If you've other information, I'd like to know. Tim, You are right. When I answered I thought only of the ones I see which are typically a wallpaper file and of lower quality. It is the standard in the Microsoft "office computer" world. And on this subject, I still suggest that TIFF is the single best solution and well supported across platforms. IMO Using a lossy or proprietary compression scheme that is not universally available is akin to not properly washing your film or prints. It could (will) come back to haunt you later. Henry
