But there was a deadline to finish the first beta of the cleaned-up text, so there was no time to have this done at DP.
this text would fly through d.p. in a matter of hours...
Well, yes, once it's been put in the queue. Anyone here from DP care to comment on typical times for a book to be proofed in the DP system? (I would have been happy to contribute to the post-processing markup stage.) (Btw, I finished the XHTML before I even finished the scanning, so it would have been delayed in the DP system anyway. But yet, I would have preferred the job be done in the DP system. At this stage it probably won't fit into their work flow.)
Unfortunately, since the 120-dpi scans are antialiased greyscale (while the 600 dpi are bitonal), the size difference is surprisingly not that different. I updated the My Antonio index page to include downloading all the 120-dpi scans in a ZIP file, which is still over 30 megs in size:
the .pngs on the website would seem to be much smaller. roughly 400 of those, at about 20k each, would be 8 megs. is my arithmetic wrong? or am i missing something?
Most of the PNGs are in the 70-80k range (I just rechecked at the online site to make sure something weird didn't happen.) So the 30+ MBytes for the 400+ scans at 120 dpi greyscale/antialiased is about right. Let me know if you want me to snail-mail the scans on CD-ROM. Jon
