Hi Frank,
That might work OK with a small picture but a large plan of maybe 3ft
long
would be a differant story. I'm not sure how large the plan is but
pressume
it would be fairly big. I've photocopied books using reasonable light &
a
camera mounted on a tripod & come out with poor results. It would be
difficult to mount the camera ( wich would need lots of megapixels)
over
the centre of the plan & you'd probably end up with some sort of
perspective distortion. With the PDF format the end user can enlarge
& zoom in.

It only takes up a small amount of space. Using the JPEG format reduces clarity when it's shrunk that small but it goes through quickly.Here's a sample......The original photo was quite large when put into the paint program. It took up 4 computer screens. I then shrink it to 50% original size, change it to JPEG and save the new shrunken picture in a "send" folder.When I'm writing a "reply" to the mail list I click the right button on the mouse and then click on "insert picture"The pictures in "paint" pop up and I just double click on one in the "send" folder and it pops into the text mail page as a small picture.This is Dan's "picker" from Michigan.Frank D.
