Downsize everything to 2000 x 6000 pixels Convert to sRGB color space Give 'em hi res JPEGs and wash your hands of it. The 6-megapixel size will work on most phones and tablets (my tablet's native resolution is around 5MP) and allow them to zoom in without getting pixilated. JPEG format in sRGB will let them go to any local shop with a print kiosk and make their own prints.
