WINDOWS 98 QUESTION!

Brusso · Jul 26, 2007

I have this old scanner for Windows 98 which is called Pagis Pro 3.0 and will
not work for Windows XP at all. What I want to do is to save these files on
to a disk and save them to my other computer that has Windows XP and be able
to see them on that computer as well as send them to someone in an E-Mail
whether it be a picture to a document or anything else I've scanned as well
also. I just want to be able to see these files on my computer that has
Windows XP and for other newer versions of Windows that come out in the
future for the same reasons as well also. This is also because that other
computers may not have these type of conversion files and will only work one
way and because they don't have this particular program that I speak of here
at all as well also! Can you please tell me which of the files in the program
of Pagis Pro 3.0 will work to convert these files from everything I have
listed below.

Currently set to: TIFF Uncompressed (*.tif)

OTHER CONVERSIONS INCLUDE:

eXtended Image Format 3.0 (*.xif)

eXtended Image Format 2.0 (*.xif)

BMP (*.bmp)

BMP RLE (*.bmp)

What you have now, uncompressed TIFFs, is generally OK. Most applications
will read TIFFs just fine. BMPs are even more universal. Both of these
formats have the advantage of no loss of quality. JPEG format is the most
universal, but is "lossy", which means that it is compressed in part by
reducing the quality. Advantage is that they are substantially smaller than
uncompressed formats (TIFF and BMP). I prefer uncompressed TIFFs, but I'm a
graphic developer and can't afford loss of quality. TIFFs are more
complicated than BMPs, as they can contain lots more info, like layers.
