Thanks, the photos print out better on my Canon inkjet.

I have included some more tweaks by Marc and me, and lightened the
photos. I've also made a US-Letter version, which is the one I'll be
using for OSCON, since I'll get the printing done in the US.

I can tweak the photos, and I will do so.
Marc, re legal issues about group photos, is there a difference between printed
photos and ones on the web?

I printed out the brochure on my B/W with cover stock and it is fine, although,
I can't help but think that the photos need some tweaking, they are a little
too dark.
BTW and FYI ... the laws in Canada are being reinforced with respect to group shots. I am in the middle of a marketing
video production workshop and we are being advised that group shots like these need release forms from ALL people in the
shots. Our workshop instructors (they own their own video production company) are advising us not to use any group shots or
street shots unless you get a release form/contract from all of the people in the shots regardless of the number of
people in the shot. You could try to blur the faces, but, even then, there are software packages now that enable the
un-blurring of photos which makes blurring of faces even impossible to use (our police forces in Canada use
un-blurring techniques to catch online child molesters) -- if the photos can be un-blurred then the
privacy laws apply.
I am not sure how that would impact the photos if there were any Canadians in
the shots. We may not be able to print out the brochure in Canada unless we had
a copy of a release forms from all of the people in the photos or risk legal
action from a Canadian in the shot who would object to her/his photo being
published. I am sure that other country laws may apply here as well.
Cheers,
Marc

I printed a test of that brochure and have two comments
1]
Since there are two photos on the front panel, it bleeds through the
standard paper.
I printed it out again with heavier cover stock paper [not as heavy as
card stock] and there was not image bleed through.
So, it prints well on home/office inkjet printers, as long as you use
the heavier, thicker, paper. I use cover stock since it is stiff enough
and runs through my printers better than card stock paper. Now if you
are lucky to have a colored laser printer, then the standard weight
paper you use for printing [20-27 lb or about 75 g/m^_2 ] should work
fine. Cover stock paper is about 67 lb in weight, while card stock is
about 110 lb.
2]
For my inkjet printers, it seems that photos/images print out a bit
darker than what appears on the monitor. When I print out photos on
photo paper it does not do this though. So maybe you should modify the
photos, i.e. brightness and contrast editing, so the photos print out
better. The top group photo may have issues for this type of editing,
since it is a dark room photo. Maybe it could be edited from the
original source file, though.
Jean, Marc
you are doing a good job taking the leadership of the brochure[s]
project. I thank you and all of the others that are helping to get this
type of marketing tool out to our people. I know it is hard to get
people to follow up and look at LO's web site, if you do not give them a
brochure or other handout. Business cards do not cut it.
Thanks again.
Tim L.
