Digital BW, The Print

If aesthetics is not an issue, why would you want to produce an image as
large as an 8x10.  When this subject came up a few weeks ago, I
suggested using two images, one bold and technical (architecture or a
bridge, etc.) and one softer portrait, showing lots of skin tones.  The
idea for the last go-around included a grayscale or something to that
effect.  That could give three images on one standardized page (keep in
mind that the images do not need to be complete)  I'd think keeping the
photographic images to 7x2 or so.

Depends on where we could store it. A 16 bit grayscale image with 300
dpi 
at 8 x 10 looks to be about 14 MB in Photoshop. I've downloaded upgrades

that are that big over a dial-up connection. Sure, it took a while but
it 
can be done. The bigger problem might be bandwidth limitations where the

file was stored on the Web. Web hosting plans have a monthly bandwidth 
limits that might be exceeded by a lot of downloads of such a file.
Don't 
know what the Yahoo group limitations are.

The other option would be CD. They are very cheap these days. Postage
might 
be more than the CD.

I'm probably asking too much of a print exchange with this but its worth

talking about.
