The text for my book is ready, time to get the pictures in order. I use about 22 pictures and wonder how much I should standardize the proportions, file size and resolution (the same as DPI?).

The FILE-SIZE is between 8 kB (clipart) to 300 kB (JPG).

The PROPORTIONS vary. The pictures come from here and there, are compressed / resized without any clearer goal than to fit approximately into the 590 pixels wide x 750 pixels high-mold. (I don´t remember where I found those numbers.)

This is where I am most unsure. Should I try to have all or most pictures in the same size? Or are the following variations okay?

560 x 190
250 x 500
294 x 486
470 x 234
343 x 250
440 x 315
500 x 375
357 x 478
274 x 600
310 x 541
454 x 481
350 x 350
600 x 800
520 x 390
341 x 600
300 x 619
600 x 395
600 x 339
399 x 600
510 x 700
640 x 467

As to RESOLUTION, should I try to have the same with every picture? The majority are 150 x 150, a few 96 x 96, and there´s 73 x 73 for simple clipart.

Did I forget something important?
