RE: [APML] O.T.: batch conversion of Tiff to JPG

Yea, I don't like them either, but for what Michael wants them for, I think 
it's fine.  I plan on doing something similar, so that I can archive a 
whole library on just a couple of disks and then put them in widely 
separated geographical locations as a last-resort emergency backup.

If you save the image at a setting of 10, 11 or 12 in Photoshop, you will 
be hard pressed to see any perceptible difference, even if you look at the 
image at 200 percent enlargement.
