ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19210 Posts	Posted 10/29/2020 3:57 pm Unsure if this is posted in the correct forum... Would it be possible to increase the file size constraints for image uploads--perhaps to 400 or 500kb (vs the existing 300kb)? It's my sense that some people coming to the Coin Community site become hog-tied by the upload threshold, and end up posting enlargements of very low resolution images, which are typically useless--or near so. A few seasoned posters have mastered the ability to post great looking images at the existing threshold--others have not. I totally understand file size dynamics and their impact on data management over time. I worked in the information technology industry (and with digital imagery) over four decades. The 300kb limit seems so 1990s. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19210 Posts	Posted 10/29/2020 4:17 pm Yup. Some people can sure make it work. I don't upload that many images, but I usually size at 900 x 900 with a .jpg factor of around 5-7 (depending on the 'fine-ness' of the coin's detail I want to preserve). Anyone have a sense for how large the CC image database is these days--perhaps a few dozen terabytes? Edited by ijn1944 10/29/2020 4:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
