"so they are going to be a CD product? 80 pics at 6megapixel 17mb each, ouch what is that 1400mb?" Nice catch. Actually, Kodak has a product, it's a free download (all the info and instructions are in the readme)that artist will need to grab that takes what's on the cd, a specially compressed version of the image that gets it down to 5.2mb, and blows it out to the full sized 17mb file. I know it sounds crazy and like it would effect the quality, but it doesn't. It's a digital photography industry standard. I guess the original file is a compressed tiff and the kodak software creates an uncompressed tiff for you to work with on your hard drive. Xena, I see where you're going with this. I plan to make the ProModel Texture Source series an exclusive product at Rosity. Clint has put some energy into helping me concept this product and shape it's marketing. So I feel obliged to develop this line for RMP. However, if this sells like gang buster, you bet your boots, I'll try something similar at the other store where I market, just not this same series. In other words, I wouldn't sell a models images here and then relabel it and sell it elsewhere. It would have to be a seperate model/shoot and a different brand probably. You know that's not all required of me, it just feels like the right way to approach it. I suppose it would be possible to be non exclusive, but at this point while I'm forking out the overhead to get these out, I want to make sure I can make it back, otherwise the line won't go very far. I'm getting sleepy. Hope that makes sense. Regards, Brent
