That’s how big the experimental photo book is in Word, and it only has 25 photos. It’s currently *sloooowly* being converted into a PDF file; even though the book’s not done yet, I want to see how big the PDF file is. Too big, and I won’t be able to transfer it to the printer. Grrr.
Still needs a cover, a title, a bunch of explanations (the photos don’t have any text on or near them; they’re full-page untarnish images; at the back there is an index with thumbnails and explanations), and all the copyright and other gibberish.
The photos are all 10.25 by 8 inch at 300 dpi; what I sholuld probably do is slap together *another* little experimental print job, with one or two photos reproduced several times… all at 10.25X8, but at several resolutions. I want the best image quality possible, but if the printing is done at, say, 150 dpi, then there’s no good reason to have hugenormous files with greater resolution than that. Sadly, the MagCloud site is not exactly forthcoming on that little detail.
Ah, as I was writing, the PDF file was created… 47 megabytes with high-quality images. Not too bad, just barely transferrable.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It sounds like each page is being saved as a photo. Is there a bunch of scanned documents?
