I’m scanning old snapshots for CD archiving with the intention of later
printing- and maybe some editing. The output type on my scanner is
..jpg, and scanned resolution of 300. I’ve been scanning a couple to a
few pictures at a time, then copy and paste them into new individual
..jpg’s.
I remember reading somewhere that each time a .jpg is opened and edited
it loses some quality. Is this quality negligible, or would I be better
off saving it in a non-compressed format from my scanner and then
separate them into the smaller .jpg’s? (saving at least one open and
edit session)
Also, the hp scanning software that came with my scanner is sadly
lacking. Any recommendations for new scanning software?
Thanks for any and all suggestions,
Terry
