I think keeping drum scans is slightly different to keeping digital files. <G> One assumes you are keeping only your best whereas Andy says he is submitting 1000's!! His exclamations... Nuff said. >> Dear Shangara A drum scan is a digital file. I might not have 1,000s, more like 2,000 and it is a problem storing them all. I heard that one photographer bought 20 big hard disks and sent thousands of files to his agents round the world that way. There is another factor over using Jpegs as a standard. A couple of years ago a company claiming to own the copyright looked into charging a royalty for every use of Jpegs. This scared the stock photo industry. At the same time there were other Jpeg like compression systems but no one has jumped into using them on a large scale. Archives saved as TIFFS can always be converted to new style formats but some users are wary of Jpeg > other compression format conversions.
