We have always held the view that there is an additional income stream for commercial photographers in creating brochures, reports and stationery. This does bring in a need for good writing and copy-editing skills, but in the current financial climate you need to look to turn a penny from many different areas and potential clients out there might be looking for a less expensive turn-key operation for their publicity material!

Possible InDesign Workflow

1. Make a new document. In this case we have two A4 landscape pages as our double page spread and a 24 page total. We have set a 3mmbleed (consult your lab if printing 'off-site').
2. If you already have a Kuler swatch set as your colour theme, load the .ASE file into the Color Swatch panel.
3. This screen grab shows a basic two screen set-up. On the right, Adobe Bridge holds all the source files which have all been colour graded, sharpened and converted to JPEGs or TIFFs or PSD files. You might also sort them, grade and/or label them in Bridge if you have spent time organising your 'pictorial story thread'.
4. The size and position of each image and its bounding box. They are fully adjustable, including rotation, as many times as you choose, without any additional loss of quality. If you Alt-Double click an image from within InDesign it is opened in Photoshop where it may be adjusted or toned, etc. Then, when you save the file in Photoshop, the InDesign link is automatically updated.
5. Note that RAW files cannot be placed directly into InDesign.
6. The final operation is to export your InDesign project as a single, multi-page PDF at printing resolution.
