| I'm just setting up a scanner. The wizard is giving me the option to select from these file formats. What are the advantages of each? I'm pretty clueless about this kind of thing at the moment. |

JPG - the whole world uses them. "lossy", which means there's some quality loss involved in the compression. Generally good quality though.
BMP - raw bitmap, usually uncompressed. Lossless, but MUCH larger than jpgs. Not practical for internet usage.
I usually save things as JPGs, with a high quality compression setting... best of all tradeoffs. |
