Coin photography manipulation tip...

1. If you're going to turn up the saturation levels in order to make your coins look more vibrant than they are using Adobe or other brands of imaging software, change the background to black or white. A glowing blue or yellow slab is a dead giveaway that the image has been doctored. Color doesn't spill from the coin on to the plastic.

In my early attempts at buying toned Morgans off of Ebay, I learned really quickly how easy it was to manipulate the colors. I got pretty good at seeing coins that were juiced up. That and knowing how awful toned coins scan, saved me a lot of money. I stayed away from the juiced ones and bought the scanned ones, worked well for me.

I just saw an advertisement for a microscope with a lens attachment that will image still photos and also provide video. The deluxe model was $995. Anyone know if it works or does anyone have experience on it? Thanks.
