Hi godfather
Pics can be uploaded to the forum, I'm assuming you have found the camera Icon below the post box? and that your file size is below 100KB (the forum seems to like around 60KB)
Click camera Icon, browse for your file -select -upload- do not preview your post or the attachment will be removed.Just submit.
If you continue to have problems let us know there are other options available.

As long as we're on this subject, I'm having the same problem today. I scanned some pics of darkside coins I bought; they are in the 400-500 KB range as well, but I downsized them with photoshop. Only problem is then, by the time they get down to the 40-70 range which the forum likes, the image size is so teeny tiny as to be ridiculous! I've never really understood this downsizing business and perhaps I never will. When I look at other people's pics in the 30's, 40's etc, they seem to be plenty big enough! What causes this?   |

adobero, there are two ways to decrease the size of a picture;
1- You can reduce the size
2- You can change the format.
It seems that you are doing first one. I guess your pictures are .bmp or .tiff or some kind which keeps high space.
You should try to save them as .jpg so their quality is kept quite high with less file size.
If you can't manage to do that, Rick and Susan have offered help, you can always e-mail me too.

If you change the d.p.i. to 96 when you resize, that will significantly reduce the size of the file. From there, you can still make the size 4-5" and still be under 100k. Save the file as a .jpg.

Thanks for your advice on this guys. Acually, my file is already a JPG file, and I did try to reduce to 96, but still the size is 400 something K. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I scanned 6 coins at once? I would guess the approximate real life size of the scan with six coins crammed close together (3 on top, 3 on bottom) was about 4" long by about 2 1/2" high.

You are much better off cropping out the coins individually. I'm sure that's the reason that the size is so large.

Thanks, Susan. I'll try that, I was just trying to be more effecient...why have 6 separate pictures when you can just put them altogether! But, I guess that's the way it works. |

The forum database needs to have a constraint.
Anyway it seems more useful to me to have all the coins separately .
