Images for Your Registry Set

[NTNtrivia]

A quick test seems to indicate that if you want images attached to the coins in your Registry Set, you have to host them yourself.

You can't download to the NGC site.

 

Is this correct?

 

I don't have that space available.

Images on your registry coins are uploaded directly to the NGC site. Registry pictures cannot be hosted elsewhere (like at photobucket or something and linked). Registry pictures do not need to remain on your harddrive for them to work properly in the registry, but they do need to be uploaded directly from your computer.

How can I best insert nice, clean images to my posts. I seem to be limited to 200K file size, yet I get rejects with images between 120-200K. I end up making them smaller than I want with lower resolution.

 

What's the optimum file size, image size and/or resolution rate to maximize quality? I'm posting a pic that is 4x4 at 180 dpi, med res jpeg save on Photoshop 7.0 with this post.

Now that pic I just inserted is way larger than other pics I've inserted in US Coins chat board. Now I'm really confused.

Mogulman,

 

The file size limit is 120KB. We recommend you upload .jpg or .gif files as they can be compressed without compromising too much of the image quality.

 

Thank you,

On the boards, you can link from photobucket (just copy/paste the link that photobucket provides for message boards). There is no size limit, but we generally recommend limiting the size to a reasonable amount so we can see the whole picture. The dime you just posted is not only beautiful, but the picture is about the perfect size.
