Many thanks for your constructive replies folks, i will piece my next cover, book jacket together as you suggest.
The printers did insist on spine marks but of course if you get your outer crop/bleed marks correct it is obvioud where the spine should fall
OK, I am using CS 5 and indeed they add the crop (trim and bleed) automatically when you export it as long as those are ticked in the check box. When i create a cover/book jacket, i work out the sizes and then make this up as a one page document using 2 columns in the colume box and enter the spine width. This is all fine and dandy but it doesn't allow me to add printers marks to indicate where the spine is.
I am sure there is an ingenious way to do this!!
Right i have got somewhere, after i scan on my HP Scanjet 8300 i have the ability to crop the subject that i have scanned so i just crop to the picture that i require and send the file to a pictures folder.
After i have taken all the original scanned pages into Indesign i create a rectangle image frame over the original picture, then in swatches choose the paper option and it blanks out the original image. I then choose file, place and pick the descreened scanned image and then tick show import options and replace selected item, click OK and the image goes into the box.
I then adjust the image just to make sure it is positioned correctly and hey presto it works
Thanks for the tips, it gets the brain working again!!
Thanks for the confirmation and i appreciate your comments
