Re: What image type should I use for storing scanned images?

The choice is really, what works best for your needs/requirements,
but check this link, it should help a little bit.

I'm scanning BOL's and other handwritten forms.  Most of the scanning
systems I've seen always use TIFF, which is a pain because it requires
plugins for IE.

I was using JPEG, and the file sizes were around 400-500K.

I tried TIFF, and they are 3 times that size.

Is there a reason I should use TIFF anyway?

Thanks.
