I am a free-lance writer and photographer for periodicals.
I have always submitted .jpg photo files after scanning at 600 dpi and never had any problems with quality. I always submitted WORD .doc files separately to my editors.
Now, I did lay-outs for a book using InDesign and inserting .jpg files for 250 graphic frames.
My printer publishing company informs me that I should have used .tif files, since .jpg is compressed format.
The original photo files were 2.2 gig on my computer.
The InDesign book file is only 50 meg.
Have I failed to save the photo files into the document?
Have I lost reproduction quality needed for the presses?
The photographs look fine when printed to my laser printer in draft form.
