HI Team,

Book goes to the printer on Monday. The actual disc went to the printer three weeks ago but I got the news that the 3000+ pics were missing from the pages. I know enough about Photoshop that you don't change the name or description of an image otherwise the computer doesn't recognise it. Last year I updated my computer and the store guy showed me a feature called "Sharpen More" . I tested it on a new coins and banknotes and I couldn't believe how much sharper many of tyne images looked . With a few more tweaks with brightness and toning adjustments, the images were sensational. I decided to spend a few months updating all the pics. I was careful not to change the description or even more the images around the file. Despite everyone's advice that all would be good, even the subtle changes were enough for the computer to think every image was new. There has been a lot of midnight oil, in-between countless calls, emails etc, to relink all the pics. Bigest problem was when I tried to relink the polymer banknotes. I got a message that due to counterfeit issues I had to get permission to use the images. Easy done but still time I needed to finish the book.
SAS I write this I have 80 pics to go so hope to finish the process over the weekend. After that I hope I don't have to look at the image of a coin for a few months.

I appreciate all the interest and support the 22nd is attracting. I've done a mile of work to expand the information, make the layout easier to read and include as many of the suggestions and corrections members of the forum and others have suggested.

The book is being printed in Canberra and the only possible problems we might have relates to really cold weather s- As we have having. This can slows down the ink drying process or affect the temperature of the
glue used to bind the book
Anyway barring a low flying pink elephant crashing into the building in coming days, the book should be on the streets between July 10th and 15th.
Will keep you posted.

Regards to all

Greg

Tell you what Robbiegal,

If you drive a truck and will be heading south you could pick up a couple of pallets. LOL
