I've mentioned Issuu before and I'm amazed at the wide range of cool stuff on there. You can search for a particular topic and find magazine issues and books (both previews and full copies). You can click on a user's name to see everything that the have published. What I like about it is that I can find stuff that may be big in another country, but virtually unknown here in the U.S.
One example of that is Camerapixo: https://issuu.com/camerapixo Their publications are beautifully designed and contain amazing inspirational images. The issues I have looked at so far are over 150 pages each (and there are a lot of them). LeeFilters Xposure magazine is neat also. The "iPad optimized" versions seem to be full issues. https://issuu.com/leefilters Sometimes you will find a user that has organized things into various "stacks" (publications grouped under a particular title). Here is one example: https://issuu.com/davidoc/stacks Not sure how it works with other browsers, but if you find a publication you like and want to view easily larger, with Google Chrome you can copy the URL of a publication and paste it here: http://issuu-downloader.abuouday.com/ (you'll have to dismiss an annoying popup window) When you click the download window, all of the pages of the publication load as thumbnails on a web page (but they are full size). When the page has fully loaded, you can right-click and Save as... (type: Webpage, Complete) You now have all of the full size pages in a subfolder. You can convert all of the images into a single PDF (for convenience) using a full version of Acrobat or an alternative program like seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS0_GcUPTCU Once you've got a PDF you can print it and put it in a binder, if you like. If you are, like me, looking for a nice way to spend some time waiting for Spring to arrive in the Northern Hemisphere there are worse ways than perusing Issuu. -- “The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness ” ― Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Earth from Above -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
