In that program you will have options for editing. As for improving the quality it depends what options your program has. Sharpening can help or play around with white balance, etc. If the image is of poor quality it will most likely only amplify the "fuzz". Just by enlarging the pic may be good enough to se the details you're looking for. Where are you storing photos on your computer? I use a Mac, so it's a little different.

hhbkiddo Pillar of the Community Canada 1248 Posts	Posted 05/01/2009 4:47 pm Hello Cheris, firstly, it is technically illegal to copy or download pix from ebay, as all images are copyright of the owners. thjat aside, we all do it... so nothing much to be concerned as long as you do not use them to post your coin.... I have seen some idiot posting a copied picture of a FORGERY with his authentic coin... beats me.. then, most of them you can right click with the pointer over the picture, click : save picture as, and save it in whatever file you chose. Then, if you have, open it with photoshop or similar picture SW and play with it, enlarge it, crop it etc. BUT, and here is the big but!!about 98 of all sellers have their pictures so small on purpose, or in such a LOW resolution taht any enlargement will distort it and render it useless. this way they have a picture up, but details are purosely witheld.You can guess any number of reasons.. Basically, I do not buy unless there is a proper picture inclusive details... buyer beware! hopenthis helps/... with a MAC... sorry, donot know... BUT apparently Macs do everything automatically at no extra cost.... according to the TV ads... HHB Report this Post to the Staff
