wparsonsgisnet Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share #161 Posted February 13, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) The second draft of the book is available for download. This includes higher res pix in a few cases, and substitution of lower-grain shots for some. Go here (remember it's a big download): bretteville.com | Many Eyes, One Camera 2011 Please check pictures that you were worried about. I am working on the Appendix (where have you heard that before?). Regards to all, If you use the same link, above, you will be able TO DOWNLOAD THIS BOOK FULL OF BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. Sorry, got excited there. Thanks to Carl, who not only hosted the download but also posted directions that even I can understand. Again, the download takes a while. Please go thru the book to make sure your pictures are there, that they look ok, and that your info in the Appendix is correct. In some cases, there are not names for the pic. I may also have lost details that you wish to have appear (or perhaps included something you do not wish to have appear). I have tried to keep straight whose email addresses and/or website url's should be in or out of the book. Please advise me accordingly. Then, it goes up to Blurb. Hot damn! Did I say these are beautiful pix? This is a wonderful work of art. Regards to all, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wparsonsgisnet Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share #162 Posted February 13, 2011 I have made a number of corrections, as requested by the book members. I'll make a new pdf when the responses are complete. Please make sure your pix and detail info are correct. Regards to all, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share #163 Posted February 15, 2011 I got a bunch of comments about the Appendix. The corrections are made and I'll post again after the weekend. In preparation of the next draft, I will try to add more page numbers. My plan is to number the left-hand page, at lower left, in gray (if I can), for pages that end in 2 or 8 (that is, 2 of every 5 pages). Please comment. I like the book with just pictures showing, but it's a community effort in the form of a Greek democracy of old. Speak up! Regards to all, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted February 16, 2011 Share #164 Posted February 16, 2011 Bill, I would prefer every page numbered - relates better to the Appendix IMO where you give the page number of everyone's images. Numbers in small font size, 25-33% grey should make it discrete enough not to be distracting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted February 16, 2011 Share #166 Posted February 16, 2011 Yep! Discreet numbers, but very annoying without them. Our local paper has 'random' page number ID and it makes me fume when I am referred to p9 and it, and surrounding pages, have no numbers. Physically counting pages makes me want to rip them out. Apologies for rant. I'll go watch TV now. Probably another mistake! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted February 21, 2011 Share #170 Posted February 21, 2011 Bill, sorry about the late indication, but I sent it via email to the wrong "Bill". Most of my stuff has reproduced is fine. I have one small thing that may be altered. The pic on P.33, of the Russian Sailor shows him as having a flat head. I think this is because the 8"x10'' border around the image 'assumes' that the pic fills the space. BecauseI cropped the original image to be tight, it does not work well in the different proportion frame IMO. Either can you crop the LH side tighter and enlarge, such that the image fills the vertical dimension, or do you need me to re-send a different crop of the pic? The problem arises because of the white sky behind them. There is is no apparent top to the image when on white paper. If all that is too picky at this stage, then just run with it as is. The rest of the book has shaped up very well. Than you for the hard and prolonged work you have put in for the publication. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be happy to change it if you send me a new file. Best, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted February 21, 2011 Share #172 Posted February 21, 2011 Just for clarification Bill, will the images have the line border around them as displayed in the PDF? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share #173 Posted February 21, 2011 Carl has made available a short book that shows the difference with and without numbers on the page. If you go to the same link as in the first post on this page of the thread: http://bretteville.com/manyeyes2011.html and go the "special update" link, you can download this "book" very quickly. I'll send a query to Blurb to see if they have a format I haven't discovered. Thanks, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 21, 2011 Share #174 Posted February 21, 2011 Although I have not contributed a photograph to this book, if I may contribute something here? I believe that numbers can be added to a Blurb page template without the need to drastically reduce the size of the printed image. I am pretty sure that a "floating" text box, or similar, can be placed to avoid having such a large margin at the bottom of the page. I was discussing the Forum Charity Book with someone from Leica last week. He asked that, for the next one (watch this space), we include the camera and lens details on the actual page itself, rather than in an appendix. This makes it much easier to see the technical details for each photograph, without constantly having to refer to the back of the book. I agree with him. This may be something that you have already discussed here (in which case, please accept my apologies), but it's definitely something that I will be doing when I put the next charity book together.

wparsonsgisnet Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share #175 Posted February 21, 2011 ... I believe that numbers can be added to a Blurb page template without the need to drastically reduce the size of the printed image. I am pretty sure that a "floating" text box, or similar, can be placed to avoid having such a large margin at the bottom of the page... Andy, I am waiting for a second response from Blurb. The first told me to select one of the page formats, not particularly helpful. I will see if I can find a way to float a text box on a picture page. Thanks.

wparsonsgisnet Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share #176 Posted February 21, 2011 I have had a second response from Blurb, and the only option is to put the image and the number into a new image file and use that on the page. I can see that this would give me a change to screw up the images, but if enuf people want it, how about I place a number on some even pages? As you can see from the baby book in the download, there is a big difference in image size using the standard formats that allow numbers in comparison with full-bleed image pages. Suggestions are welcome.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted February 21, 2011 Share #177 Posted February 21, 2011 I would say, in that case, leave it as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted February 21, 2011 Share #178 Posted February 21, 2011 I agree with Jaap. There is too much waste, leave it as it is. Strange that there isn't a std simple way of doing it. Numbered pages aren't exactly anything unheard of. Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
acanalda Posted February 21, 2011 Share #179 Posted February 21, 2011 Bill, I prefer large images Perhaps it would be possible to add few pages at the end of the book with our name, and small icons of our photos Regards, Arturo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
