The pictures need to be in TIFF uncompressed, scan at a minimum of 266 dpi, also scan as "gray scale" not color. You should crop out any unnecessary parts of the pic or white space prior to sizing. If you could save as TIFF and put on a CD and mail too me would be good, if not email will be okay. I want the best quality possible so we will have a good book for Lamar County. Thanks so much for your interest and help. Barbara Woolbright Carruth
