if poss thou, could i have a copy of the scan unmolested, are you gonna scan it in high quality, i want to add my own personal touches to it.

if thats ok, either lob up a link to it on here, or pm if you rather, i can host it if you dont want other hammering your bandwidth.

Thanks.

ill pm you a link to my FTP, you can dump it directly onto my pc.

i've tried uploading disgustingly big files before.
It doesnt work:( send your views on this matter to [email protected]

just read your pm umpkin the same goes for emails im afraid.. 30mb seems to be the limit

O M G how big are the files then??? what res you doing them in, obviously higher the better, i guess if you dont mind, ill paypal you some money to put them on CD and mail them if poss, cant think of any other way of doing it.

do you have upload limits then?? never had a prob using that FTP server from other peoples for uploading.

pm me your paypal addy if you can do this (and dont mind).

Cheers.

atm theyre 500 mb each and thats at 1200 dpi as i might have already said...
i can easily go upto 4800 dpi though:eek: which i'd rather do, problem is that leaves me with an image occupying gigabytes of space... this of course is a problem with only 769mb ram.. im getting tempted to hand it over to the signwriter but want to get finished templates to them myself.. my computers being an absolute sod at the moment, somethings gotten into it again:( going to do a complete reinstall if it goes wrong again tonight, then i'll have the space and virtual memory to complete this gargantuan task:)

tbh i think itll be beyond a cd too unless you want some dropped resolution files, i dont have a dvd writer so thats out the window for now im afraid...

on the note of FTP that's because its nothing to do with ur computer or isp, its mine thats the problem... i've been through all the settings of my pc and theres nothing that'd cause any problems, the only thing left is the accursed tiscali!!

I got the cd this morning rich, thanks! Nice artwork, did you do that in photoshop?:D

I found out after making som mesurements that we have to use A3 photopapir:) the panel will not fit on a A4 paper:( that's a bugger.. I'm happy we have a A3 photo printer at my school:) hehe

umpkin 25-10-2006 19:37

1200 dpi would be enuf surly???? thats almost photo quality.

if you wouldnt mind i would have a copy on cd of the 1200dpi ones, i personally am not gonna notice that once behind the glass on my dash.

i can paypal you whatever you want for cd and your troubles, postage should be about 65p on a cd.

if you scan it at 2400dpi you will struggle to fit them on a DVD !!!!!:eek:

let me know

Dr Silvia 25-10-2006 19:42

the current plan is to end up with an outline of the nescessary bits as opposed to a full colour piece so a different style can be easy to achieve, also to facilitate internet transfer:) hopefully this will make them managable. as for 1200 dpi being fine, yes it might well be, but i'm a perfectionist if i can be=D bear with me.. this may take a few days to do yet

umpkin 25-10-2006 20:36

ok np m8, i am too, i was just thinking mainly bout the size of the pics, and transfer, i personally would prefer to start with the original scans, as the outlines may not suit once i learn how to use photoshop and paint shop pro X lol.

but as your doing us the favour and putting in the time, ill take whatever you are happy with.

this is a top idea, and if made right, could be the nice addons we want to keep the s12 up to date, as so to speak.

Dr Silvia 25-10-2006 20:49

well the only important thing is the positioning of everything, the colour different shapes and fonts can be applied easily enough from that, it'd be more work to remover the original colours each time i think:)
