There are still plenty that don't accept digital now! I sent some stuff to Runner's World magazine earlier this year and found they don't accept digital files: Slides only! >Plus, digital files put 1st generation photos directly into >the clients' hands, and clients are not the greatest advocates of >photographers' intellectual property rights. True. There are advantages to this, though. With slides, you can only submit the original to one client - you have to wait until they decide they don't want to use it before you can send it out for another try. With digital, you can submit an "original" to several clients at the same time. Of course, you can submit slides to multiple prospective clients by making duplicates, but there's always a loss of quality with dupes, as well as the time and expense of making them. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com Photography and writing
