Quote: I don't get how people are uploading a 300kb pic with great detail. First you have to start with clear pictures. Most of mine are originally 15 MB in file size. This next part is dependent on your photo editor. Crop the photo to show the details you want to show. My top to bottom is 5.4k pixels so that is my upper limit for square images and the file size will decrease dramatically (usually down to about 3 MB for me). After it's cropped, you then resize the image at 70% quality to the number pixels that will bring the file size within range. A 1K x 1K pixel image will vary for me between 150-250K file size, dependent on color variation in the image.

Wow I see the difference in quality now.... what the heck.. It's like my mind was playing a trick on me. In my mind I was thinking the image was a higher quality then it actually was, because I have the coin in hand and know what to look for in regards to what I see(or think I see) in my picture. It makes me wonder if I was right when I was told I was wrong with some of the error / variety coins I have posted in the past.

Quote: The average pictures quality was 4,7 MB and making it 300kb really takes away from the details that get seen from the originals. To be clear, size has zero to do with quality. Here's a pic of the date on a Morgan dollar I took years ago, it's 101KB, a third of the limit.  Quality has to do with lighting, technique, focus, setup. etc The focus issues on yours make me think you're holding your camera when you take them, a big no-no. Try this setup. http://goccf.com/t/422658

bobby131313 Are the last photos I uploaded better? The first set of photos I used my phone. The last few I uploaded I used my microscope and the picture was around a 20mb photo then reduced to 4:3 and took away quality into 300kb. Any noticeable difference?

Thank you for the tip Seeker_101 ,can you see a difference in quality? Started with 20mb average pics, then changed to 4:3 then reduced quality into it was around 300KB. Is this better Errers and Varietys , Greasy Fingers , Coinfrog ? Cheers and thanking you for the feed back on images. I didn't realize how much the quality was lacking because I have the coin in hand and see what I see and my mind was playing tricks one me. Cheers!

With the newest photos...if I had to venture my opinion, I'd say I think your light source is causing reflection doubling (especially with photos of the reverse). Try covering light source with a coffee filter or plain paper. Good luck but once you master your photos we all can help out more.

Greasy Fingers Thank you for the response, if so then why is it when I have a light source in one spot and slowly move my finger across the light source the full letters move? And what I mean by move is, it looks like two strikes on top of on another and when I block a certain point, one set of letters goes black and the other lightens up, and the same thing the other direction?

Not seeing any doubling other than light.

Hey Cujohn , I was sitting in a room mostly dark and had one source of light from the other side of the room which is about 10-12ft. The PL was barely glowing. Idk understand what you mean by doubling of light? Particularly talking about my last three photos on page two as well. The other photos had two light sources so I tried deleting those from the topic but it wouldn't let me.
