Thanks! Smiley  I usually scan mine at 150 dpi, unless the card has some detail that I want to show up better.

Really?  I haven't noticed that with mine, but I work from a laptop.  Can you do me a favor and let me know if my scans look spotted and brown?  I have so many cards yet to scan that I really don't want to do them all at 150 only to find out they don't look right.

Your cards look great Grin

Some of my cards look like they have very little pixels, some look spotted and brown, and some are really dark when I scan them 150. So it might be the card or my scanner Undecided

BTW - Cindy, I noticed you have that the PoA original set had 9 filmcards in the description of the set above the cards Huh

With the cards you have, you should.  The Tripod site building tool is very easy to use, too.  I know a little bit of HTML, but it's nice to not have to use it for the site.

Please keep this in mind when someone answers this question I have (web illiterate, I am)
Also keep in mind that I'm still on dial up!!  Roll Eyes
If a picture is scanned at a higher dpi, is that what makes the download (to view) slower?

The answer to your question is yes.  I scan my cards at 200 dpi, crop them, then rezize them to 450 pixels wide (landscape).  Tower told me that the picture file size should be around 40 kb so that people with dial-up won't have such a hard time viewing the pictures. Cheesy

It doesn't really take that long, the cropping and resizing take less than a minute to do each scan.  Also, by resizing it makes all the picture sizes uniform.

I resize mine using the InfranVeiw program. You can cut the pictures in half making it smaller Smiley

I signed up for Photobucket so I could show my cards... I'll be adding more later. Here is the link. I've mostly only put my ROBOTS sketches up.
