Looking into something different than just setting here just looking through a loupe and throwing coins in a bucket. Trying to do something to help with identifying some "Not so Collectables".
Hope I got this right. Kind of testing myself here too.

Steven: You've got it right. Now enlarge the width of your images to 600 pixels and they will be easier to see and read in your title bars.
I was going to do a thread about ED, but you've covered it now.

I have had a major problem with resizing, in PhotoBucket. Maybe it would be better if it was ALL done, before uploading?
BYW, nice show.
Dick
After-thought...Would it be better if the size was 600X600, rather than 300X300, as I have tried, (and failed to get)?

Dick,
I sized prior to photo bucket as I always do in photo shop. For some reason no matter what I do with the first one here it won't go to 600. Confused

YES!!! resizing before uploading works best for me.

Just to be clear... when you say re-sizing you mean image size not cropping right?

One trick you can try is if you have one image that's the right size, it can even be a blank image but the right size for posting what you can do is paste your already cropped image or images into that image (by right clicking and use copy or paste) then to size the individual clips grab the corners (don't grab the edge or they get elongated or smushed) to fit them the way you like. Then change the name when you save it so that blank image of the right size is always there for you. This makes it easy to go from one software to another, they all should let you right click and copy/paste.

You can even let them overlap as long as the areas of interest are where you want them.

I'm sure there's better ways but this works with all software.

I usually delete the image from the site. Re-size to the one I want, then re-load. That way the tag will stay the same and you use the same tag on coppercoins. If I don't delete it, then the site gives an additional number for it.

Coop, I take it that the 600 pixels is the "full view" on the thread. It seems to take up the full space, there. I seem to recall that someone said to make them 300X300, and that is what I have been striving, (and failing, so far), to achieve.
