Matt, why would you scan as a jpg instead of a tif?
Jpgs lose something each time they are manipulated and saved, a tif doesn't.
I scan as tifs, do all the post processing, sharpen at the end, and then save as a jpg. Just wondering if there is an advantage I"m not seeing to scanning as a jpg to start, other than the size issues.

jpg and tif are save formats - you don't "scan as a jpg." When you save the file, most people save jpgs so they don't take up too much space. I assume Howard wasn't scanning 100,000 cards for his personal collection. When you save as a jpg, there is a loss of detail due to the compression; that is something that can be controlled and greatly effects the finished product.

The $100 stand alone Epson on 400 dpi. is as good as you will ever need.
