Picture This
Thanks (again) to my friend from California, I have a recipe for turning color images into woodcut graphics. I confess I got stopped about half way through the 25 step process because just the earliest steps--plus some find-then-fade edges and other tweaks--give me results approximating what I had in mind. I'll post some of these as I go.
What I don't know is all the details about how professional printers deal with grayscale and such. I know it's complicated, but I also know it can be done.
I'll need to settle on somebody to work with for printing (when-if the MS ever gets to that stage) and then they can walk me though getting images ready to plug into the text.

Wow.
You done good, very good.
Now create a script to automate the process and you'll have a custom PS "action".

I asked David Stoecklein, western photographer and publisher to look at your site (he'll need to rely on memory so hopefully will remember). His site is www.drsphoto.net. I noted that he does a variety of calendars...have you considered that venue as well?

Congrats on the graphic FX and restoration of your site to the living!

Very cool. Now if you can squeeze in some "medieval serfs" in the fields it will be downright haunting!

If you put your book into a PDF document and format it to the size you wish your printed book to be, the printers can print from the PDF. Lay out each page in the PDF, photos too, as you wish it to appear in your book and you kill two birds with one stone; you can offer the PDF on your website for download as well as being ready for the printer.
