Re: [LegacyUG] Which file is best for a 1-page written document?

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

Re: [LegacyUG] Which file is best for a 1-page written document?

Small correction, TIFF is actually a container file (basically like a filing cabinet). The images "containted" within the file can actually be lossless _OR_ lossy. Please reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_Image_File_Format#Flexible_options If you use TIFF (I do) and want lossle

Did I read here that you have to limit the size of your photos, source documents, etc., because the database can only hold so much? (That's an elegant sentence, isn't it?) Or did I make that up? I don't know where I would get that -- those things are linked, not stored in the actual database
