A common trick to show the differences between two variations is to produce alternating images of the two coins.
It would be nice to give two coin numbers (or two URLs) and have flipping images displayed for the obverse and reverse.
It wouldn't be as fine-tuned as edited versions, but would be helpful in many cases.
An example of the image I'm talking about: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic110181.html#p909709
Specify two coins and show flipping images of the obverse and reverse

Quote: "mikimaus"Probably a nice feature would also be a slide L-R, but not with fading from one to another, rather just showing both pictures one over another, but with sliding you could easily compare two pictures (show more of first and less of another and vice versa).The link bjherbison used can do this. Here's a screenshot:

In my opinion, the best is an overlay 50/50) in still, I hope I can find one amongst those I have somewhere!
Iceland 1 aura 1939 small/large 3
Example;
On the other hand, I don't know how to do that!

Beside the technique in making it, it also helps to have well-taken photos, under the same light, of two nice coins with the same toning.

My tool can do that, but I tried it with the photos of the two 25 Centimos from Venezuela that were used as an example above and it didn't turn out well because of the different appearances in the photograph. So I took images from PCGS and made this:
I adjusted the images until Lincoln aligned, and then move the fade control until I liked the result. But I started with two superb photos of wonderful coins taken under the same conditions.

I have found out how to do it with my photoscape:
- Download PhotoScape and open the “Editor” Tab;
- Open the folder with your 2 images using the left navigation menu;
- Choose an image you plan to place above and right-click it. Now select the option “Copy to Clipboard”;
- Choose the second image that serves as the basis. The image will be shown on the big photo editing area on the right. Now go to the bottom toolbar menu and click on the “Insert Photo” icon.
- Then select the option “Paste from Clipboard”. You will see that the first image is pasted over the second one.
- Soon a window will appear that enables you to play with opacity. This is the most important step because it let you adjust overlaying image transparency. So set the transparency level as you wish and proceed to image saving.
- The final step is image saving. PhotoScape let you replace original photo or create a new one. I suggest making a new photo as you might be not fully satisfied with the result.
I have to mention, you’d better try several times, before you become a PhotoScape guru. Don’t be afraid to play with opacity and image proportions. You can cancel all changes any time with the “Undo” button.
Here the result:
and the two original images km66.2
and km66.1
