<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2461505, member: 19463&quot;]I know TIF is well aware of the matter but I suspect many contributors to this project are missing the point when she asked for images.&nbsp; When you make prints on paper or fabric, you will need a minimum number of pixels to avoid what some call the &#039;Jaggies&#039; or pixelation.&nbsp; For small prints like the tie, the number wont be huge but it will still be a lot larger than what we need to look good on a computer monitor (I don&#039;t even want to mention the fact that some read this list on a phone).&nbsp; Q&#039;s images above are excellent in terms of lighting and sharpness but click on each and you will find that the Florian and Divus Severus are much smaller than the rest and, as such, not likely to reproduce as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; While we mention the need to get permission to use seller images, we are overlooking the fact that very few sellers us images large enough to make a good looking print.&nbsp; They are made to sell coins online.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>TIF will have a rough job choosing images when so many have to disqualify themselves due to sharpness/lighting/color which are harder to &#039;correct&#039;.&nbsp; Large images can be resized down to what she needs but, once made smaller, the quality is lost and can not be resized up to what it once was with original quality.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Each of us approach the hobby differently.&nbsp; Learning to photograph coins is a major part of the hobby for me.&nbsp; It is good to see so many others here share this &#039;side&#039; hobby.&nbsp;&nbsp; The final tie will be better if TIF can find coins higher grade than most of mine but with photos made by one of our photo oriented collectors.&nbsp; I&#039;d be happy to work (via PM or email) with anyone who wants to improve coin photo skills.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
