To be quite honest I don't think you'll be able to pull this one off. I suggest buying some cardboard mailing tubes and printing all the images and sending out the prints. Sometimes analog is still better than digital. If you're absolutely positively dead set on sending out a disk, I think Macromedia makes something that can drive a slide show from a CD. No telling if it can handle your giant images however. I would rely on paper. If someone sent me a CD that crashed my computer I would not hire them for anything.

Or even some of the warm or cold tone black and white films. Such filters would not work because each digital camera has its own way of seeing color. Have a look at any of the web sites where you can see side by side image comparasons and you'll see. The color is all over the place. http://www.steves-digicams.com/ http://www.dpreview.com/ Even different cameras from the same manufacturer handle color in different ways. Now having said that... You can save curves to run against images from _your_ camera to make it shift colors in different ways simmilar to the films that you like. Find something that you photographed with film and go photograph the same object using your digital camera. In the Gimp adjust the curves until the color matches the film example of the image. Save your curves and you've done it! In theory you should be able to run the same profile against most other images from your digital camera with simmilar results.

Whenever I'm forced to use a windows machine the first thing I do is install the Gimp, wget (its available for windows), and all of the ImageMagick tools.

So how do I measure that? Hi, I've prepared a web page with two images. One is ONE dpi and the other is set to ONE THOUSAND dpi. Both images are 100x100 pixels. They will appear identical next to each other in the web browser. They will also be the exact same file size and they will take the same amount of time to load. Here it is: http://www.obscurasite.com/jon/images/dpi/demo.html Note: Both files were saved with the exact same amount of JPEG compression. If I wanted to make them load faster I could have boosted the compression to get a smaller file size but the quality would have suffered. (gimp shows you the damage as you adjust the amount of compression... find the sweet spot and you're golden) Now go tell all your friends...

Select a pattern in your tool box or from the pattern palette. Double click on the "bucket fill" tool and adjust its properties to "pattern fill" (FG Color Fill is the default) Now just click on the area of your image you want to fill with the pattern and it should fill.

If my intention is to print a picture measuring > 8"x10", at what resolution should I scan ? dpi = dots per inch ppi = pixels per inch lpi = lines per inch to know the minimum you need to scan you'll need to know what sort of dpi your printer is capable of printing. Lets say its an ink-jet that'll handle 1000dpi To print an 8x10 without having to scale the image up or down to make it fit you'll need to scan... 8000 x 10,000 pixels! Pretty easy eh? Depending on the software you're printing with you might be able to get a decent print from less. If you're going to be retouching the scan you might want to scan at double or triple the resolution of your printer so you can make really fine corrections and then scale the image down to the maximum size your printer can handle right before you print.
