[QUOTE="MODAT7, post: 255721, member: 13649"] I only know a little. It depends on what you're saving into the art book and how you want to display and distribute it. Right now your question is kinda vague. It's like saying you need a car, but you're not describing your driving habits (short, long, heavy hauling?)... PDF sucks for photographic type images. It will be unnecessarily large and the mediocre image compressor will smash the details out of the images. If you're doing photographs, you could use a simple WEBP+web page for showing. JPEG is a very old format and only recommended for compatibility reasons. Same goes for lossless PNG's. PDF does work reasonably well for vector graphics. You could also use a compressed SVG format. Modern web browsers should be able to display these files well enough. They're also long time standards. The simplest form of image consolidation and grouping is just a directory with well named image files. This won't rely on any proprietary program and can easily be zip'd up for transmitting and archival. (Most of the "fancy" art book programs can easily import these images for display.) Use common codecs and you won't have to worry about compatibility for decades to come. This is what I do for my picture collections. [/QUOTE]
