Hi, Because I am new, I am only testing a random penny I selected to scan. It bears no weight on what I chose ot post, just picked one from my bunch in front of me. I hope I did this scan/upload thing right..... ....OK I think I did this correct... Woo Hoo ! ! ! (Also hope I choose right category for this...it technically doesn't fall under any other category that I was able to see? Apologies in advance if thread was placed wrongly.) lara4228
Use your printer settings on your computer to change the resolution of the scan. Unless you want a very large file, keep the resolution only at 600 px per inch. This creates not only a good photo of your coin, but takes up small space as a file.
It's fine But just so you know, there is a special section for posting test pics in the Support and Feedback section.
OK, so 600px is how I get a clear pic, so my dumb blonde question of the day is...how did you manage to get the same coin, (both sides) on the same pic? :scratch: I'm not computer illiterate, just photo/image retarded, (in its real sense...slow) lol
He has a photo editing software program that allows him to customize his photos. Photoscape is what I use for mine. Freeware and easy to use....Welcome to the forum. http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/index.php
For some reason, my pics from a DSLR are 10x over the limit (really good pics), but when using a normal digital camera, it fits, but I can't get a good picture.
You have to re-size your pics so that this site will accept them. I think anything over 900 MB is rejected. Anything under that, and the site will automatically re-size them. Aso, make the pics jpg.'s.......
Oh sure, you could scan 'em into the computer. I think that's the best way to do it. There are many threads to help you. Just use the "search" function. Here's one.....http://www.cointalk.com/t142754/
