We're getting questions from a few people asking what the difference is between the PREMIUM and the LITE Editions of MRH, and if the content is different?

1. The content is the same
The PREMIUM Edition has the same text, the same images, and the same media, but it's all embedded in the download instead of on the internet.

2. Image quality is higher in the PREMIUM Edition
The PREMIUM Edition images are 150 DPI and have only mild compression applied. The LITE Edition images are 72 DPI and have more compression applied.

What this means is you can zoom into the images in the PREMIUM Edition up to 200% and they hold up. For example, the prototype photos in the Hoppers article benefit greatly from this feature. You can zoom in to the photos, see more details, and study them more closely than you ever could a print publication's photos.

If you zoom into the photos on the LITE Edition, they pixelate and show compression artifacts. The photos look fine at normal screen resolution, but they don't hold up when you zoom in on the LITE Edition.

3. The rich media is the same in both editions
The videos and 3D Click-n-spins are the same in both editions. In the LITE Edition, the media is on the internet and is generally available in two different formats for maximum compatibility.
