    Playing around and want to see if this worked. Trying to get my collection to play in a GIF on-line.

    That is really neat. If possible I would slow down each slide just a wee bit.

    It's nice, but the the tradeoff for animation and reasonable file size is loss of resolution. I'd rather see still images of better clarity :).

    Firstly => IS THIS SORCERY??!! (very, very cool)

    Secondly => your collection rocks!! (some amazing examples in there, my friend)

    Thirdly => I'm super hungry (mmmm, bacon would good, eh?)

    Oh, and I agree that it looks far better slowed-down a tad (again, very cool)

    Depends on the number of photos you include and the upload limit of the site. This is a 9.6MB gif comprised of the other photos I posted. reduced to 90% of original size. No resolution change, just size. Rumor is that size does not matter. I guess you do not agree.... :blackeye:

    TIF has a 90 gram Ptolemy (she is all about size!!)

    ... yah, I hide in the locker-room when she struts-by!!


    ;)

    ... ummm, is it too early for that type of humour?

    Ooops sorry, I've done it again (super coins, 42)

    I like it and I see no problem with the resolution. Problem might be when you have hundreds in your collection?

    Yes. I thought of that.

    However, If you want to have all you collection in one photo for your ipad, iphone, computer, you could stuff everything into one big gif. I have the same gif at original size and resolution (18MB) on my desktop now.

    Also I can see someone chopping up their collection into themes or subcategories that would comprise 10-20 coins each and being able to put them on-line. Just another way of sharing a collection imo.

    btw I downloaded the free phtoscape software off CNET after seeing it mentioned on a modern coin thread.

    All in all...I LIKE IT. And that's an amazing collection. CONGRATS!!!

    Can one 'interact' on a fully running display like that?? I mean to pause on a coin and things like that???

    I don't see that capability allowed by the SW

    Not sure. If it did work, I wonder if it would have limited compatibility for those trying to view a ppt without having a viewer or add-on installed to their browser

    @4to2centBC, perhaps you should start a nice website for your fabulous coins :).

    www.wix.com has a free version with plenty of features, including all kinds of photo gallery options. It's very easy to use, too-- I use it and am not exceptionally skilled with computer stuff. Having my coin pictures online makes it easier when posting on forums: just copy and paste the image URL.

    If I ever thought my little collection was large enough or good enough to warrant a website, I might. But I have seen the likes of your site and AJ's and........well............for now I will limit myself to these obscure corners of the internet. My collection is a rounding error for your collections.....

    But thank you for the nice compliment. Undeserved as it is.

    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    that's pretty cool 4t2! if you need to show several coins in a limited space but have plenty of room for a large file, that would be great. or you want to compare several coins without having the viewer need to scroll down on a page.

    i'm playing around with stuff today with gimp, i may try one.

    I think that each of your fabulous coins deserves a GIF of its own.
