ESV Study Notes

I have a question about the ESV Study notes. Since I have the ESV Bible as part of the collection, if I purchase the study notes are they integrated in such a way that it would be the same as if I purchased the ESV study bible package.

I would prefer not to have to flip over to the ESV Study notes as a separate reference if possible.

You would have the complete package. Like many similar Logos resources, they are separate from one another. They link together to form a whole.

That is how they were intended to be purchased - if you already had the ESV, then you only have to buy the Study Notes. Otherwise, purchase the combination package.

I ordered the esv study notes.

Many of the graphics and timelines are almost illegible even when I use OS X zoom feature.

Some graphics are good, but many are not even legible text it appears that the formatting is low qualitiy.

Has anyone else experience this.

Here are a couple of examples, The last one should be a beautiful map of the temple with notes.

It is not usable at all - This is one of the reasons I purchased this resource to begin with

Can tech support please comment on this . Thanks

I can't offer much encouragement here. People have mentioned the unexpectedly low resolution of the graphics in the ESV Study Bible before (e.g., here and here), and we haven't heard back from Logos whether they plan to do anything about it. The resolution is no better in the ESV SB online on Crossway's website. Surely higher resolution images must be available, though, as the print edition of the ESV has nice crisp images. But perhaps they decided to make a trade-off between resolution and file size. The files would have to be enormous for all the images to be twice as high resolution as they are.

You can improve it slightly by right-clicking on the image, choosing Image from the right side of the menu, then Save As a higher resolution graphics file format (PNG or TIFF). It won't improve on the native resolution that's embedded in the resource but it will be slightly better than what you can see on the screen within Logos (even than when you've got it zoomed in OS X, I presume, though I don't know the Mac platform at all). For example, on that last image, here is the PNG file I exported (click to see full sized; it's still a bit fuzzy, but at least all the text is readable):

It's inconvenient to have to export, but if you wanted to use the graphic in some presentation or something, this would be the way to go.

Larry,

Sort of Off-Topic, but i posted lists of all the Charts & Maps in the ESV Study Bible which you can add to a Note file and use with your ESVSB.

Charts

Maps (instructions on adding as a note , but use the updated file link)

Rosie and Steve, thanks for the tips and pointers.

The resolution with Rosie's tip does help enough to get by -

Thanks

I noticed today that new resources are coming down to me and it appears to be the ESV Study Bible -

Is there a link I referenced to find out what has been changed/updated when this type of update occurs.

It would be nice to know ahead of time these things are coming down and what potentially to look for.

Thanks

The technique of saving to a png works well.

I believe their could be an improvement in the rendering software for this book, since the resoultion is better after saving, which leads me to conjecture that part of the solution could be inline for the reading mode.

@tech support - Any comments on this possible short term improvement?

I could bet a fair amount that the person who draw that map has never been to Jerusalem. The topography is completely totally wrong! He/she's put the Kidron Valley where the City of David should be, and a slope where the Tyropoeon Valley should be.
