<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1191368, member: 19463&quot;]Always adjust size downward later if quality is important.&nbsp; There is an absolute rule in digital photography:&nbsp; You can always make a picture smaller without loss but once a picture is small, making it large again will involve a loss of quality.&nbsp; I shoot everything at my camera&#039;s full resolution setting and then combine the two sides to one image.&nbsp; I save that under one file name.&nbsp; Then I reduce the combined file to 1140x760 pixels (my choice because of what prints and projects well as well as can be posted on Coin Talk type lists) and save that under a slightly different name.&nbsp; If at a later date I desire to change something in the photo (e.g. if I discover that I showed the reverse upside down or I wanted the image lighter), I&#039;ll go back the that large file and make the changes to be downsized again to the 1140x760.&nbsp; The reduced files make good 4x6&quot; prints and many will fit on a zip drive for transfer.&nbsp; I still have the large files and have made 20x30 prints from them which are much more detailed than would be the result had I used the small file.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
