Jonathan But they are good enough for what they are being shot: newspapers. It seems to me, everyone wants to eat their cake and to pay as little as possible for it! For example, I was approached a while back to see if the files wired by news photographers can be upped so that they can print A4 with bleed. At the time, I said no. The compression applied before wiring was just too much. The only alternative seemed to be to shoot with less compression, make a copy for wiring but I don't think that workflow was acceptable. Now there is software for cleaning up JPEG artifacting and also Photoshop CS can do a better job of upsizing but still not enough for a wired JPEG for cover quality. If someone is really desperate to use a wired JPEG for a cover, I suppose they could print it on a laserjet or inkjet and then scan it at a high enough resolution to give them the pixels they need. Then, it would be "good enough" for a cover page! <g> Shangara Singh. __________________________________________________ :: Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Photoshop CS :: Photoshop CS Essential Tips || Photoshop Glossary (eBooks) :: Examaids for Adobe & Macromedia Certification :: http://www.examaids.com || http://www.photoshopace.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
