  In which format do you save your raw scans? I don't know a whole lot
  about image formats. What I do know is that one would want quality,
  so JPEGs are out. One doesn't want it to be encumbered by
  proprietary formats, so GIFs are out. One wants the format to be
  portable so that it can be used by all software. Are there other
  considerations that I have neglected?

  xsane chooses PNM by default, vuescan chooses TIF. Which one should
  I choose? Are there any references that discusses these issues?
