<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 974889, member: 16269&quot;]I&#039;m a member of several forums and I see the same problem on all of them. Members will post an interesting query regarding one of their coins and then to illustrate, will post the most atrocious photograph. It&#039;ll be either too dark, too blurred, or too small and expect an intelligent answer based on that pic. </p><p><br /></p><p>We are in the digital age. Instant photography. If the pic isn&#039;t acceptable (which is evident on the screen in front of you), delete it and <i>take another one</i>! Why would you post a picture that you can see is obviously of such poor quality when in a minute or two you can take another that would be 100% better? </p><p><br /></p><p>It is frustrating and time wasting to the viewer and everyone gets annoyed. The poster has the coin in hand and can refer to it whereas the viewer has only a sub-standard image on their computer screen to go by. The viewer gets upset because they can&#039;t tell what it is the OP is referring to and the OP gets annoyed because he isn&#039;t getting the answers he wants. </p><p><br /></p><p>All I am saying is if the picture doesn&#039;t look close to the coin you have in hand or if the detail you are asking about isn&#039;t apparent, take a few minutes and redo the photo. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, crop your photos. It isn&#039;t necessary to have so much blank space around the subject. Scanned photos are the worst for this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing is posting over-sized photos. When you are in editing mode, use &quot;image size&quot; and reduce your photo to around 600 pixels in width. You get a nice sized image that fits nicely on the screen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for letting me vent.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
