Double spread

Question

Is this how to tell a client that each PDF with picture on it I sent her covers a double spread the album they will get with their photos

How would you clarify this
Each PDF layout covers 2 pages so each PDF is not a single page but a double spread. I sent you 40 PDF layouts which means you will have an album with 80 pages not 40.

Is this sentence correct?
PDF with picture on it I sent her covers a double spread the album they will get with their photos

Thanks

I would say:
Each PDF displays a double spread of two pages. Sending you 40 PDF layouts will provide you with an 80-page album.

Is this sentence correct?
PDF with picture on it I sent her covers a double spread the album they will get with their photos
Sorry, this is not clear.
I think you want to say this:
Each PDF picture I sent her covers two pages (a double spread) of the album they will get with their photos.

Does this help?

Doesn't double spread mean 2 pages? why the repetition?
displays a double spread of two pages

This was also in the email, which would you say is correct, are all correct for an email?

I'll give you the DVD with which you can do whatever you want.
I'll give you the DVD that you can do with what you please.
I'll give you the DVD that you can do with whatever you want.

Thank you

Yes, a double spread usually means two (facing) pages. However, the reader may not know that, so the repetition explains the term.

I would pick some variation of the first sentence. "the DVD that you can do with" suggests there is another DVD that you cannot do with.

My preferred wording: I'll give you the DVD and you can do whatever you want with it.

Isn't 1 a vatiation of 2? Is 2 correct? Is 1 grammatical as well?
1 I'll give you the DVD that you can do with whatevet you want.

2 I'll give you the DVD that you can do whatevet you want with.

Can an I ask you something please, I am trying to find the right word for the blank could you tell me what you think. I am asking because you are a Native American speaker and I would appreciate you answer.

I was in a dim lit room and attempted to film my baby in his crib when I realized that the camera could make anything out because it was too dark. Would you say "good" in the blank or would something a little more descriptive be better? I can't seem to find a word? I wish that the camera lens was as ____ as my eye sight. My eyes could see what was going on I the room but not th camera. Would it be correct to say "camera couldn't make anything out in the dark"? Is it natural to say make out when talking of a camera?

thank you

#2 and #3 are variations of each other (using "that"). #1 (using "which") is different than the other two. Again, all three are awkwardly expressed. So I would reword it as I suggested.

As to your fill-in-the-blank sentence, "good" might work. However, I would probably say:
I wish that the camera lens was as sensitive as my eyesight. (or: effective).

I would not use "make out" for an inanimate object.
Perhaps you could say:
The camera could not register anything in the dark room. (Or: view)

Also, a few corrections:
I was in a dimly lit room and attempted to film my baby in his crib when I realized that the camera could not pick up anything because it was too dark.

Okay?
