Re: OT Vista Blues

Thanks. Was sort of kidding, actually, though in general I don't care to get
into the details of formats. My broader point was that there's no convincing
reason to use Vista unless forced to, and as long as you re-opened the
issue, and Peter has not responded, what IS the big deal with Vista and TIFF
images?

What does scanning mean anyway? Like Google Images?

TIFF = Lossless compressed image. Works especially well for
one-bit (black and white) images, even better because there's
a multi-page option, and standard TIFF viewers abound.

Scanning is simply a way to archive documents. (There's other
reasons to scan stuff, too.)
