[Rhodes22-list] Rummy, check this out

Rummy, 
      I got you a high powered taker on a sail.  You need to get her down. 
You could become a national hero.  You might even get you picture on the
cover of 'rolling stones', I mean 'Good Old Boats'!!!!
      She might even be a cheesehead.  In case you do not know who she is,
she be the Editor and cofounder of 'Good Old Boats Magazine'.

Subject: Re: Hi Resolution Rhodes-22 photos wanted


Ed,

Sounds like an offer (the part about taking Karen sailing down south 
somewhere). We're hoping to see temperatures above freezing later 
this week here in Minneapolis.

About resolution of images: Prints work. Slides work. Some digital 
images work. I can take a look at any sample jpgs to tell you whether 
they'll work for us or not. (If they're around 7 megs as a tif image, 
they'll generally work. But I can to a quick look at resolution in 
Photoshop and let anyone in doubt know for sure.) Here's more on the 
subject than the group wanted to know (from our website).

Thanks (in advance) for your help . . . and all the best to all in 2005!

By the way, I never get involved in any lists (due to conflict of 
interest issues) so I'm particularly unskilled at this. If this needs 
to be forwarded, I appreciate anything you do to pass the word along.

Karen


Photos.
Illustrations and photographs are important. Thirty to forty percent 
of the page space can effectively be used with illustrations and 
photos. We prefer slides shot with Fujichrome Provia 100, Kodachrome 
64, or similar films. Color prints are second best. Please turn off 
the date stamp. It is difficult to remove that from your photograph. 
It may render a photograph useless, in fact. Electronic photo files 
must be high resolution -- at least 300 dpi -- to be usable for print 
reproduction. 4.2 to 6.2 megapixel cameras are generally up to the 
task.

Digital cameras are out there. If you want to take digital photos for 
publication, here is what you need to know: 900x1500 pixels is the 
absolute minimum size that works for us. That image can be printed 
(at 300 dpi) as a 3x5-inch photo. No larger. To run an image as large 
as a 5x7, it needs to be 1500x1200 pixels and somewhere around 7 megs 
in file size. A full-page image is 2500x3500 pixels, often running 25 
megs or more. If you give us a very small image, it limits our 
ability to do page layout. So larger images are better.

However, please don't send huge unsolicited images by email. Before 
sending those large high-resolution images, send small jpgs (120x90 
pixels with a file size of approx. 32k) as apreview. Large 
high-resolution images should be sent on a CD by mail. And just 
because you can put a lot of images on a CD doesn't mean you should. 
Choose the best shots, don'tmake us open and look at every shot you 
took. We have incredibly short attention spans.

Don't manipulate your images for us (using Photoshop and other image 
software). Send your files as .jpg or .tif files without doing any 
color management or sharpening. We'll do the conversions here. An 
image is degraded with each modification. So don't modify it in 
advance, please.
