Seanb has kindly offered to scan and upload one of the Amsoft Software catalogues to the Wiki but needs some help. Can anyone who knows how it work lend a hand?

Amsoft Software Catalogues - Are they online? (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/general-discussion/amsoft-software-catalogues-are-they-online/new/#new)

It would be a great resource to have online so if someone could help and suggest file types and DPI settings as well that would be great.

I've scanned all the pages but I think 400mb and a resolution of over 10,000 by 14,000 per image aren't aceptable ;D

I'm sure I can find the right resolution and file size, probably, but I need to know where to upload it to or should I pm it to you if you know somewhere.

The catalog hosted on archive.org is 880x1238 JPG... Seems a good compromise

I'd keep the high res images safe and upload a 300dpi jpg version.

If you have the high res copy, please could you PM it to me as it would be a useful resource to have on-hand here. My own copy has long since fallen apart from over use.

Cheers.

How many images are these? What is the original size? I think that resolution is a serious overkill, but I don't know. Such a big size would be a pain in the arse to upload to the wiki, BUT we can do it through FTP. PHP will certainly die at these file sizes. Contact me and we can arrange something :)

CPC-Power has an archive that would be interested in any Material.

Seanb put the entire catalogue on Google docs, here: Amsoft Winter 85 86 Catalogue.pdf - Google Drive (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4sdF6D89t-PdTBET3FQVm1SRFk/view?usp=sharing)
