Instructions for downloading  high-resolution versions of these thumbnails:

 

Most images downloaded from the web are not detailed enough for print use. 
The high-res pictures on this web site are an exception!

Special note on resolution: 

Over the next few weeks and months, I will be gradually changing my digital image standards, scaling many of my reproducible pictures to 3000 pixels in 10 inches in the longest dimension (whether horizontal or vertical). This produces an average of 300 ppi on an  ã18-megabyte file,ä although I usually compress it using the JPEG method to 1 megabyte or less of actual disk space.  (This exceeds the Associated  Press long-dimension standard of 2000 pixels in 10 inches.)

The method approximates the 6 megapixel output of my principal digital camera. Most of my pictures when direct from the camera measure 2832 x 2128 pixels. This is equivalent to about 40 x 30 inches at 72 ppi,  14 x 10.5 inches at 200 ppi, or 9.5 x 7 inches at 300 ppi.

Until this conversion is accomplished, however, some reproducible pictures will remain at somewhat lower resolution, although still suitable for printing in all newspapers and most magazines.
  Instructions:
 

This may look complicated, but it's a snap after you do it once.  (Photo editors will be more accustomed to this than travel editors.)

  1. Click on the small image it to bring up the high-res version.  In some cases you may then see only a portion of a much-larger image on your screen. Use your horizontal and vertical sliders (scroll bars) if you want to check the rest of the image, (But  remember that a picture that does not look perfectly sharp in the enlargement will probably be just fine when printed at a smaller size'

  2. Then click on the larger image to display the "Save Picture As" choice. PC/Windows users can use the Right mouse button. Mac folks must click on the picture then choose "Save Image As." in a dialogue box.

  1. Either give it a new name or let the current name stand. In either case, continue to keep the picture as a JPEG, or ".jpg" image. And  you should be sure to notice what folder it is destined for.

  2. Click on "Save" to download.  This will take only a few seconds if you are on cable -- longer if you're using a telephone "dial up" line.

  3. Use your back button to return to the thumbnails page. (And hopefully choose an additional picture!)

  4. If you have any problem,  please phone or e-mail me. This is a relatively new system for sending pictures, and it has been working just fine, so far. Whether you use the pictures or not, I would be very  interested in any reaction to the system. Aloha.. Bob Bone. (808)261-1094, or travelwriter@robertbone.com

 

Although a picture may appear impossibly large when ready for  downloading, that is perfectly normal. When the image is brought up through a photo program, it will scale correctly on the art director's or photo editor's screen

Use your "back" arrow or button to return to the previous page. (Note that the two sample pictures above are not "clickable.")
