Dear List... Am I alone in encountering this sort of thing or does it happen to others?
A design company are re-printing a brochure for one of my clients which I originally shot and supplied digitally. They have one image missing. Unable to identify the shot from a verbal description I ask if they either fax a copy or supply some reference via e mail. No problem. I also ask if I can supply the original via e mail. 'No. We need it on CD because we can't print from e mail. It's not hi-es.' 'How large do you need the file?' 'About 300dpi.' 'Yes. But what size?' After being transferred to their 'technical' department I am told they need 'about 40mb'. This morning I download the sample they have sent me via e mail. Once uncompressed it is 40mb CMYK. Given the old adage that resistance is futile I have just burnt the original 30mb RGB file to CD so that once they receive it they can convert it back to the 40mb CMYK file they have just sent me.
