RE: PNG file format?

["Paul D. DeRocco" <pderocco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think PNG is superior to JPEG, especially not JPEG 2000. I believe
it was primarily designed as a replacement for GIF, since the patent holder
on GIF suddenly woke up after years and decided to demand money from
everyone who was using it.

I always use TWAIN to scan into Photoshop, so the format ends up being
whatever I save it in from there.
