Re: Using digital photos in technical doc

["McMARTIN, Robert" <rmcmarti -at- BAEA -dot- COM -dot- AU>]

Obviously said by someone who just bought a scanner.  We purchased a
High End digital camera which takes photos at 1600 x 1200 dpi for
incorporation in our manuals.
A lot easier and cheaper than film photography.  Also the problem with
confidential information we didn't want members of the public seeing
(Joe Bloggs in the PhotoMart Store).  Don't have to wait for the
pictures just click and incorporate.

Robert McMartin does not speak on behalf of British Aerospace
Australia and they couldn't agree more.
