, i could resize with unnoticeable loss of quality all day.
900x450 or each image 450x450
EASY PEASY!!

Very cool but sound like alot of work and i do to much of that. I'll make it smaller or crop it just for you next time.
I like both coins by the way and they're so close to EDS. They likely came from the front starts of new dies but not the earliest. They are collectable regardless, MS64 to MS65 grade coins. Most collectors will settle for those and be quite content with them
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
<< <i>Looks like your using too much lighting to bring out those colors with your FinePix S4200 camera. >>
it is from improper lighting and/or improper camera settings. easily fixable from windows photo gallery, maybe even paint. but i use photo gallery which takes a few seconds unless one has their camera settings/lighting set properly. .

I find it interesting that my computer can draw settings from someone else's photos. Here they are, perhaps you could give some insight with them? F-Stop f/4.5 Exposure time 1/90 sec. ISO speed 400 Exposure bias 0 step Focal length 10mm Max aperture 3.2645364064955475 flash mode no flash, compulsory Brightness 3.82 Light source unknown exposure program normal saturation Sharpness normal white balance auto EXIF 0230
What can you make of all that? I did read these Fujifilm cameras don't do well above ISO 200.......maybe that's the problem And that they need a lot of light to take decent pics.

. i bet it is just the wrong type of bulbs for the camera and/or settings. i recommend 60W Reveal Bulbs. I think those are the ones I read that were recommended from MG's book
if those are being used, then it is for sure 100% improper camera settings and easily fixable .
OK this is a coin forum not a camera forum I'm going to take a hammer to this camera and see what is going wrong or i'll just try all that stuff you posted. I'll change the light Bulbs. Thanks guys let me see what i can do.

Looks like your using too much lighting to bring out those colors with your FinePix S4200 camera.
