Hi Bill,

Already a day late on my promise. I have got to check my C1 conversion settings. My files dont seem to have color space info, it's blank.

To get to give spec (2884x2471), do people down size or crop? I am planning croping.

Pix on the way regardless after I play around with C1 one more time.

thanks.

This weekend I will start to ASSEMBLE the book!


I don't have pix from: Atufte, Awolf, Daniel Ortego, Huwge, Kameraguy, Papih, and Pemayeux, and also need a decision on pix from Mongrelnomad.

I need a release from Oliverk.

You all have pm's on this.


On Saturday, the content will be frozen.

Thanks to all,

Bill - Thanks for spending an otherwise pretty nice weekend assembling the book. When you finish, let us know, and we will hoist a symbolic glass to your labors. JB

Bill, can you provide an estimate of when the book will be available? I've checked out Blurb.com and I'm anxious to try it out if you need a tester.

Take care.

[wparsonsgisnet]

DP, thanks for offering. I am about done with arranging and am planning to post the order. I am trying to see if I can do this with pixoasis.

I'll be back to you in a few days.

tnx.

Bill,

One question: is this a print-on-demand printing service?
What's the proceeds like per sale?

[wparsonsgisnet]

Arthur, you will request the number of copies that you want, directly from blurb, and they'll come to you in the mail. You will pay them for the cost of the book(s) you order and the postage. They will then print the number of books that you request.

News for all -- the selection process is complete. I will post the pix in order this weekend and indicate the url where you can see them. If everyone is in agreement (there is no definition of this state ), I'll get the images to Blurb in a week so we can order books.

I wanted to include post #39, from Håkan Dennersten, but he's not responding to my pm's. Andreas also emailed him, but I haven't heard anything about that either. Too bad. A great pic!

Regards to all,

[carylwithay]

Bill, are you going to get the book first to see if you approve of the printing before we all order? What is the cost of each book? For how long a period can we reorder books? If they come out well, they would make nice Xmas gifts.

We have 237 images from 77 photographers.
