This is excellent, Lauren! Sehr gut.
Similar documentation can't never hurt when exhanging images in a
graphics chain.
I appreciated the long post ;-)

Include a delivery memo. An example of one photographer's contains the
following info:
The file(s) is/are: 8-Bit, Uncompressed, RGB, TIF files sized as
noted above
with an embedded Color Space Adobe RGB 1998. If you use a different
color
space, please ensure you "convert" color space in Photoshop rather than
"discard." The colors have been maintained since creation in a
color-calibrated Apple Mac G4/G5 environment here.
Note that we typically employ a two stage sharpening process, (1)
some creative
sharpening perhaps to eyes, eyebrows, lips and teeth or some overall
edge
sharpening, and (2) sharpening you or your pre-press house would do in
the
production process.
Some light edge sharpening has been done to this image. Please size
the files
and sharpen as you and/or Pre-Press would normally do for production.
So far I have found that a few photographers like to deliver cmyk
images,
and I have given them my conversion profile, but some have seen the
conversion and run screaming in the other direction. I've even given
them
some correction "tips", but this also failed to please them. The art
director is ready to tell everyone to shoot to film, because digital is
costing him more in proofing and color adjustment than scanning and
proofing.
In my environment, I'd prefer to get RGB tif files, Adobe RGB 1998
profile,
8-bit uninterpolated images. It's going to be difficult to control the
printed quality of your images without being on the prepress end, and
it's
going to be difficult to control what quality images come to me if we
don't
communicate these things to the photographer.
Apologies for the long post, but it is so pertinent and every single
photographer I spoke to was excited about this greater exchange of
information, and the willingness of a prepress person to address the
issues.
