Resaving as TIFF will increase their file size without improving the image in any way. If you just want to send the unaltered images from the camera, I'd send the Jpegs straight from the camera's memory card. 16-bit TIFF would make sense if you would want to send the highest possible quality processed images derived from the original RAW-data.

Bearing in mind that the image needs to be enlarged to probably to larger than A4 size, what would you suggest is the best way to send the image in order to maintain, or enhance, the sharpness of the picture? Should I convert to TIFF, burn a CD, and send in this way? Basically, what do you think? Looking forward to your reply. Thanks and regards, Ken. Hi,

At a decent resolution each page easily takes up a few megabytes, even compressed. Navigating from one page or file to another is also a nightmare. As for converting files to TIFF: If you have Acrobat Professional, you can use SAVE AS to save a PDF as a TIFF file. The Settings button in the save menu allows you to specify the resolution, color space & compression settings. For a multipage PDF, each pages is stored as a separate TIFF file. To save Word and Excel documents as TIFF, I'd first convert them to PDF and then use the above procedure.

It is most likely easier to retype the captions than to use an OCR application to convert them to text. Open the TIFFs in an application like Photoshop and crop the images in it.
