Hi Jim,
TIFF is good ;-) I either do raw or TIFF, never JPG.

Peter,
Adobe Camera Raw reads/opens Imacon RAW files. A Canon RAW file is
different than a Nikon RAW file and is different than an Imacon RAW
file and is different than a RAW file from a Microtek or Nikon
scanner, but ACR reads them. There is ABSOLUTELY no difference in
data coming off of a camera sensor or a scanner sensor. It is analog
pixel data, run through an A/D converter, fixed with PRNU
algorithms, and delivered to memory. Where the memory is and what
kind it is makes no difference. CF, SD, Firewire/USB to your laptop/
desktop, whatever. If you request JPEG, then you allow other camera/
scanner firmware/software to muck with it (before you get it),
producing a printable compressed file, losing some data in the
process.

RAW? You cannot scan RAW files or scan to RAW. Those are
proprietary files that a Digital SLR creates and you use Adobe
Camera Raw to open, adjust and then save them as JPEG or whatever
file you want, except RAW.

Try scanning raw.
Less messing around. But really mainly good if you've kept your
Photoshop
chops up through the years. As scanner interfaces and software
changes but
Photoshop is still Photoshop.
