Good morning gurus! A quicky here; I'm converting and have finally decided to make the jump to digital. Before I buy a camera, I need to convert all my slides to digital.
I've started scanning, and though the scanner works quite well, I've decided that tif is NOT a format I want to be keeping on my hard drive. Ideally, I'm going to back them up onto dvds using tiff, then keep jpegs or something similar. Reasoning? 400mb each tif is a little... high!
Using photoshops save-as function, I can compress them to jpeg (which I realise uses only 8-bits for the light levels, but I can't think of any other formats that will work well - advice welcome!); but doing this manually takes eons!
I've got some automated batch processes running in photoshop; but I can't do save-as in a batch... ideas?
Thanks,
Michele
p.s. its photoshop cs if it makes a difference
