Unable To Upload Pics

Or you could use a photo sharing site like flickr or I use Photobucket.

Once one begins to pull inward this two headed arrow will transform itself into a large plus sign, ( + ), which indicates that one will now be able to proportionally re-size the larger photo in question into a photo having a smaller physical x-y dimension and a smaller corresponding file size.

This Windows 7 Snipping Tool is tremendous since it preserves ALL of the intricate details initially created from a large file size such as a 2 MByte .bmp, for example, and reduces the file size down dramatically to a much more manageable file size that will easily fall within CCF guidelines for attaining successful photo uploads etc.

I avoid using other software (other than this Snipping Tool) when manipulating downward any large file size. This saves time and I avoid having to learn any unknown idiosyncrasies that a new imaging software may present etc.

In summary it is my recommendation to always start by creating coin scans or photos by saving them as a .bmp or TIF file extension which normally ends up making an extremely detailed photo with a very large file size usually above 1 MByte, for example.

But after snipping these large file sized and detailed .bmp photos the end result will be a very small file size containing all of the pertinent information with acceptable final sizes that fall within CCF guidelines for successful uploads.

I save all 'snipped' photos with .jpg extensions.

Finally,remember to always delete the .bmp or TIF files after the smaller .jpg files are made to keep the computer HD free of unnecessary junk.
