Images e-mailed to publisher for preparation of ad by publisher may be sent as RGB images. Publisher will convert to CMYK color mode. Send largest format possible of images. Do not crop images. Publisher will crop and/or color correct if necessary. If low resolution and small image size are sent to Publisher, Publisher will not be responsible for final quality of images reproduced in magazine. Images taken from any website or off MLS are generally at a low resolution & usually do not convert well to our magazine format; therefore, quality is usually compromised.

Documents prepared in Microsoft Word with images embedded may be sent to Publisher for general layout suggestions, but images must be sent separately as JPEG or TIFF attachments!!  Ads prepared by advertiser in Microsoft Word are not considered Camera Ready, and must be rebuilt by Publisher.

NOTE: Any material sent to publisher on a CD must be Macintosh compatible. If the CD is formatted for Windows, publisher will not be able to open the CD & extract the contents.  No Publisher Documents can be accepted. Publisher documents are not Macintosh compatible.
