Just a newbie here examining some of my US Flag stamps.
Are these pictures examples of "tagging" ?
I was using an ultraviolet light.
Thank you,

For best results, take pictures in a dark room so normal light does not affect what you see. This is important for stamps that have a weak response and checking for afterglow (usually hard to see on US stamps).

Hi all,
Thanks and GREAT ideas!
The dark room will help.
Really interesting and appreciate the feedback.

JR,
When I was doing the Famous Americans series, I created a template using known tagging varieties. That way I could compare what I had with know "overall tagging" and "solid tagging" examples:

Hi Lars,
That is a really cool idea and a really nice page!
Really like the vertical printing!

"AlbumEasy?"
No, just generic image processing. I use Fireworks since it came with Dreamweaver, but Photoshop would work, too. Takes a while to get the elements you need, but after that a snap!
