: You mentioned in a recent email that you prefer to receive

: filing graphic files that you have in your queue for incl
: usion in the registry? If so what is it? In the future I
: can name the files appropriately before sending and save

Thanks Mike, yes I am swamped at the moment. I have a backlog of update information and Pat Carry just donated a copy of the 4th Edition Directory (thanks Pat!) which is allowing me to refit some sections. The Corsair section is done and the A-26 section should be finished this weekend. I have sorted update submissions according to type and as I do a section I will incorporate the submissions at that time.

As for naming convensions, my system is rather simple:

type-serial-#.jpg

ie a26-4402390-1.jpg

Any specific information about the picture can be included in the e-mail.

Pictures are sized to 8 inches wide at 72 dpi (vertical size does not matter.

Thanks for asking, the less steps I have to take the faster it is.

Unfortunately only a 1/4 of my available time is done on a computer that can handle photoshop so any speed increase is welcome.
