Help needed for Hippeastrum book
Jane McGary (Sun, 17 Jun 2018 12:52:24 PDT)

Hello,

I'm writing this in the morning, when I can be calmer about the subject
than I felt last night. As mentioned before, PBS is going to publish, at
least online, the monograph "Hippeastrum in Bolivia." The authors have,
however, submitted the numerous photos in a format that I had to
download from the cloud (succeeded, I think), and it turned out to be in
the .rar compressed format, which I could not deal with. Nhu Nguyen
kindly extracted some of the photos for me, but the result is, according
to the woman who is going to lay out the pdf, "too tiny." Whatever that
exactly means. I'm putting out a desperate plea for someone reading this
who is familiar with coping with such matters. The downloaded folder is
150 MB, too large for me to email, so I will have to burn it on a CD or
DVD and send it to you by postal mail. Don't even ask about having it
put on the cloud! And I can't send it directly to the designer, because
her new computer does not have a CD/DVD drive "because they must have
thought nobody needed one now." Whoever deals with this can communicate
directly with her and may be able to send things via a cloud site, which
I can't do.

Please, if you can help us get these photos out of their format into
jpgs of good resolution, write to me soon!

I WILL PAY YOU TO DO THIS WORK.

In hope,

Jane McGary
