Welcome to the PGM!

[Hado]

Here's a few guidelines to make visiting the PGM forum enjoyable for everyone,

 

- Make sure you have large clear scans of both the front and rear of your book (there are some great tips for uploading scans on pages 2/3)

- Don't crop the edges of your scans too tight to the book, edges and corners tell a lot about a grade.

- Tell us a little about the book, PQ, any known defects, if it lays flat etc.

- If you have a camera take some pics of how the book lays and interior.

- Try and have only one or two books per post, too many and it gets confusing.

- Post no more than three books per day, to keep from hogging the first page.

- Have fun, ask questions and learn from the guys here who have a keen eye

How about how/where to upload scans and how to post them in here?

 

I size my scans to 1000 pixels wide and keep the aspect ratio allowing the height to auto size.

Good call Boozad, photo bucket, pbase are a few free photo hosting sites.

It used to be in a 9.8 slab. I prefer it in a Mylites2.

Thank you Hado

I am sorry if my issue yesterday caused distress to some members, it was not my intent.

I hope this is stickied and helped people avoid social fau paux and I also hope it helps established members be more in-line and understanding of those whom are new to the site as well.

It didn't. Don't worry about it.

Hey Boozard

 

Can you explain in more detail how you size these? Is there a tab in photobucket?

 

This I what mine look like after being uploaded to photbucket unadulterated. The original scan was done at 300 dpi.

 

 

Yours look much better.

 

Also if this becomes a sticky the images on photobucket get removed after a time. Not sure what we could do about that.

Popcorn? Really? You think Boozad will rip me a new one?

I resize mine to 1000 pixels in width using Adobe CS2 after I've scanned them in, then I upload them to the site in my sigline. I just find it's better for hosting larger scan sizes, although I think there may be a way to enlarge scans hosted in Photobucket.

[The-Collector]

Cheers. I think I will swap hosts photobucket is not nice to use. The uploader drops out constantly even on different computers in different states and the auto algorithm it uses gets rid of much of the important detail for HG comics.

[Boozad]

No problem mate. I gave up with Photobucket years ago.

[Hado]

Does anyone know how we can get this stickied?
