The problem with any image that big that isn't on the wall is that you can't look at it from the proper viewing distance. That's one of my complaints - OT - about Nachtwey's magnum opus, Inferno. It's truly amazing work, but many of the images are too damn big to be looked at as one normally looks at a book. That may have been his idea, but I don't know that it really works. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Feli Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 2:27 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] OT: A little history On Jan 25, 2005, at 11:15 AM, B.

I know that a Lightjet takes either 150 or 300 dpi. feli ________________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
