Image File Formats
_______________________________
The image files on this ArtGear CD ROM are stored in these resolutions:
High Resolution (approx. 37 MB)
High resolution files are 300 dots/pixels per inch. These images are ideal for high resolution reproduction and have a size of 12" x 12", allowing for full page reproduction at 150 lpi.
Medium Resolution (approx. 9 MB)
Medium resolution files are 300 dots/pixels per inch and have a size of 6" x 6". These images are ideal for smaller, high resolution layouts, full screen multimedia and comps.
Low Resolution (approx. 0.5 MB)
Low resolution files are 72 dots/pixels per inch images of the same size as the medium resolution images. They are best suited for multi-media presentations, "for position only" placement in layouts, and on-screen previews.

In all cases, the images have been saved at maximum quality, ensuring files that reproduce well at high resolutions. We recommend that you save the JPEG files as TIFF files before working on them.
