Let's not get in a tiff over TIF (the pun is fully intended.)  The
professional digital photo people use TIF all the time and swear by it.
They also shoot digital images at the maximum resolution so they can get
really sharp results when they start manipulating the images in Photo
Shop.  Us poor peons who are more concerned about file size and storage
limitations and Internet work, will use JPEG (jpg) for all the right
reasons.  And don't let anybody throw their hands in the air and give
you a hard time about jpg because of it being compressed.  The
compression is controllable, variable, and a logical thing to do.  When
people start whining about file compression, tell them to take a good
hard look at all the compression that's going on in VHS and DVD.  It's
been there since the beginning, and it isn't going away.

Cecil,   I have been doing this  computer stuff for 20 years now. My
first 
hand scanner saved files in TIFF  format. since then I have moved on up
though 
lots od different file types but  have settled on Jpeg because that is
what 
almost all computer programmers are  using now they are small yet
powerful.  If 
you want to view them on your  computer only them stay away from huge
files as 
the only advantage is that they  use up more disk space.  If you want to
print 
16 x 20 pictures then go for  the large files but how many people do
that. I 
can't see any reason for the  average guy to use a megabyte file to save

pictures other than he just likes big  files.
