New Zealand Completed Requests / Thames Hospital History and 150th Reunion Nov 2018
« on: Thursday 17 August 17 05:05 BST (UK)  »
Hoping I can share here about the Thames Hospital 150th Anniversary & Reunion 2-3 November 2018. While wanting to write a book on the history of the hospital we want to alert past staff and encourage contributions of stories for the book. Staff Memories of working at the hospital. Please can you let anyone you know who was connected with the hospital.

If you had an ancestor that worked at Thames Hospital you may have some old photographs or stories that could also be added or displayed on the weekend.
Many thanks
Althea

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: WW1 Digitisation please Wellington

Yes I see the two files. Another example Cora Beattie Anderson, she used to have only one file and now there are two more. The second one digitised a
Has full record, service etc which the first batch missed. Many men are like this they they have a second file that is full of territorial service and extra papers correspondence that is not in their main file that was first digitised.

Technical Help / Re: Converting PDFs with rgb images to cmyk for printer
« on: Friday 16 June 17 19:00 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for replies,
Place jpg photos in word docs, they are local history booklets.
Then save as PDFs for the printer.
Quality is so bad on proof I usually have to go back and ultra lighten each image.
The printer suggested I should have all my photos saved as cmyk format not rgb, I tried this but it didn't make any difference, just very time consuming!

Trying to get PDFs files to print in better colours. I have used rgb images as that's all word docs can handle. But then when printed by commercial printer they are terrible quality.
The printer say they convert the file but still looks bad.
Maybe I need to work in publisher?

Technical Help / Converting PDFs with rgb images to cmyk for printer
« on: Friday 16 June 17 08:05 BST (UK)  »
Has anyone used any free programmes that will convert images to cmyk format.
I was going to change each image before placing it in word doc, but searching internet it says word will save as rgb format anyway,

If I get docs printed as they are the colours are dark and generally bland.
Thanks
