Creating Magazine Layout Photo Packages
Magazine art directors prepare photo packages for editorial layouts with images at specific dimensions, color profiles, and resolutions required by the printing press. Each issue may process hundreds of images.
Workflow
- Select images from the photo shoot or stock libraries
- Use the Image Cropper to create compositions matching the layout grid
- Use the Image Resizer to ensure all images meet 300 DPI at print dimensions
- Use the Image Converter to save in the print workflow's required format (TIFF or EPS)
- Use the Image Compressor for proofing versions sent to editors
- Package final images for the print production team
