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
Opening jpg's does not cause a loss in picture quality. Only if they're
repeatedly edited.

be lossless _OR_ lossy. Please reference:

Has anyone found that using .jpg or .tiff or another format is best
for attaching a scanned 1-page written document to a Source? I know
these will open in any photo program so most people will be able to

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
