Fellow MoPo-ites,   When you are taking digital pictures of posters so that you can include them in your eBay, Movieposterbid, etc. auctions, WHICH SETTINGS ON THE CAMERA do you use?  My guess is 640 x 480 at a superfine setting, but I might be wrong on this.  Obviously, those who want to hid

personally I take the images with the HIGHEST resolution setting. Then readjust the size (same time adjust colour balance and cropping etc) in Photoshop. If you take the BESt shot first you cant go wrong, its not going to work if you need to enlarge for whatever reason if you start small. So i sa

Small (640 x 480 pixels)   I was always told that this is the best size for the internet.  That is why you don't need a real expensive digital camera with tons of megapixels for Ebay. Todd - Original Message - From: Saul H. Chapman, Ph.D To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU

I suppose I could take photos at 3 settings (small, medium, and large), but that could take an enormous amount of time as the numbers of posters increases (not to mention all the resetting on the camera). As others have mentioned, you don't need to take anything but a relatively high resolution

Saul,   If you're not going to use an image manipulation program to resize your image (like Photo Paint, Photo Shop, or dozens of others), then 640x480 pixels with the finest quality setting is the best way to go for use on the internet and for auction pictures. With decent lighting on the p
