You are using the program set up "out of the box". Don't know if you got a chance to look through the documentation I sent along with the program, but you can customize the item detail screen (and all other screens) to make it look however you like. I prefer mine a bit different. Below is a screen shot of how I have mine set up. I have added fields, and moved most them around, making them a bit more lined up, and easier to view. The next version should have this screen as the "out of the box" default screen.

It's quite easy to drag the fields to where ever you like them. I have also added informational fields related to the casinos, like the years of operation, and then the issue number of the chips. Also on my screen is "borrowed scan" for those situations when a person starts the program and hasn't had a chance to make his own scans...or mine are better. He can just check the box, and he knows if it's a scan of his chip, or someone else's.

For the scans you have.,...they look great. Very clear and good color, and straight. Just as important is that the scans are perfectly square. Yours are really nice. I really like the crop and rotate tools in elements, because it not only saves time trying to situate the chip just right so it's straight.....which usually took me 2-3 tries, but it resolves the problem of light and bright chips ending up with heavy background shadows. Most scanners have to have the contrast boosted, and the brightness reduced in those chips. Cropping takes out the shadows. when you look at just the database you are looking at just one scan, but when you print a book with 20-25 chips per page, you can really see the difference in the background shading. Some lighter, some dark. Cropping makes them look really super when you do a printing.

BTW- i have written a document of detailed yet simple instructions on how to use Elements for cropping and rotating chips. I'd be happy to forward it to anyone who would like it.

I just want to mention to everyone seeing Andy's screen shot, that he has the screen cropped, so that you just see the item detail information, not the top section with the "listing grid" Also, he has used the "magnify image" feature to show the bigger scan. I have done a screen shot of the entire screen so everyone can see what it looks like . This is only the first of the many tabs, which is the main "item detail" screen. If you notice the box next to the scan....that is for the backside scan. Since the front and back are the same, you would have only one scan.
