TIP: PRACTICAL PHOTOSHOP

If you are preparing photos for printed media (books, magazines, etc.) use photos with 300DPI. For Web use, 70 DPI is fine.

For printed materials, choose Photoshop EPS and then CMYK EPS.

TROUBLESHOOTING: SENDING PHOTOS VIA EMAIL

Make sure that the person you are sending a picture wants to receive a picture AND that you have both worked out any potential technical glitches. One common problem is the inability to determine the type of a picture, particularly across the Mac-Pc divide.

This can be fixed easily enough, but if you don't check ahead of time, a non-readable (or seeable) attachment simply frustrates the receiver.

One quick word about sending photos via email. When in doubt, remember the caveat from our discussion about email -- do NOT send unsolicited photographs.
