Digital cameras save images as "72dpi" (it's a misnomer as it's really PPI and not DPI - DPI=dots per inch. because not only will you have to convert the color, you'll have to modify the "header" of the image, per se, for print. I'm very happy to hear you had the originals to work from - that makes things for you much easier. Well, what app will you be laying everything out to? That will determine what format you'll wanna use image-wise. Now, how is this being printed? Are you supplying a print-ready file? Just images and they do layout? PDF? Is this spot color or process color? RE: Masking / Tinting / Filtering Bell2550 (Programmer) Other formats do a more complex way of doing transparency via different types of masks. GIFs (which should only ever be used for the web and not for anything else) achieve this illusion by making *one color* "transparent." Now, you can give an illusion of something being oval/circle/other shapes, but it's technically an illusion since the bounding box of the object will always be a square or a rectangle. Therefore the only shape a bitmap can be is in some variation of a square item. So while it may look like you've "cropped" an image into an oval or square, it's not been cropped to that shape. Bitmaps can only be square/rectangles by their very nature. I think you're using some terminology wrong again here (sorry, not trying to give you grief - just trying to help you understand the process and be able to communicate issues better). In v8 you have to convert the image to greyscale first.THEN you can convert to duotone. Had to go run to someone else's PC that had such an old version on it.
