    Nice gastropod!  How do you get that perfect black background on your photos?

    Thanks Don.  I do all of my images with PowerPoint 2016.  I take photos on black felt and then import the images onto a PowerPoint slide.  From there I can remove the background which works well on lightly colored shells not so much on dark fossil bone.  I crop, and position both views and then create a new background devoid of debris.  I add text and save the slide as a jpg.  The process works well although I am not satisfied with the field of depth with on my images.  I probably need to invest in a bellows to take different planes and software to merge multiple images.
