Some time ago a few images of mine I took at a corporate function been used for a magazine about a specific person. They used it in a magazine for corporate portfolios of specific people.
Images were great and I had another image for an European and Trinidad magazine for publication.
I emailed an image of 5,7 meg to the printing company in JPEG. After the email reached the final graphics designer with them forward the image between six or seven times and the last one I was cc in it, I download to see the size.
A shocking 745 kb !!
How they managed to do was forwarded the emails via smartphones and then the editor emailed me and ask for the high res image.
My first reply was, give me the correct person's email who will work with it so the quality is not tampered with. When he replied with the correct email I sent it. Job done.
Strange that certain people with the job title graphic designer or editorial team leader don't even know how to forward an email with the full image size or first save the image to the hd and when forward it to attach the full size he saved.
This is not the first time I had to resend an image for publication in a magazine where this was the same issue.
Someone send me an email before and said I should have sent them a PDF file with the image so they can open it in Photoshop and save as a JPEG the size they needed.
Luckily I didn't as they as I think of they cannot even save the file first to the sever hard drive and send the link to the graphic editor for publication, they won't know what to do with a PDF file.
Had any of you people a similar problem or challenge like this before?
Any ex editors of magazines on this forum who can give any ideas what their training the people undergo to handle this?
