InDesign export to JPG then into BookSmart....
Book Design and Imaging

Tony,

I agree that text looks better (soft proof) when exporting to PNG with Photoshop instead of JPG. When You imported the full bleed PNG-pages in BookSmart did it actually upload the original PNG-files or did the program "downgrade" them to JPG’s before uploading?

Cheers, Richard

Re-compressing jpg's for upload?
BookSmart

Hi,

I’ve created 117 8×10 inch pages in InDesign and then exported them as 300dpi high-quality jpg’s of 2370×3000 pixels. Next I placed the 117 InDesign images/pages in an 8×10 inch portrait book with the BookSMart software. Lastly I succesfully uploaded the entire book. To my surpise only about 170MB was transferred during the upload although my 117 exported InDesign pages are about 450MB. 

What happened? Does the software re-compress these 300dpi jpg’s for the upload? The size of the ".original" files in the library are about 450MB as well.

And secondly, where can I find the "altered" images that are finally uploaded?

Thanks in advance,

Richard
