Do you take all those pictures? Is there a lab or studio we can mail stuff to for you to take pictures of and then send back the items back?

The Ds thing surely confirms it's a troll account, right? RIGHT?!
How can one person be ChipGuide...aren't you with like a dozen of 'responsables' ?
Or did the board assigned you 'Responsable for scouring the InterWebz for illegal use of Chip Guide patrimony' ?
If so...carry on, not the first nor the last troll PCF has seen.
With the volume we do over here, you will get tired soon
Any Chip Guide GIFS that needs reference ?
The hat & cane reference could require....

I don't think it's too much ask to note where you got the chip image if you specifically went to TCG to get it. The chip guide is a great resource for all, and I think @ChipGuide is just doing what he believes is in the best interest of TCG. You may disagree with that, but please avoid being insulting and abusive in your replies.
Thank you. FYI. If you use copyrighted images without permission, eventually you will be caught. There are companies, check out PIXSY. that look for copyright violations and then present the website owners with outrageous bill's ($1,000's) for the use of an image and then will eventually sue you if you don't pay up. I am trying to work out a deal to allow PCF members to use ChipGuide images (for non-commercial use) without having to mention the source. But, until then, if you use a ChipGuide please mention where you got it from. This is not something that I like to do, but I need to protect the work of 1,000's of collectors and ChipGuide administrators who donated their time and money to create the ChipGuide. Thank you.

Most collectors have scanners and send a scanned image of their chips. Some collectors send pictures taken with a smartphone. Scanners provide a more accurate image of the chip.

I, for one, am happy that Mr. Guide has joined our community, and I look forward to getting to know Chip and perhaps trading or transacting chips with him.
Chip, I wish the best for you and Mrs. Guide and all the little Guides running around what I’m sure is a very happy home.
PS. My entire email is copyrighted and if you copy any of it I’ll instruct @H|Q to sit astride you and pass gas at a high PSI until nothing remains of your corporeal remains.

Agree. Feel free to hang around for a while @ChipGuide. We are a wierd bunch here, (and theres a good amount of homour here that you'll need to hang around for a while to maybe understand) but we all share the passion about poker chips. I'm a big fan of thechipguide as a resource.

If you are that concerned with everyone knowing an image came from the chipguide, then you should water mark your images like all-chips does with his. Problem solved.
Watermarks have been discussed. We have over 500,000 images on the ChipGuide and we would need to keep 2 copies of every image, with and without the watermark. Website providers put a limit on the number of files, which we would exceed if we used watermarks and we would need to double our website costs if we watermarked the images. Also, watermarks can be removed and they worsen the quality of the image.
In other words, it's not about protecting your images, it's 'Get off my lawn'........Got it!
You may want to look into AWS Cold Storage options. It's only pennies per GB. You can save the un-watermarked images there.

It is only about protecting the images and watermarks don't do the job.In other words, it's not about protecting your images, it's 'Get off my lawn'........Got it!

Thanks for the info. It is not the GB's that are the problem, we only use about 50GB on the website. It is about the # of files on the website.

So they are not YOUR pictures? You take others pictures and appropriate them for your own use? This isn’t your original art? Sounds like you are the one doing copyright infringement and worse, minutely altering original works and then claiming them as your own? Sketchy.
