<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 4651128, member: 44316"]I think the byte size of a very good photo can be 100k or less. iPhone photos can have 50 times that, and the image size is far too large. So, there is no need to "zoom in." You can take photos from far away (12"?) so that the whole coin is in focus and then when you crop it and put obverse and reverse together and compress the image it will still be larger than most web-site photos. I don't have an iPhone 10 but I borrowed an 8 today and took photos from close (4") and the basic image of each side, cropped, was a megabyte and 2000 pixels wide. Far too large. Of course, I can change the pixel size and compress them, but the point I am making is that had I taken the photo from further away it would not lose focus from zooming in (and, I don't think it did) and still be large enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
