Hey, 

this is not a pov question, but you guys here (D.F. C.H. P.P. et al. )
are very reliable in your graphics knowledge so I figured I would ask
:-)

I am scanning in a lot of newspaper articles and need to find a good
format to store them in for others to view off of a CD-Rom. Currently
the uncompressed images are about 6Mb each (at 200 dpi scanning) which
is way too large. Any thogthts about the advantages or disadvantages of
JPEG or TIFF or PNG?

thanks a lot  again, sorry this is a non-pov msg in a pov group :-)
