Re: Scanning Tips



I agree. Whilst .tiff as lostless and can give higher quality, you pay
heavily for that in file size and on network download. .jpeg does have
some loss (depending on how that loss is set), but that format is much
much smaller and can be used on any platform by most any editor (including
photoshop) or even directly on the WWW.
