So I saw these threads were everyone is showing us the I's, J's and K's in white metal. I thought it'd be interesting to see what kind of D's and E's we have out there. Any metal is fine. Here's my 0.785 RB D VVS2 AGS0

actually there is a ''show me your Ds'' thread in SMTR that was started a week or two ago, and some E''s are in there too.

Hey Mara,
How in the world do you guys get these awesome pictures? Mine look great until I crop it, then they look all icky. Is there some secret to taking them other then the manual focus trick?

Here''s the D thread in case you didn''t find it:

Just curious - have you gotten the pear for your pendant?

try resizing it with the ''keep aspect ratio'' box checked, so that it will remain looking the same, just get smaller. crop and resize as necessary. i typically make my images for PS about 500 width in pixel so i don''t stretch the page, and then use crop to get the image as i want it. actually i crop first and then resize. and then i save it at the right level (aka photoshop has levels of quality) to keep it under 100kb.

Hey Fire,
I go to pick it up this Saturday. Hopefully by then I''ll be better with the Camera. I took 1 gig worth of pictures the other day just trying to find one really good one. They all seem fine until I zoom or crop and then everything seems off. Like this picture above looks like there is lint all over the stone. Some one said it was the jeans in the background making it look that way, but I don''t know if I buy that. It''s really a bad angle of hte ring also, but it was the best one I managed to take. I think tonight I''m going to try zooming all the way out with the camera and then zooming back in with the software.
Anyway, thanks again for all the help with the pendant, I''ll be sure to send you pictures as soon as I get home with it Saturday night.
