Hi John and all, I have had an interesting experience with TIFF files. I often save the output from my scanner in this format. The files are huge, about the same size as bit maps (.bmp). When I view the TIFF file in Imaging Preview and rotate the file, the new compressed file, one tenth the size is created. I don't even have to actively save the file. The rotated compressed file is saved when I close the program. I don't know how or why this works but it is very handy. I now routinely scan things up side down so I can rotate and compress them. I do not know if this is a lossy compression like jpeg or loss free file compression like zip. If I send this file as a fax, the huge bit map equivalent is recreated by the fax program.

I tried it, but boy, they are huge files! John -
