Denise,
Size is not the only consideration here. As Cathy says, tiff is non lossy
and great for archiving pictures for editing and jpg (not jpeg) for a
finished version for use in reports or web pages.
PDF is somewhat different and one really needs to consider how the pictures
will be
Cathy wrote
I save archive copy in TIF and then save often smaller version in JPG
to attach to Legacy.
I do exactly the same. I like to have a really good, high resolution
master copy of each photograph, but sometimes I want to take my whole
Legacy file to another computer to work on and
I agree on your TIFF/JPG comment.
Scan in TIFF. Then create a smaller JPG from that TIFF to keep in the folder
where you have Legacy link to.
In my view, scanning to PDF should only be used to email a copy of a
document to someone.

It sounds like the link between your PC and the server was dropped during

If your scanner won't scan several pages of a letter into one pdf file, you
can always scan it in as individual pdfs. Then use a free pdf editor such

Just as you can change a TIF to a JPG or 'print' a TIF to a PDF file, it
is perfectly possible to change a PDF or JPG file into a TIF.

Practically, Renee is also correct. Going from a compressed format (PDF, JPG

lost information and you essentially end up with the worst of both
Absolutely right, C.G. The issue was not whether it was
intelligent/useful to make such conversions (from something to TIF), but
simply whether it could be done.
