Hi all, I'm trying to decide if I should continue to re-image all of my coin images for my own personal online collection. Below are examples of the old imaging method (the dark ones), and the new imaging method (the lighter ones). It's the same coin, I just need your opinion on what procedure you think is the better one for taking photographs of my set. I may have to rescan about 2,000 coins (I haven't counted but it's a lot).
Old (recaptured screen images):
- 1901 old - o.png (126.55 KiB) Viewed 14087 times
- 1901 old - r.png (129.15 KiB) Viewed 14087 times
New (actual scans):
- 1901 new - o1.png (953.01 KiB) Viewed 14087 times
- 1901 new - r1.png (959.97 KiB) Viewed 14087 times
Of course, you can absolutely see more detail in the new one, but I feel that it's a bit washed out and I don't know how to "fix" it (if you think it needs "fixing"). I've been debating with myself whether I want to scan all my coins all over again. I just need some wise advice from the community. Sorry for the size of the second one, it's 800x800, I guess I could have reduced the size further. I didn't know how to size it in the inline attachment.
Thanks so much for reading this and providing your input, it'll be very helpful.
Dan
