TrueView... The "Transparent Background" version is HOT stuff!

I really like the way these float without seeing the cert numbers...

Yeah, that's pretty nice.

agreed. very nice setup and that is one killer coin.

Yes it does. I just tried re-sizing one of mine. What would be easier is if there was a transparent option for each size

cointime, Looks great!

I resize all my images posted here to a 1150 width as it fills the whole thread box.

The background is transparent but on this message board it's gray because of the design. So it's like having a gray background

But yeh having a coin by itself using a PNG file (transparent backgrounds) is nice especially for later, gives you many more options.

in Photoshop I save all my coin images with transparent backgrounds so later if I want to matte the coin on any other background it's very easy.

From what I'm seeing they look like an older pre prong NGC holder. I though everyone was getting away from that look.....

I always liked it though, nicely done!

png and transparency is nice but comes at the cost of size in kb/mb and thusly bandwidth.

i would recommend using them sparingly; especially since visitors to pages generally have no idea what will load until it is done more or less.

to further my point; out of the last 5,000+ images i've posted/sent via various methods, 0% have been png, bmp or tiff.

i have used a few gifs for animation but only a handful.

Broadstruck,
Thank you. I used photo bucket and I think some pixel were lost in the translation I was wondering what size you used, cause it looks perfect. I have a 27" and try to remember that not everyone does. That last seated qtr is very cool

Stef,

Now that just isn't fair -

The $2.5 Sesquicentennial is amazing

I like the transparent background idea, although I don't think that's what is making them float.

Drop Shadow is the culprit, I noticed a lot of the new photos have it.
