For the cover, they prefer film so that the editors have lots of cropping options available. If the cover is a news picture (which it rarely is), they will of course use whatever is available.

I have no idea what the absolute resolution parameters are, but I do know that this is the magazine's general policy. - -- Rolfe Tessem | Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. rolfe@ldp.com | 96 Morton Street (212) 463-0029 | New York, Ny 10014 - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
