Hi Alex,

I think I've missed something here, listening to the tone of your message. 
As far as I could tell the discussion was about RGB-->CMYK conversion, not 
about the resolution of images, right? As far as I'm concerned you've made 
a very valid point to say that we need to deliver rendered images on a 
standard, high resolution. I don't think anyone here will discuss that. 
What still needs to be decided though is *what* a good resolution for that 
would be, but I'll leave that up to the people with DTP experience (but 
please keep in mind that we have to distribute those images through CVS as 
well!)

The only thing that we would have to figure out is how to automate 
downsampling of the images for web/pdf publication but there are very 
convenient tools like ImageMagick for that..

Cheers,

Bart
