I got a scanner for my birthday on March 9 and I'm now getting around to
posting my pics of a suspension bridge I built nearly 8 years ago!  This is
my first attempt at putting something on BrickShelf.

There are four pictures in this folder.  The first was taken in my basement,
and the remaining three were taken while the bridge was on display at the
elementary school where my wife teaches. In viewing my pics on BrickShelf I
have a few questions.  I'd appreciate if someone can be of assistance.

#1 Why is the quility of the last three pictures so poor as compared to the
first picture?

#2 Why do the pictures appear massive - how can I make them to fit the
screen like most everybody elses?

You don't say whether you're scanning prints or scanning negatives, but I
wonder if your scanner/software combination is delivering a higher resolution
than you were expecting, say 150dpi, rather than the 72 or 96 usually used for
web graphics. Thanks for giving members of WamaLTC a preview of these last
month!

Hello Constantine,

First,  I enjoyed visiting your club's display at the Equestrian Center.  It
was worth the 3 hour drive to view what you in the WamaLTC have set up!  If
my memory serves me right - you were the one with the digital camera taking
pictures most of the time.  I thought I would make it to your next meeting,
but I can't even get to a meeting of AFOL's here in central PA within an
hour's drive of me.  See this from Larry P. a few days ago.

I'm scanning prints.  The prints are fine, as you viewed them yourself.  I
know they're not professional.  They look great in my folder here on my
computer.  It's just when I upload it to BrickShelf I loose the quality.
I've even E-mailed them to myself and I'm getting excellent results and
they're the right size too.  I'll figure it out.

Take Care,

Patrick
