I prefer to keep graphics in a subfolder of the book folder. I create them in appropriate size, in original RGB profile, and at 300 dpi, as EPS. Keeping RGB is smaller than CMYK, with broader color gamut, and 300 dpi is high resolution, suitable for print. But, before creating final output, I duplicate that original subfolder as backup, then run a script in Bridge or Photoshop on the original to either convert to CMYK for printing press (keeping 300 dpi), or run a script to resize to 96 dpi for online.

I feel that keeping the graphics in their own subfolder makes it easy to keep multiple versions, to swap in and out, depending on output destination. I would note that the various archiving scripts that are available all seem to want to automatically pull graphics from anywhere on the computer and place them in an images subfolder, anyway.

I'm facing the challenge of organizing the file structure of dozens of
documents and their respective imported graphics.  What's are the best
practices in this regard?  I'm inclined to maintain an Images folder with
separate sub-folders for each document's graphics, and another sub-folder
for graphics that are common to multiple documents.

Where I worked before we stored images in a sub-folder below the document's
FM folder, but I'm leaning away from that approach since it complicates
things when you are scanning images outside of Frame.  And other reasons,
of course.

Thanks,

Doug
