- Going through and photographing my collection again now that I’ve completed my 20th century type set, and starting with my peace dollars.
I think I’m getting closer to getting my lighting and compositing workflow where it needs to be.
Here are a couple of examples.

I currently take pictures of my coins with my Linkmicro digital microscope and would like to produce side by side (OBV/REV) pictures like those found on many of our favorite sites. I don't want to spend too much money and was looking at Photoshop Elements 2026. What are your thoughts?4 Comments 0 Shares 959 ViewsCommenting is disabled.
- Do you have MS Power Point? If so, you can copy your images to a power point slide. Crop them with the circle crop, , arrange and center side by side , then group the 2 images ( Obv / rev) and right click and save the image to a folder as Jpeg or PNG and presto you have your side my side.

- Wes4x4 Aslong as it still has the elliptical marquee tool you will be set. That is used for circle cropping. I used elements for years and it had what I needed.[Wes4x4] Aslong as it still has the elliptical marquee tool you will be set. That is used for circle cropping.

- Just updated the photos in my type set.
Got a cheap copy stand which helped tremendously. Still working on nailing the settings, they’re better.

- Nice! I just pulled the trigger on a copy stand which will help a lot. I’ll be spending time this weekend shooting the registry sets again hopefully!
What lens did you pick up?Nice! I just pulled the trigger on a copy stand which will help a lot. I’ll be spending time this weekend shooting the registry sets again hopefully! What lens did you pick up?- Rule556 Just a CANON 100 MACRO Ultrasonic. I have been looking at the stand as well. But I think I am going to start construction of an axial lightbox just for my own knowledge and see how that works.[Rule556] Just a CANON 100 MACRO Ultrasonic.

- Just updated my photos with LED panel axial lighting. Very happy with the detail from the 180mm macro, but struggling a bit with the highlights being too hot. I was able to tame them a bit in post. Almost there. Here are a few of my faves:Just updated my photos with LED panel axial lighting. Very happy with the detail from the 180mm macro, but struggling a bit with the highlights being too hot.

I think I just need to experiment with what color temp plays best with my camera.
