I have on several occasions provided large numbers of well-organized images on CD's to book publishers in the U.S., the last time around also providing contact sheets and some enlargements. On both occasions I was told images could be provided in digital form, and in both cases my images were not reviewed by the picture editor. I was afterwards told the editors may not have had the expertise needed to be able to access the images.
This relates to magazines in as much as if a handful of images are submitted in digitial form they are usually easily managed. A large number of images for a major, segmented project, may put an editor's image management skills under undue stress. The problem for the digitally challenged editor is made much worse if the publication deadline is short. It is much easier for the relatively uninitiatedf to shuffle a number of transparencies around on a lightbox than to have to deal with digtized images.

I am also aware that some do not and still prefer trannies. It is probably a case of checking out with the publications before you shoot the job. good shooting Stewart Jackson. > Message date : May 20 2004, 01:09 PM > From : "John Begg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject : [PRODIG] Digital or film for magazines > > Hi All, > > I am about to shoot an architect's own house, and hope to put the images > together with an article for release to various magazines. > I would love to shoot this digitally, but fear that I may be limiting my > market.
