JL, you're right about Legacy and '.tiff' but as I always stored my files for at least the last 10 years as compressed file I couldn't use them. I prefered to use the 'LZW-compression' as it had a great result.
With the sentence "As Legacy only works with '.jpg' files you can restart any time with out any los of information and have a new '.jpg' file." I meant that storing the original picture as a '.tiff' and then working at it as a '.jpg' he has the possibility to start from scratch and not loosing any information.

Legacy can work with TIFF's but they have to be uncompressed. To save space with scanning TIFF's you can use LZW-compression which is loss-less and then reconstitute by re-saving with the compression option of None. Bernhard, what does this line mean?
