Responsibilities of a coder and designer?

Question

Design

My colleague and I had a problem, he sent me a layout for layout and an archive with pictures. Layout norms, you can work. Pictures are not processed at all, weigh 205mb. and that's it for the LP. I explain to him that it is his duty as a designer to give me everything ready for me to typeset, including pictures.
Question to the knowledgeable and experienced, is my position correct, or is the processing of the received material the task of the layout designer?

Answer 1

The task of the typesetter is to typeset. Preparing images is the responsibility of the designer.

Answer 2

Disagree. Preparing pictures for the web is the layout designer's task.
Since only the layout designer knows the format, the desired weight, the desired quality, size.
The designer can reduce, crop, fit "in his own way" and as a result, you will constantly turn to him for source codes.
And the designer did his job perfectly, providing 200 meters of pictures.
Very often, a designer draws a layout for a width of 1200 pixels, with a small margin, for example, 200 pixels.
And all pictures are reduced to 1600 pixels.
But in fact on the site we use pictures from 2000 pixels.
And in the end, you still have to contact the designer for the source code.

Answer 3

Or maybe your designer assumed that image processing would be somehow automated on the site according to some kind of template. Well, this is if, for example, there are some pictures for the gallery and you need to provide for the fact that the customer will shove all sorts of different pictures.

Answer 4

To run pictures through the script, no special knowledge is required. The work of a designer is many times more expensive than a layout designer, so this should be done by a layout designer or content manager.
