[NSRCA-discussion] Electronic KFactor Question

[Paul Brine]

The standard resolution is fine.  Why not publish high resolution photos separately in an album for those that want them

Hi all, 


I have a question for you if you download the electronic KFactor. The way I publish the electronic version is through Adobe InDesign and turn it in to a pdf. I can make the issue high quality so that you can zoom in and the pictures are nice and clear even at 400%. The problem, of course, is that with higher quality comes much higher file size. I know some of you view the issue on your iPad or smartphone and some may have a slower internet connection. The difference between the "regular" version (typically 5MB) and a high definition copy (could be 35MB) is substantial. What I'd like to know is if the high quality version is important to you. I have the October issue online now. There is the "normal" version that I've been making for some time now (5MB). I have placed a high quality version online as well for you but I"m not sure if it's feasible to produce both every month (specifically for disk space on our server). **MAKE SURE you know what version you are downloading. Remember R.T.F.S. (Read the flipping screen). I would like to know what our membership likes/wants especially since Jan is now producing the electronic issue in full color. I will also work with Derek to find out if we are on a specified disk size or have "unlimited" disk space through our hosting provider. If we are unlimited and enough folks want it, I can always just produce both and let y'all choose which one you want. 


Thanks in advance for letting me know, 
Scott
