You need to upload the file somewhere. What you have is a link to your hard drive.

I hear there is a bull market on Red X's right now!

Oops!! Looks like you need to try again

That is one fine looking red X.I like the border you put around it.

ER

It works on my computer! Not sure how to fix this. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Picture has to reside on the web not on your computer. Use "attach file" and then upload file in the upper right. File must be less than 50K

Easy instructions.

See, it looks for the file... on your computer, it's found, because the picture is stored on your hard drive. When we see it, it's an X because we don't have a file with that name in that folder (if we did, we'd see our own picture, not yours).

looks like my first pic post

ER

Thanks.
I guess it's not going to work. All the pics I've taken so far are 450KB size each. Max size allowed is 50KB.
I'll figure it out one of these days.

You can shrink it in a photo editing program. First, crop out the stuff that isn't coin. Then reduce the coin image to around 450x450 or close. Then save as jpeg and you're done.

E-mail me it. Pm if you want and will post it or use a host or use photoshop to make the picture 50kb or less.

Boom

Hey ER...for supposed easy instructions, I got as far as you dod..a little square with a Red X in the middle. Never got past that point yet either!

That's artificial toning for sure!

ER

Hope I got it this time. Thanks guys.

Placid

Yes they work




Top picture seems to be better for color as the ngc slab looks more white than in the second one.
Maybe adjust the white balance some.
Other than that nice pictures

If you use photoshop use file-save for web it compresses the jpgs more.
This is your pic larger and using auto adjustments and its only 27kb.

Looks like you need to work on your digital camera and lighting settings, which is why the image appears to be brownish.

This link helped me tremendously. When the window pops up, select "open". It isn't a virus!

Do everything it says. Have your product manual ready, and be ready to mess with your camera's settings. The end result is worth it though.

Good luck!

Great coin btw

ER

Thanks guys. Just got the camera yesterday. I'm gonna have fun learning.
