Message-ID: <20020514162834.AC81634469@login-3.eunet.no> Hei, TIFs are huge files which can be saved and opened again without loss of fidelity, if you are doing a lot of work on an image, you should keep it as a TIF until you want to send it or store it after all changes have been made. JPGs are small and are compressed/expanded automatically by the software you use, it is probably the best one to use when storing/sending files that will not need to be changes and resaved a number of times. Photos are usually stored as .JPGs in digital cameras. GIFs reasonably small, quite often drawings are saved in this format. Photos tend to make larger files in GIF than JPG. There are many other formats as well, you can open an image in one format in most programs used for viewing images and save it in another format. My Agfa Snapscan 310 came with Ulead iPhoto Express software which I found easy to use and gives me a number of options, including format to save in. Check the software you use for scanning and see if there is a format option, JPGs are prefered when sending/receiving files. I usually scan at 300 or 400 dpi which is good enough for screen and normal printing.

Decisions, decisions--which one do you want me to tape for you? I have the Jenny Profile (had forgotten I had it when I made the request on list) and the one photo is a front view, slightly to starboard; looks like there are no markings on it. Appears to be the 'prototype' as the radiators are not round. I could certainly use the three-view drawing: may I humbly request a scan? On the kit box, the whole front half of the fuselage appears to be metal--was this aluminum? Can I break out the bare metal foil for this one?
