By the way: Even though the book is being printed by Blurb again this year, I designed the whole thing in proper page layout software (Adobe InDesign) rather than the dreadful Blurb "BookSmart" software. It made design and layout vastly easier while also giving many more options for overall design. Things like text flow between frames are worlds better. Editing and revising are a snap. Fewer headaches than last year, to put it mildly.
The final pages are then exported as JPEGs and dropped into the Blurb software for uploading. Pretty cool. The only downside is that InDesign won't export JPEG files with embedded ICC profiles. Yes, in 2010 InDesign still won't embed ICC profiles in exported JPEGs (I'm assuming this will be fixed with CS5 this fall), so I had to add the ICC profiles in Photoshop. A quick Action automated the process. So we get a much better book design (IMHO) and easier workflow as well. Not a bad deal. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
