[MCN-L] Mac vs. PC

Drury, Rich is right. You wont have any real troubles, unless youre working with something exotic. Most of the issues are only user related. Be sure to have your imaging and color management performed on a Mac (for a bunch of reasons) but with some common sense workflow decisions

With apologies to Eve, please consider the following: Regarding the second part of her email; If your budget allows you to use a good commercial printer who has printed art publications before, you will have exceptional results from an entirely digital workflow. True, we rarely see press-proofs

[MCN-L] managing digital files

HI Garry, you may want to look at the workflow going the other way. When individual users take their pics off the cameras, they upload them to an asset manager running on a server somewhere on your network. Most of those out-of-the-box will enable you to configure the upload process to force the

[MCN-L] Archive materials - image sizes?

All, Resolution is only half the battle. Ensure that youre getting adequate pixels along the longer dimension of the image. 8000 without interpolation is a good starting point. Consider scanner quality as well. If youre looking to scan once make sure youre using a publication quality

[MCN-L] Image Server?

Not a sales pitch, but: My friend runs a company called SeeFile. Its a simple-dimple web or NAS based appliance, that will allow you to link images, and view your files online. Images and metadata only, though. www.seefile.com Jeff Jeffrey Evans Digital Imaging Specialist Princeton

[MCN-L] Tricky question - is Mac better than PC?

Marty- It's all about the business model. Apple designs it products for a certain user, both consumer and professional. Creative pros will reap the benefits of that. The new monitor on the MacBook Pro is one good example, without talking about anything under the hood. Also, Unix servers

[MCN-L] informal survey of digital photography devices in museums

Will, At Princeton, we remain a film-to-press workflow, however we do use a Canon EOS-1Ds MarkII (and love it) for half page images and jpegs. Along with digital capture technology, you may want to inquire about match print / color management workflow. Those answers will be interesting

Re: DM-SIG IT-SIG: costs of backup

Hi Deborah, I look forward to reading this string as it develops. FOR IMAGES: I am an advocate for near-line storage- SANs or NAS devices. This option can cut your costs dramatically (or somewhat anyway) and can help you in delivering files over the network. Usually after the databases

Re: archival storage of CDs

I second most of what's been said. We are currently involved in a large digitization process delivered entirely on CD. Archival CD is a bit of a marketing term these days but you can do preventative things such as not writing on the discs and handle them very carefully of course. Don't sweat

Re: [MCN SIG: Digital Media] Uniiversal Photographic Digital Imaging Guidelines

At Princeton we have two delivery points: TMS and Press (Publications). TMS takes the large Jpegs and rolls away. But for press, most printers will want uncompresses RGB Tiffs. Or CMYK tifs if you're proofing in house. Dont compress a tiff - Burn 'em to DVD if you have to. I would

Re: image management software
