Hi Lucy,

The American Iris Society would also probably like a better picture. And you probably also do. Hopefully we can help you make and upload better pictures of your irises. Maybe we can start by you telling us what you meant by you \"didn\'t scan it well\"..Were you somehow scanning the iris instead of photographing it? Does the picture exist as a jpg file on your computer and, if so, what is its file size? Or are you even using a computer?

Apparently what you uploaded to Dave\'s Garden had a small size that was entered on the forum as 250 x 250 pixels. (very small.) As an example, I will upload a jpg file from my computer that is a zinnia picture whose dimensions are 1000 pixels wide by 800 pixels tall. To allow for advertising space, Dave\'s Garden limits pictures to 708 pixels wide so DG will downsample that and report its size as 0px × 0px (scaled to 708px × 566px) But I think Daves Garden may actually save the original 1000 X 800 picture on the forum\'s server. But, in any case, you can right click on the picture and select \"View Image\" at the top of the popup window, and see a larger version of the picture in your Browser window. Your browser will show an even larger version of the picture if you hit the Ctrl + keys. You can even repeat Ctrl + for incrementally larger views.

In the interest of improving the quality of your iris pictures, we should try to get to the bottom of this.
