Weired story, Wendy. OTOH, a renowned nature photographer in Norway had an article coming up in a German photo mag, and the editor asked him for a slide. As the guy works with digital, he said he could send the raw file if they wanted. But alas, the mag wanted slides and slides only, so he ended up making slides from the digital files for them to scan...
Go figure...:-) Both yours and his story sounds to me like lack of competence at the publisher's. Jostein oh, btw, here's the photographer's website. He's a complete Nikonoid. http://www.naturfotograf.com/ ----------------------------- Pictures at: http://oksne.net ----------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "wendy beard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "pdml" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 9:27 PM Subject: Publishing and digital photos > Someone on one of the mailing lists I'm on needed photographs for one of the > chapters in her soon to be published book.
