I am new to the registry & have started listing
my 1964 Topps Giants set, but wanted to add pictures.

I can't seem to get them to "take"

what is the trick?

(I am computer literate & thought it was simple, but
it never would add the pic...)

    First of all, are you adding .jpg or .gif photos?? The computer will only take these ... it will NOT accept a "www." web link to a photo.

    Also, your photo must be UNDER 100,000 "whatchimacalits". I had to go back and change several of mine from "maximum" to "medium" to make them smaller in memory size.

    I think I am scanning with too many "whatchimacalits".

    Thanks!
    I will try again.

    BigKid,

    After scanning 1500+ images myself, I can tell you it is very time comsuming and at times frustrating. However, if your scanner has a feature that allows you to select the "dpi" then I suggest you use 100"dpi" and DO NOT enhance your photo after scanning it. That will put you over the 100K memory limit and your image will NOT appear on the registry. (I found that out after about 200 scans)

    Also, Vargha gave me some great advise that I will pass on. He suggested that I use a BLACK piece of paper and put it behind my card when I scan it in lue of the WHITE cover of my scanner. This really bring out the corners of my slabbed card.

    I second Carlos's suggestions. If your scanner allows you to scan at 100dpi, then do it! Also, decreasing the compression quality will save memory as well. Bottom line is that the memory allowance for each image is 100kb. Personally, PSA will not take any image above 98 kb from my PaperPort OneTouch scanner. Thus, all my images are 98 kb or less. The "black" paper or background for the slabbed card is an excellent idea and highly recommended!!!

    If you can get your hands on Adobe Photoshop 5.5 or 6.0 it has a afeature call "Save for Web". It slices the image (say a 100kb) down to 25kb with minimal, and I mean minimal, quality lost
