Images, Photos, and Screen Captures
Color
If you
are using color in your files, contact your Author
Representative who can give you additional guidelines
for setting up color in your files. We can produce
black-and-white books from color images, but there
are things that we need to discuss.
Art
& Images
Most
scanners produce very acceptable images - when
scanning, please make sure to scan your art to
the final size you would like it placed at in
your book (note this is not the trim size of your
book). If we have to resize art here at God's
Word you may be charged an additional fee.
All art
should be at a resolution of at least 300 dpi
(dots per inch); screen shots can be at monitor
resolution (72 dpi).
Scans
should be produced as 'grayscale' unless you are
producing a full-color book.
Image
files should be saved as JPG, TIFF or EPS.

Art
The following
software packages will produce excellent quality
art files. Regardless of which software package
you use, submit sample files early for testing.
If you would like to use a package not on this
list, contact your Author Representative.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid using PowerPoint and Microsoft Word’s
art tools. These tools do not produce usable files.
The following
software packages produce acceptable art
1. Adobe
Illustrator from Adobe is the preferred software
for producing high-quality printable art.
2. Visio 2000 from Microsoft
3. CorelDraw from Corel
4. Adobe Photoshop
IMPORTANT: Never embed your
art in another program. Link the .eps files to
the layout program by reference instead. Always
supply the native files along with .eps files
and a printout.
