what
do people think about saving my raw scans as LZW tiff's?I

on a CD?Also,
LZW is as you say lossless, it is just a more clever way of

No problem IME - I always send out TIFFs compressed in PS to clients if

Opinions differ on this, but IMO it's a bad idea to supply CMYK, since
converting to CMYK depends on knowing about the

The LZW compression will not save you much space because it depends on
