CK - That IS a scanned image at 20 sharpness and around 72kb, which is the best the new system will allow me to post after many attempts.
Any advice would be appreciated, I am totally lost.

I was wondering, CF, since it wasn't your usual tilted image. You know... I haven't tried to upload an image since all the changes were made but now that I'm trying, I'm having the same issue as you. Here's my latest, a 1953C $2 USN PMG 66EPQ:  It's probably me. |

Right. My scanned image above, for a TPG small note ($10 North Africa), was 600W and 20 sharpness, for abound 72kb. Your image is slightly larger, so I'm guessing you didn't sharpen it. For a raw small note, you can get a larger image up to around 660W and 20 sharpness, or again slightly larger if you don't sharpen it (your image appears slightly blurry to me). I have worked out similar parameters for large notes. I appreciate that other forum members have been posting much larger scanned (?) paper money images and I know any tips would be appreciated by the rest of us. Edited by Coinfrog

Well I was scuppered by Microsoft. I bought an excellent scanner and when they released windows 10 there were no drivers compatible for it and none of the generic ones work. Luckily with camera's on phones being so much better than they were I just photo it and crop and optimise and find that does the trick good enough.

Is the image being resized and compressed when uploading to the CCF? I never use the uploader provided here -- I always use an image hosting site (postimage.io) to add my photos here. That always seems to keep them at full resolution.

@Wheat: my images are straight from my scanner -- which means they're fairly large. Perhaps in the upload process they are scaled down somehow, sacrificing quality. I'll play around with it some more.

I used a fourth-party image optimizer and here's the comparison: Original 4th party (700px width)  Thoughts? |

The second is much better but I can't figure what's going on with the first, its nerfed. I use the sites image optimiser, don't touch sharpness. ( just crop, click apply to all then save) it creates a 1200 pixel wide image which is around the 300kb limit.) The only thing is I have to do it on Firefox rather than my regular browser because it is buggy. The result looks like this.  This is from an image originally 4.3m |

So that's what $100 looks like. |

Steve - Now is that an old saved image that you've already shown, or one using the new system?

Nice! So this is a scan of a note we have not seen to your laptop using Windows 10, or...?  Edited by Coinfrog

Last week, I tried to post a photo here using my Sony laptop using Windows 10 and hosted by Photobucket. The photo was rejected because CCF no longer supports Photobucket.
The photo I posted today of the KC* also came from laptop but using the CCF image optimizer software.
