Which graphic file format is most likely to be readable on any modern operating system--.tif, .jpg, .bmp, what? (I don't want to save and email a raw file.) If .tif, then what flavor?
(My scanner program, which I have to run out of Windows, since I can't get the scanner to work right in Linux, has got some formats that I never even heard of!) Oh, the scanner is fussy in Windows XP, also. Some of the programs it should work with, it won't.
'Not surprised at that. I'd suggest jpg for any graphic file that has to be easily read by other systems. It's a lossey format, but sometimes you don't have a choice. I import Canon RAW files and save as tifs, then reduce to no larger than 1024x? and save as jpg for an image to send "out."
