I suggest that in tutorials, it should be mentioned that coins need to be removed from whatever holder it is in when possible before taking photos. John1  |

It's a good idea for better photos John1,
but getting members to do it might be a challenge.
It is hard enough getting them to crop and rotate their
pictures let alone removing them from the holder.

True enough. I think the rotating thing is a smart phone problem. It seems that most of the time a mis- rotated photo is from a members smart phone. John1 |

I do agree with you John to a point, in my case I had all my coins in 2x2's and in albums before I figured out how to take photos. Now I'm playing catch with my photos (more coming this winter) when you take 40 to 80 pics a day I don't want too take the time to take them out of the 2x2 and then have to put them back in.
Now any new coin I get it does get photo'd before it goes in a 2x2.
I also agree with you that pics should be rotated and cropped before being posted. Turning the screen sideways is a pain.

WADR,it only takes a few minutes to remove the staples, and you will get much better photos of your coins for your own use as well as posting any here on CCF. John1 |

John1-
I agree that the rotation problem has gotten worse since more people
are using smartphones now, but can they not use the Image Optimizer for
cropping and rotating, thats what it's for.
I think that most of them don't even bother reading or dont care
to read the tutorials on picture posting.

But the problem seems to be that members just don't want to rotate or crop pics, for some reason. It takes just a few seconds, but helps us out a lot on the forums so we don't have to stretch our neck to look at the pics. Thankfully, my computer monitor actually rotates, so that can help sometimes.   |
