andywoj00 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 09/03/2016 4:15 pm Ray, When you're taking/posting your close-ups, how do you determine 1)original size to snap, 2) cropped size and 3)resizing for posting here to ensure maximum clarity/resolution? Is there a formula based on the original size of the RAW? Is it based on the camera's overall sensor or pixel count? Do you go with a percentage of the original or a numeric value? Seems like when I crop in DPP, then resize after/when converting to JPG, resolution does not seem to be near as good corner to corner as the post you pic'd above. I know hardware is a factor, but I want to get the best out of what I have. Using a Canon 1000D and various lenses depending on coin size. Any advice/info is appreciated.
