    MAKING LINE DRAWING OVERLAYS FOR COINS

    Kavan Ratnatunga writes: "I purchased another computer
    Toy for Numismatics:

    I have written up my notes on how to line draw an ancient
    coin using PhotoShop elements and the Graphire3 Tablet
    I purchased a week ago. See
    http://lakdiva.org/coins/notes/linedraw.html

    A nice way to display images are shown on a page
    http://lakdiva.org/coins/ruhuna1/lakshmipbtoken_js.html

    This allows you to flip between the coin images and line-draw
    which helps one to confirm the validity of the line drawing as
    you can do using layers in PhotoShop. You Need a JavaScript
    Enabled Browser, else see
    http://lakdiva.org/coins/ruhuna1/lakshmipbtoken_ol.html."

    [I encourage everyone to take a look at Kavan's web pages.
    The overlay line drawings are a fantastic tool which really help
    bring these coins to life. It's a marvelous way for numismatic
    authors to point out key features of a coin and is particularly
    useful for understanding ancient coins which are worn,
    corroded, crudely struck (or all three). -Editor]
