2008 5¢ Die Clash

[ausjack]

Yes your overlay was very dodgy So by rights you should do three so one for each of the different effigy's, 1966-1984, 1985-1998, 1999-current :ok:

You know I take NO responsibility for my actions but you should know better :mocking:
Actually that would be very handy if you did do one for each effigy to show where die clash can occur :good:

Don't think I haven't considered it. But that's a LOT of images, you realise? Every denomination in three effigies, plus the commemoratives.

Yes it is so how about just one's for the common 5 cents to start so that's only three, or six images you have to overlay I'd do it but I wouldn't know where to start

I'd do it but I wouldn't know where to start

Maybe I should teach you.

Start with images of both sides exactly the same size.
Make duplicate copies to play with.
Open them up in Photoshop.
Flip the one that caused the clash.
Select all and copy.
Paste it into a new layer on the other one.
Set transparency on the layer to 50%.
Rotate the image until it lines up with the marks on the other side.

That's it. Save a copy as a JPG which will flatten it, and keep the PSD file in case you need to fiddle with it some more.

It might be easier if you teach you how to work with burls

I tried and I tried and I tried but I can't do it :cray: I have worked out how to flip one of the image but I'll try again later as it's really annoying me.

Thank Uni, gee I wish I could work out how to overlay them, one day
