You can rest assured that they do not want the jpegs at 72dpi. We're
not talking about web publishing here. They want jpegs because they
don't fill up the mailbox. Even my stock house wants maximum quality
jpegs. Just to save room on the server. I probide 360 dpi, 50 meg jpegs
for the stock house. If they sell one, they convert it to tiff.
Magazines must have at least a 10 meg file for publication on paper.

If they want JPEG images they probably want them at 72ppi. An 8x10 at
72ppi is not a large file. It seems small, I would think the thing to
do is clarify that with the magazine.
As to the size of the print on the screen in Photoshop, under
<Edit><Preferences><Units & Rulers> there is a <New Document Preset
Resolutions> section. Set <Screen Resolution> to a value that will
display a <Print Size> image actual size. On my monitor that is 96ppi
at 1280x1024 and 112ppi at 1600x1200. You can set rulers on and
measure that they match a physical ruler. It may take a bit of trial
and error. This has nothing to do with the size of the print from the
printer but only the size on the screen I like my print sized monitor
image to match theactual printed image.

I've got a few pics that are going to a magazine. They are now
4000ppi PSD
or TIFF files of about 130mb in size. The magazine wants 5x7 or 8x10
sized
JPEG files. What would be the ideal ppi for something like this - the
magazine is one of those weekend supplements for a newspaper. Also,
when
I've resized the photos and looked at them @ print size in PS, they
seem to
be smaller than the dimensions indicate. Can someone explain that to
me.
I've never done this magazine/newspaper thing before in quite this
way -
submitting the pix via email.
