the larger image is 436 x 654 pixels - or 6.056" x 9.083" at 72ppi -- and the smaller image is only 117 x 174 pixels - or 1.625" x 2.417" at 72 ppi

here i have the 'should diplay as an inch' image that i inserted using "large"


SIZE matters ! - that is, when is an inch an inch - if i scan a ruler, and then display the image of the ruler on the screen, will an inch measure as an inch ? on my laptop, the image on the the top displays at 100% in Photoshop, but the 145% enlargement "inch" measures correctly when i hold a ruler up to my screen, but neither are correct in this blog...

Anyway, thanks to my friend at PDF Snake I have finally learned how to use the Acrobat Imposition Plug-in and perform a "Step and Repeat, Flip" imposition - check out my step by step procdure by clicking over the link. Here is a small movie that shows what it does...

Well, here again, I am trying to push on the fence and walls of what can be done in a Blog, or at least, on Blogger. So, here, I have link to a small Flash file using Camtasia that shows how to use our 'not yet released" ELAN TABS application - hopefully, it works !

I must say i am not happy that the Blogger software does not enable me to 'play' my gif at 100% size - it scales it into a window - of course, you can click on it and it then lets the gif play at normal size...

okay, well now - this is MUCH better...

Instead of actually placing the image into the blog (which the blogger software somehow 'converts' it and then places it there) If I link to the animated gif that happens to exsist somewhere else, well, then it "plays" properly...

The image actually lives here, but it should play fine (that is, animate) above...

Today is Tuesday, raining here. Cleaned my garage, changed out the toilet roll dispencers and shaved my head. Sintilating stuff, for sure. Saw this amazing Apple OSX on Windows site, sweet stuff. Also a fan of Gradual Software. Have been working with ELIP, our new OCR application, and we have a lot of interested customers from the FOSE show we attended. I am also working a new version of ELAN Proofer Suite that descreens images - nice!
