Check it out let me know what you think. If you are going to color correct, clean, and crop scanned files, then they should not be saved as .jpeg until you're finished with all of your editing. The .jpeg format loses information that is important for correction. Even simple things like cropping causes the loss to be multiplied. You should have volunteers scan and save as TIFF with LZW compression, or PNG with compression. The files will be bigger, so perhaps you'll want to confirm that you need a cover rather than have volunteers send unsolicited files. But your end result will be much better if you use a lossless image file format like TIFF or PNG between the scan and the editing stages. Your final images can be .jpeg compressed (but save the intermediate files). Once an image is cropped and color corrected, using a single .jpeg compression as the final step will look much better than using .jpeg throughout. Thanks for offering your services and site! Brian Willoughby Sound Consulting Brian, Thanks for the input. I agree that TIFFs or PNGs would be better if my final output was going to be a high resolution image. But I'm ending with a 72dpi web image here so a 150dpi jpeg will be fine. Plus it keeps the files smaller for e-mailing. Everything on the site was done in this fashion and looks great. I think that more people are familiar with jpegs and I'm trying to make this work for everyone here. Plus I want to keep this as simple as possible and not have to spend allot of time on this. I'm sure you understand. Thanks, Jonathan Artwork Site: http://homepage.mac.com/jonathankamm/YelloSites/Menu22.html
