I was there to try to get his printing business, but I asked him about his impression of digital vs film submissions for his magazine. Currently, he's getting about 50% of images submitted digitally. However, he finds his production staff spend more time on digital images than those that come in as transparencies. The reason? All the scans for film based images are sent to his pre-press studio for scanning. The colour corrention is done there to the magazine's specs, and his production staff don't have to worry about it as much.. Those images that come in via digital have to be colour corrected, or at least examined to ensure consistency. Of course, unless they are dealing with skin tones, the latitude is quite wide for colour. But the control from transparencies seemed to be higher in this instance. another 0.02 (0.027 Cdn) to the debate. jm - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
