I am new to all of this. What I did was scan the negatives using a Nikon coolscan ad save them as high resolution tiff files. I then brought them into photoshop and did "save for the web", whereupon the files were converted to jpeg files. I noticed that on some images, instead of jpeg files, the computer saved them as giff files. How can I maximize the resolution of my images while at the same time have them download quicker. Thanks for your insight. Eric Boehm On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 2:43 PM, Didier Ludwig <leica@screengang.com> wrote: > Very impressive series, Eric.
