Re: RE: tifs at 240 dpi worth redoing?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I would add that whatever specs you provide your vendor about your immediate 
needs, always obtain and RETAIN the original file in its native format, because 
as certain as death and taxes is the likelihood that someday you will need that 
image again, and in some other form than the one you just specified.  I wish I 
had a buck for every time I discovered that some previous writer or illustrator 
had created the very graphic I needed, but ended up having to spend hours 
recreating it from scratch because it had only been archived in a form that was 
unusable for my current project.  Having to redraw a vector graphic because 
someone only saved it in raster format is an annoying timewaster; having to hire 
another photographer and restage a photo shoot could potentially be a 
budget-busting showstopper.
