Benefactor Simon Posted October 12 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted October 12 I recently had to scrub my computer, and I failed to back up an old version of Fotor that I used. I primarily used the program for stitching the new photos of the OBV and REV into one picture. I have failed to find the old version of Fotor and the new version is a bit more complex. Before I learn the new program I wanted to see if there are better options. So suggestions are very welcome. I use word for the background colors on each photo. I know this is a basic question but I do not get a lot of time to learn new programs, so if I am going to do it I would like to do it with a simple program, I try not to modify the coin pics much, I try to keep the appearance as true as possible. Thanks in Advance. Simon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambr0zie Posted October 12 · Member Share Posted October 12 (edited) I use the easiest method (for me) After I have the "original pics" I crop the relevant section, put them side by side in Paint and crop again the full relevant section For cropping I use Snipping tool - standard tool in WIndows. Usually I use the free website remove.bg to add backgrounds. Edited October 12 by ambr0zie 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Julius Posted October 12 · Member Share Posted October 12 If you’re open to using your smartphone, removing backgrounds and joining pictures is easy with these two apps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucius Scaevola Posted October 13 · Member Share Posted October 13 (edited) I do pictures with my Iphone, not very professional, but very fast and easy. I use an app called background deleter and a collage app. These are from this morning, you can see that I had no patience 😎 Edited October 13 by Mucius Scaevola 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sand Posted October 13 · Member Share Posted October 13 (edited) I use Microsoft Paint. I run 2 instances of Paint. I paste the obverse photo in the 1st instance of Paint. I paste the reverse photo in the 2nd instance of Paint. I clip the 2 photos, so that I have the same amount of background in the 2 photos. I resize the larger of the 2 photos, so that the 2 photos have the same number of vertical pixels, and so that the coin is approximately the same size in the 2 photos (this will happen, if I have clipped the 2 photos to have the same amount of background in the 2 photos). Then, I click and drag the right edge of the obverse image toward the right, to expand the obverse image horizontally, to create a blank area to the right of the obverse photo, so that the reverse photo will easily fit in the blank area to the right of the obverse photo. Then, in the 2nd instance of Paint, I simultaneously hit CTRL and A on my keyboard, to select all of the reverse photo. Then, I simultaneously hit CTRL and C to copy the reverse photo. Then, in the 1st instance of Paint, I hit CTRL plus V to paste the reverse photo. The reverse photo will appear on top of the obverse photo. Then, I use the right arrow key on my keyboard, to move the reverse photo to the right. Edited October 14 by sand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Collector Posted October 14 · Patron Share Posted October 14 After I use a background erasing program, I combine the obverse and reverse photos in Powerpoint and save the "slide" as a jpg file, which I then crop to fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maridvnvm Posted October 14 · Member Share Posted October 14 I used photoshop for many years but find gimp suits just about everything I want. I have been using gimp for many years and now seems second nature. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
