Could We Have, Coin Photography For Dummies, Conversation?

G'day, size of your picture, as a computer file, is usually the problem with uploading.
I learned a two-stage process:
1. make a copy of your pic to work with and crop it down to the coin with minimum backround.
2. look in your photo-management program for a command "re-size" or similar; then use it to manipulate your cropped pic down to 100kb.

On the left of this screen, look for "Tutorials", and under that "Uploading Photos".

ok, what if I took my memory thingy out of the camera , took it to Walgreens and had them put them all on a disc? Is there a cert ain thing I have to ask for , like can they reduce each file to 100 pixels? anything.

Sunny, I am away from home and posting from my cellphone, so I can't help much tonight. Starting tomorrow, we're going to turn you into a Windows geek.

Tomorrow will be "Windows 101." Whenever you get to it is cool; I used to teach this for a living so it's a labor of love.

There are 3 topics to cover: Windows file management, editing pictures for publication and saving pictures online for publication. I've been wanting to do this anyways; consider your request to be the inspiration.

Congratulations!

Now, if you use the little Mountain thingy with the blue arrow and put that Photobucket link you pasted in between the bracket thingies, you can get this:

thanks Ken! Love the dancing fruit. was this a self portrait? LOL.

So guys, I'm fried today. I started reading on the VAM site , the 101 tutorial they offer. taking notes on attribution. If I read it, and write it, I usually learn it faster.Then the key Vams of the obverse, now I have to go back and do the reverse.
went to the coin shop today. Sold some old gold stuff, broken chains, rings and stuff from Old girlfriends that my husband doesn't wear. ( ha ha, NO! he can't get the rings on his finders any more.) I did sell my wheat pennies at 2.5 cents per, but no other coins.
The one question I had on my 1922S Peace the girl couldn't answer. she'd never seen one like it. It has some wear off the feathers, but she thinks it might be from the case it's been in. It's so clean, she thought it had been cleaned, but when she looked at it under the microscope, and through the glass, she said NOPE! not cleaned. I told her I'd been trying to prove for 2 weeks that it wasn't a really good coin, and she told me she couldn't either and the guy that would have known was gone for the day. GRRR!She did say it was beautiful, and she's right...it is! I wish I had my disk back from Walgreens so I could show you guys, maybe tomorrow.
It was a great experience, I think I made a new friend,( she collects seated and Morgan dollars.

So now, I think I will wait for a coin show that someone on here is going to and have them look at my beautiful coin. who should that be?

hello all! I found you! I didn't mark the site and had been gone so long I couldn't find my way back. I have a few new coins, a couple Peace dollars, and some small silver minted 1915 as that's my Dad's birth date, and he gave the collection to me.
I guess I should be buying from folks on here, didn't think of that:( sorry. anyway. I got so discouraged when I couldn't post my pictures, I gave it up for a while, went back to writing full time and doing research. then, after months of nothing on TV, it's now TV gone wild. anyway, could we begin again this post your pics dialog? Thanks, Sunny
