Tina's Scans

Ok guys/gals Tina is having some problems with pictures so she wanted to get these up on the board so I am posting here. She is new to all this so I bet they will get better. She would like suggestions or info. I already let her know that single stamp or a page at a time would be fine and easier to identify. We all had to start somewhere.

Thanks for sharing your stamps,Tina.
Thanks,enthusiastic 1775mac.

Those are pretty hard images to work with. I tied to run one through CS2 but I'm not sure I made it any better. In any event this grouping was the most interesting since I tend to hoard worthless multiplies of these years. I know they are low valued but I love them.

I was able to enhance that a little but I really couldn't do much with the others. You certainly have a nice start for a collection. I love collecting the years shown in the last two photo's. In fact I have a couple of pounds of the stamps in those last two photo's that I am still soaking. The problem is I still buy tons more, I guess I'm a junkie.

You a nice amount of stock books though I can't really tell what you have in the make up of stamps.

I'm not sure why your photo's are so bad, it almost looks like a camera phone or low lighting with a hand held camera.

So far the last two photos appear to be all very common and plentiful US stamps. However as I stated they hold a special place in my heart. it looks like someone really put some time and care into the stock books.

Let me know what type of camera you are using and how knowledgeable you are with digital cameras. This will help me give you advice for photos. People think it is the camera that takes good photo's. But the truth is any camera can take outstanding photo's with a little help on the photographers part.

yes it was my camera phone I also have a few on the digital camera I had my friend over tonight who knows enough about computers to help me but the problem im having is it can only be aomething like 90kb if thats right and mine are way larger he tried to make them smaller and whoa now im really lost im going to take some better pictures tomorrow with digital any ideas where I should start? which country does somebody want to see? I have 46 at least to choose from ill name a few Israel,Sweden,Cuba,2Chinas,3Czechoslovakia,5DDR,Poland,3Romania,Canada,Mexico

Tina, do not worry about size when using photobucket. Using your digital camera will give much better quality. It is a learning process and just keep at it and I know you will be posting soon.

The problem is that the tutorial on how to post pictures needs to be revamped so it is easier to understand for newbies.

Just sayin'.

i agree they need an easy to do computer for dummies id have me one if there was such a thing then id have what ever anybody would be interested in seeing any request?

Tina.....

If you have time.......I'd like to see your older Swedish material please.

It isn't all that hard if you want to down load to the site. First you want to have the file at no more than a resolution of 72. The image size of about 650 in width works for most images. Then when you save make sure to save it a smaller file. This is the basic steps but I can update them to the point that anyone can post an image. But the above steps will help manage the file size for download straight to this site instead of linking.

I thought those might of been a camera phone photo. if you want you can email your images and I will send them back resized for you until you get the hang of it.

I read your directions and its all foreign language to me im sorry im a pain just waiting for somebody who knows how to show me I need the hands on training all those words kb,mega bytes,pixels dont under stand and for me to shrink the photo down is way beyond me so how can I email you some pictures and is there anything you are wanting me to send? am I allowed to give you my email not sure rules and all

Tina,
An easy way to email directly with another member is to click your mouse over their username to go to their profile. Then you can email them directly any info off the forum board to their email address. I find that much easier than posting on the forum for 1 person and wait for them to sign on & find the post.

thanks I now know that ill make things alittle easier on meself

Tina,
I am learning from your efforts...thanks for hanging in there!!

well peg this is very frusterating for me ill get it someday
