Whenever I download a file from Ancestry I download it straight into IrfanView (free program, much recommended by many LUGgers but you can choose to use whatever picture editing software you like) so that I can crop it, straighten it or improve its clarity and then I save it. I could choose to save them as Tiffs, but as it happens, practically all the ex-Ancestry documents are saved as Jpegs because it is not necessary to have a huge, high-quality file for a Census image or Parish Register image which is never going to be edited again. I've just checked - I have 3,790 Census images and at least 1,204 Parish Register images already: would take a heck of a lot of hard drive space if they were all Tiffs! -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
