<P>

Thanks for all the feedback, although I have to admit I'm a bit
|
|
<BR>
|
|
overwhelmed.

|

|

<P>Jan Steinman <<A HREF="mailto:Jan@Bytesmiths.com?Subject=Re:%20"Standard"%20or%20"best"%20image%20format?&In-Reply-To=<80k8gve8n1.fsf@gbr.newt.com>">Jan@Bytesmiths.com</A>> writes:

<P> No chance. I do not consider proprietary, de-facto "standards" to be

standard, *especially* if they were written by Microsoft. Give me

something that has been written by the IETF or some other standards

|
|
<P> Thanks, that was the most useful bit of information I heard.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P> Basically, I'm scanning a bunch of slides and burning CDs. I'll be
|
|
<BR>
|
|
(later) processing the scans with the GIMP and other software on
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Linux. I'm making copies of the CDs for a friend who probably uses
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Photoshop on Windows, and someday I may wish to give the images to a
|
|
<BR>
|
|
graphics professional.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P> I may be using the term "raw" incorrectly--I just mean that that the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
images have not gone through any laborious post-processing after
|
|
<BR>
|
|
scanning. I am using an auto-adjust button and tweaking the contrast
|
|
<BR>
|
|
in Xsane which performs the scans though.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P> OK, so I should use TIFF. Now, on to compression.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P> Xsane, via libtiff I'd imagine, provides several compression
|
|
<BR>
|
|
schemes: JPEG DCT, and something called "pack bits". Is the JPEG DCT
|
|
<BR>
|
|
compression LZT in sheep's clothing or is this something I could use
|
|
<BR>
|
|
that would be universally accepted?
|
|
<BR>
