[FM Discuss] Optimizing images for printing

[Tomi Toivio]

Hi,

Does somebody have a procedure for optimizing manual images for printing?
What is the best file format? What is the best way to reduce the image size
without the quality being reduced? GIMP? Any guidelines for this?

Actually there should probably be a manual on how to use pictures on FLOSS
Manuals...

There have been some timeout errors when trying to publish books on the
Finnish site, after debugging this for a while it started to seem like the
web hosting organization had just changed timeout settings when they
updated the servers about a week ago. Now the timeout on our server is 120,
which means that usually the book publishing process gets a timeout when
trying to publish the PDF. Sometimes it manages to do it in less than 120
seconds and the process finishes without error. So the timeout settings
should be increased to at least 360 or more?
