Question How do I convert my digital filess to low res to submit to a client while keeping
the files hi res? How much should be charged for a high res file for publication.
What are some of the considerations?
Answer Photoshop has a great feature that will do a batch resizing for you. You can do it through Bridge as well and Bridge gives you many more options through image processing. You will want to save a version of the file, do not overwrite the original. If you are using some other software...or if you want to do it by hand, simply change the dpi to 72 and change the overall pixel dimensions and file size. You may also want to consider placing a watermark on the preview images. Photoshop also has the "save for web" feature which will do all the math for you and you can preview the image before you save it. The price is really difficult to gauge without more info. What type of business is it? What type of photograph is it? You can look at websites such as gettyimages or imagebank to gauge your prices.
