sorry bout that, biggest pic we could get. notice how the close in shots are bigger because its a single mini. when she had to take a picture of the whole diorama then you set it tp print standards it gets very small. trust me if we woulda had bigger pics it would be nice and juicy like dirk stillers tea cup rescue.
as for her lighting, welcome to print! see my post on this, 2nd post on

for absracity:
yup comments sound pheasable. i can shrink the txt slightly and use more of that white space up. as long as things dont get to crowded its cool.
mini scale would work. probably wouldnt use up a full page explaining it, maybe a half page stuck in some free space at the begining just as scale size. i think reasoning would be we dont want to repeat in a art book what is common knowledge to collectors etc.
scale size next to minis sounds doable to. BUT i wouldnt dig just the overall line of minis scale but people actually measuring head to toe the mini in mm. that may be a prob for some specially if the minis were sold and for dioaramas etc. may work, but may be inconsistent in the book.
for print, this will be in the next years email requirements, just send the biggest pic you got and let me do the rest. its very confusing with rgb cmyk lab lol, tiffs jpeg eps, 96 72 144 300 dpi, i got in all sorts of stuff and i literally went over the pictures 3 times throughout to make sure they were all set right. if you can just send them as big as hell highest quality jpeg you can and ill change em all. i have to say between the tiffs and jpegs sent there was no noticable difference in print quality between pics taken with good cameras etc thats why alot of business are moving towards pdf\'s with jpegs for print.
thx for all the feedback, i think next years will shape up perfectly.
