Caveats aside, most scanners default to saving as .tif (compressed or uncompressed it is considered *lossless*). An original scan is generally an archive item, copies are then edited and saved to the format best suited to the final output. check out http://www.why-not.com/articles/formats.htm for info on graphic formats and http://www.scantips.com/ for just what it says and http://www.flatbed-scanner-review.org/index.html for more specifics feel free to email off list if you need more info good luck, Bruce g1notami at zoominternet.net
