>From reading through the posts on scanning tips I see many of you have had much more experience than I on scanning. I just finished scanning over 500 photos in the past few months. I saved all to .BMP. The reason being, I'm told by photo restorers is that .bmp create more pixels to work with if any photo restoration is needed. I have a good friend who is a graphics artist and I sent her a few of my old photos. She did a wonderful job at "fixing" what time and poor storage (loose in a foot locker & stuffed in old purses) did to those old photos, some of which were turn of the century. Good luck...it takes a long time, but it will be so worth it in the end!
