what Pete is suggesting is that you reduce the size of image that actually gets up-loaded. Although you may have a computer that renders the pictures on Greg's board really fast, some of us do not. Large pictures tend to take several minutes to load and many readers simply won't wait that long.

The next step in your scanning adventure, if I may suggest, is to reduce the size of the file you are up-loading. There are several ways to do this, depending on the image rendering software you are using. In Photoshop it is helpful to change the resolution size from anywhere between 70 and 150 pixels per inch. I would also reduce the "image" size of a single chip to 2 sq. inches. A sheet of chips to 5 sq. inches. Slot cards 3 x 2 inches. A sheet, 5 sq. inches. Once you have an image scanned at the higher size and then you change the size(s) do a "save as" and change the name of the file. Then up-load that new file. Keeping the original file may be desired, and if so, it will be a better resolution. Dump the smaller ones as theye can always be re-made using the better one.

Email me if you have questions, however, be sure to include the names of the software you are using.
