<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 1150295, member: 26972&quot;]I dunno.&nbsp; It seems that coin collecting is so far behind with technical advances. I was talking to 4k FB eBay seller the other day who uses a Sony Mavica, selling 1K coins from 256k files from a floppy disc!&nbsp;&nbsp; I mean, come on, consumer grade cameras are at 20MP which is converts to around 10MB depending on the subject of course. I really don&#039;t think the intention is to reduce those images to 1% of the original size... Don&#039;t even get me started with gas chromatography or laser identification..&nbsp; lol</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been playing with dynamic range stitching shots together and tinkering with a random orbital tilting turntable for coins in under my HD Cam&nbsp; but this board doesn&#039;t allow embed codes for video (of course why would they?)&nbsp; - why? because there aren&#039;t virtual coins to be seen.... which..... is beyond me...... &quot;coin in hand&quot; is over rated, my eyes don&#039;t see chit.&nbsp; IMO&nbsp; of course!&nbsp;&nbsp; lol&nbsp; MAS&#039;s MPL would pay for a&nbsp; 1/2 dozen virtual set ups.&nbsp; lol...&nbsp; anyways...</p><p><br /></p><p>My photobucket account uploads the file without compressing/changing and hosts the image at what looks like 90% of the original.&nbsp; I can save from Gimp when I crop to a 85% jpg compression with reduces a 5MB file to about 1.5MB - my camera bit depth is 24 at 96dpi&nbsp; - so yeah I can reduce the file size....... BUT!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>when I clicked on that BLUE MEANIE of yours there is no way I would have picked up that it was a DDO-2&nbsp;&nbsp; you need this kind of resolution in order to see the die chips and scratch under Abes chin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can do these, but I think they are more of nuisance.</p><p><a href="http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/?action=view&amp;current=561be35a.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/?action=view&amp;current=561be35a.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/th_561be35a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>ah&nbsp; yep&nbsp;&nbsp; type 2!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/561be35a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
