[Framers] File storage best practice

[Mike Wickham]

I prefer to keep graphics in a subfolder of the book folder. I create 
them in appropriate size, in original RGB profile, and at 300 dpi, as 
EPS. Keeping RGB is smaller than CMYK, with broader color gamut, and 300 
dpi is high resolution, suitable for print. But, before creating final 
output, I duplicate that original subfolder as backup, then run a script 
in Bridge or Photoshop on the original to either convert to CMYK for 
printing press (keeping 300 dpi), or run a script to resize to 96 dpi 
for online.

I feel that keeping the graphics in their own subfolder makes it easy to 
keep multiple versions, to swap in and out, depending on output 
destination. I would note that the various archiving scripts that are 
available all seem to want to automatically pull graphics from anywhere 
on the computer and place them in an images subfolder, anyway.
