MORE THOUGHTS
SIZE AND COMPRESSION
Here are the images that really sold me on this book.
Super simple images of different kinds of dogs with different shapes and no black outlines.
File Size
988 KB
Original size
16 x 23
Resolution 72
Visual Pop ink Pop Culture
These images are printed on the reverse side of the front cover. Note, repeats in color and design boxes but for the most part you can not see the repeat of the dogs. All dogs have decided shapes but all work is consistent and no one one dominates over another image.
JPEG AND SIZE TEST
The original image size out of the book was
6 by 10
Scanned 16.5 by 23 (72 dpi) changed to 12 by 6 (300 dpi)size 1.1 MB
time to upload image - under one minute
I had to play with color adjust to get it to look like the picture in the book. I cranked up the exposure and bought down the outset? The when I got it pretty close over all I had to select the dress and color replace to get it the correct red. Too much work!!
Understanding
Scans and Sizes

Why?
I keep looking at the tree silhouetted in the background. Since I've been working on forests I need some trees that clearly show environment. Note there is only one tree and ditto for the foreground element: Tree Branch. No black outlines anywhere give the picture freedom of color.
POP INK
This is a paint by number painting I got from the book "Fluffy Humpy Poopy Puppy". It's Charles Spencer Anderson's book in a series called POP INK Visual Pop Culture. Pop ink merges low art and high design into visual statement, removing them from their original environment renews everything in strange way.
I liked when I read Anderson, "In design, form and function are not opposing ideas. Form lends interest and beauty to the function. Function adds utility and meaning to the form. Good design is effective both aesthetically and functionally."

SCANS and SIZES

Here is the same image, now the dog is center and the background sky that I loved is the right color, red (althought the picture in the book is a brighter red!)
This one was saved using "save as" in Photoshop which brings up the save for web box and I chose Quality "high" (not max.). The file size is only 1 MB and it took less than a minute to upload.
Also I feel much more organized and at peace since I know what I did and what worked.
Original size 5 1/4 by 7 1/2
Both of these pictures oddly enough open larger in Blogger. Still can not figure why some do and some don't.

SCANS AND SIZES
Original Photoshop Size 5 1/4 by 7.5
I now went back to the original and pressed "save as" to save as a "jpeg" setting best as possible under settings. 1.2 MB. The upload time was longer than 30 seconds in fact it took over a minute which is ridiculous! Gave me some time to correct some type-os. Finally at 20 minutes it said "Can't Open Image". &%$#@!!!
Here is the same scan although I saved it as a Photoshop document. The file size is larger 14 MB. The reason for this test is to find out which scanned items open larger and which do not on Blogger.
Both of these seem to take a about three minutes or longer to upload. Blogger does not show you how long it take to upload which I find you have to kind of guess. Can you imagine if you guessed which freeway to take!
