yes the format is important. in your case, using tiff or jpg would both work. however, the original image resolution, color mode, are far more important settings, as per the earlier email. 300ppi, rb or cmyk, works best. interestingly, jpg's apparant conversion of an image has been studied, and it has been discovered that the prepress and printing process does its own variations anyways, so 'moderately' compressing a jpg does not create any significant problems to an image. do ensure your image is embedded in the software. many software tend to link images displaying a low resolution rendering. the original image must be sent to the press or the pdf > - Sandip > _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
