Hi Tom!
In my opinion plain TIFF would be the format of choice for all the
criteria mentioned.
Using none of the features supported by non-ancient versions of
Photoshop like i.e. multi layers and omitting any kind of compression
you should be fine for the forseeable future.

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!
