Cover upload

I just registered with website. I'm trying to upload a cover that scanned in at 642mb which is too big (500mb limit). In order to reduce the size, I imported from the scanner into Picasa. That produces a .bmp file that CPG doesn't recognize. I used an online bmp>jpg conversion app that reduced the file to 632kb. Now, CPG won't load the cover - I get a failed message. Any ideas? I've attached the 632kb file fyi. Thanks. (I should add that I signed up for the Bronze/free membership - is that why, maybe?).

Still ng.
Settings changed in Canon LIDE: Resolution = 75 dpi, JPEG image quality = low.
Then, in Picasa settings: File size = 92kb, Dimensions = 556 x 762 pixels, JPEG Quality = 69 (411), x resolution = 75, y resolution = 75. |

Printing of my collection

I have tried to print a list of my collection but have not been able to figure out how.
Under My Checklists, there is a print function for HAVEChecklist. However, it doesn't print all issues; only those on the Box list that appear on the screen will print - not those that are part of a date range. If you click on the date range issue, you can see all items in that date range that are part of the collection, but then the PRINT ALL isn't possible from that screen.
How can you print EVERY issue you have without going thru each Box and each date range item?
Thanks. |

Thanks. I'll check out www.irfanview.com. As for the scan uploads, I think I read you can scan your cover in and display either the stock scan or your scan for purposes of your collection alone - you can then show any prospective buyer what the cover actually looks like. Anyway, I did nothing different, and all of a sudden it started working. I guess it could be that I had to go from Bronze to Silver once I hit the 50 comic limit so maybe that had something to do with it after all.
Edited: I just tested a pretty ragged cover and it went up ok. Thanks again.

Cover scans: Stock vs. Custom if selling

When I log in, I can see the items that are recently up for sale. I noticed the cover on the sale "thumbnail" is the stock cover. How can we display the uploaded custom cover instead of the stock cover so that potential buyers can see the quality of the cover? I've spent 15 minutes looking for the secret but no luck.
Thanks. |

No simple CSV export, am I right? |

Ron, I've done what you suggested and it doesn't seem to work. Not only does the Custom cover not follow the sale posting, it reverts to Stock cover if I exit the item and go back in to inventory. Also, if I completely exit the app and go back in, it has reverted to Stock. |
