I only have one comment: It would be cool if you made your articles in an easy to print format, like pdf. I wanted to read it this morning, but was running a little late.... I could've printed it and read it during my lunch break. If you are so unhappy, why don't you ask Ron for a refund? ;-) |

I just wanted to confirm precisely what John was saying, as it's important that the information on Ron's page is correct. David |

From what I've seen and heard, a TIFF is more likely to be literal in it's 2.2 gamma in the shadows, whereas a JPEG is more likely to render the deeper shadows even deeper, to hide noise. 12-bit - 4096 linear levels from 0 to 4095 - range 4095:1 Yes, literally; level 4095 is 4095 times as bright as level 1. 8-bit gamma corrected, 255 levels from 5E-6 to 1 (or 0.001 to 255) - range 200,000:1 In therms of luminance, it is actually (255^2.2):1 or 196,965:1. -- John P Sheehy |

What's the problems with the pages that you couldn't print them? Too wide, choose landscape. Otherwise you can use Adobe Acrobat to print through Distiller to PDF. if you want something like this. ---------- Ed Ruf Lifetime AMA# 344007 ) Actually, that is what I tried to do and my printer is brand spanking new (Dell 3100cn). Some of the graphics were getting split between two different pages. Some of the gray side bars in the 2nd half of the article got all jacked up: overlapping with the main text. I tired playing around resizing the print, but no joy. I tried to print via two web browsers, FF & Mozilla.... maybe that was the problem?? What is Distiller? I'm always willing to learn new stuff. -- Slack |

new (Dell 3100cn). you're printer driver should have a print-to-fit option. it's fairly common. else, some of the alternative browsers will actually resize the page graphics and all (not just the font like IE). -- Mark Photos, Ideas & Opinions http://www.marklauter.com |
