When you save your pics of coins what size do you have them at, mine are in the 850 - 975KB and yes I'm finding this may be too big.

For CCF Gallery you just have to be below 1024KB and copy and paste into CCF, but at that size it's eating up a lot of space.

For CCF you have to be below 200KB

Do you lose anything by going smaller?

Detail...

Lets take something I'm familiar with - a 13mm 3cs. If I downsize the image to 1024x1024, then each dot represents the average light from 0.013mm of the coin. Features smaller than that are lost. If I size down to 480x480, each pixel is 0.027mm.

But it's ALWAYS a tradeoff - the more pixels the more detail, the more space.

Most of us find that space is cheap and you can never get those pixels BACK, so we store the best images we can and then downsize them for posting (after all, my screen is only 1650x1080 so anything more than that is a waste to post.
