Depends on what the file will be doing. JPG files are lossy files, so they lose some detail every time they're opened and then saved. Their benefit is small file sizes (hence why they're almost the standard in digital cameras). TIFF are lossless files, which retain their total information even

: [LegacyUG] Which file is best for a 1-page written document? I would think the important thing is check the saved copy to see that you have not lost any detail.
