Hi. I still use a film 35 mm SLR to take most of my "real" pictures, and then scan them into my computer using Xsane and edit them use Gimp.
I would like to start archiving these images in a format that adheres to the following requirements: * Fidelity - The higher the better. I would like the images to be of a high enough quality where they could be easily used to create a clear 8 x 10. I realize that other factors affect the clearness of a large image (such as film speed and such). File size isn't a factor. * Compatibility - I would like the freedom of being able to send my images to multiple developing companies and have them all be able to use the image. What's a good standard format that most "real" developing companies accept? * Bitrot - I would like to use a format that will probably be around for a while. I know that no format is completely future-proof, but I don't want to convert these images more than once every couple of decades if possible. Thanks in advance for any help!
