<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4644213, member: 19463&quot;]&#039;Too big&#039; wastes resources and will never be seen by most people who never will click to enlarge the photo as posted but the few that see something they want to investigate can do so if the file was &#039;too big&#039;.&nbsp; On thelaptop I&#039;m using right now the last four images in the psychics-fan set appear the same until their hidden details are released with a click.&nbsp; I can see why management and those people who are paying for bandwidth would rather have smaller photos but I enlarge and enjoy half a dozen or so images a day on Coin Talk when I see something that begs for a closer look.&nbsp; This site has quite a few really excellent coin photographers.&nbsp; We once had a &#039;contest&#039; here where we tried to guess the owner of some coins but the person who was running it had to alter the images to remove characteristics that gave away the photographer.&nbsp; The photo hobbyists among us see things that mean nothing to most eyes.&nbsp; If this can be done without troubling the bandwidth measurers I&#039;m happy with &#039;too big&#039;.&nbsp; When we were on Coin Community, the largest allowable size was smaller than the standard I saved for all my collection so I had to make a special reduced version for use there.&nbsp; Fortunately they provided an on-site app that did this easily but it still cut down on posting pile-on replies.&nbsp; Whether that is good or bad is a matter of opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
