I finally broke down and purchased an HP photosmart scanner. I
have a few hundred slides, that I would like to archive onto CD's.
The photosmart came with software that allows saving the files in
various formats, including tif, gif, bmp, pcx, png, fpx, jpg, and tga.
Obviously, the size of file varies. The Tiff files are about 17 MB with
the maximum resolution, for example. Since I don't want to "mess"
with each and every one of these slides now - but simply archive
them -can anyone recommend a good format that would both be
good for future digital darkroom work, as well as for archival
purposes? Is photoshop essential for the initial archiving (I only have
a very very old verson)? Also, any general advice on how best to go
about this process would be appreciated.
Thanks, Benson
