| | I think I'll simply ask them to come to me for the file to send to printer...that way the least amount will be lost due to re-saving.
I face this situation on a daily basis, and took me a long time to "let go."
I would not sweat any info lost due to re-saving, as long as the image file is not being altered as such. In other words, just because I copy the file, then someone else copies it, and so on, does not cause any image data loss. Only if one makes a change within the file, then saves again will the jpeg compression data loss problem kick in.
For reproduction I'm asked to hand over 300 DPI files, image size 10 inches on the long side, saved as jpegs, Quality Medium (5), Format Baseline ("Standard"). I'm told more than that is useless to supply because the output printers cannot "see" more.
Doing great (knocking on wood), thanks for asking! Yes, theater is getting squeezed like everything else, but seems my clients know that a good publicity snap can fill a thousand seats, so I'm clicking on until they find someone who can do it better cheaper. (g) |
