Topic: Scancafe.com, TIFF vs JPG

[sunjan]

     I've got a few hundred 35mm color transparencies that I'd like to get in a digital format. I ran across ScanCafe.com, and I have read the fine print (outsourced to India), but I'm planning to send at least some of my non-critical images on a trial run. Anyone have any experience with this place?

Hey Clive and all,
