Lyon 1991 Percoll Poster | 20240731 • 20240808

20240808 – remastered poster : Following the first publication here last month (20240731) of the original 1991 MacDraw poster opened (converted) in LibreOffice Vanilla (1), I learned how to do some editing in the LibreOffice app to further restore poster layout details such as line spacing, and font style. An archive photo of another poster presentation in Pittsburgh in 1992 (that will be posted here soon) guided this restoration.

Current workflow :
1) opening the MacDraw II file in LibreOffice Vanilla
2) editing in in LibreOffice Vanilla , saving as LibreOffice Vanilla file (OpenDocument Drawing – extension odg).
3) opening the photo tiff image in the Mac’s Preview app, and copying the displayed image to the clipboard
4) pasting the clipboard image in the LibreOffice doc , and dragging to adjust size and location 5) exporting the file as PDF (image resolution 300 DPI ; PDF/A-1b ; PDF/UA). 6) Converting the PDF in the Preview app to TIFF 144 pixels/inch. 7) Adding caption , metadata etc with JPEG conversion in PhotoMill.

The 20240731 post now has this updated 20240808 – poster image.
