Re: (rshsdepot) Question on reproducing photos

You have to be careful about what format you use for scanning.  The most 
popular is .JPG.   That format uses a compression algorithm to make the 
files smaller but that also means that you could lose some of the image 
definition each time you work on the file.  My publisher specifies .TIF 
files which don't use the compression.  The files are bigger but you don't 
lose part of the image each time you do some work.
