Hello All,
I've managed to "solve" my problem by downloading PPX9! Great pgm. Still don't know what the original problem. Thanks to all who responded with suggestions.
Re. Sandy.
Thanks for your input. My PPX4 file size, with 47 pages is only 13MB. I've purposefully kept my jpeg's to 1MB or less. Looks like my jpeg size and overall file size is not the problem. I'm convinced (nearly) that I have selected/not selected in PPX4.
Thank you folks for your replies. The pgm is indeed PPX4 and not PP4. Sorry about that.
Yes, I prefer to embed the photos as it gives me a proper understanding of the composition of the pages but at about the page 40 mark, the pgm starts linking - which I would consider as odd.
As it appears there is no answer/alternative, I will construct the book with the photo's linked instead of embedded, and when I convert to a pdf all will/should be well.
I'm still confused as to why the pgm should do this which makes me think I have got something not set correctly.
I'm building an 80 page book of photographs. All works well until I get to around page 40 and I am unable to add any further images. Does PP4 set a memory/file size limit or am I not selecting something in setup which would allow me to continue to add all 80 images? I've tried regular saving but that doesn't make any difference. Thanks
Thanks Kevin. All good ideas but that "Preset" adjustment which gives me differing image quality is still a mystery to me i.e. when should I choose a I.Q. lower than "best quality" and what would be the ideal quality for press printing?
I too noticed that converting to CMYK in Affinity Photo gives a cyan colour shift, so, yes, I will post the pdf with RGB.
I'm wanting to produce an A4 book of high quality photographs using PagePlus x4. I'm preparing the image pages in Affinity Photo but confused as to the quality of jpeg PP requires to give good print as AP can give me a file size anywhere between 7Mb and 250Kb for the same image, dependant upon the settings within AP. Is there a recommended jpeg file size for PP? I do understand that in printing for publishing the image quality requirement is not as high as for photographic printing, but not sure how 'low' I can make the jpeg's.
