I am scanning lots of documents for a client, and somebody suggested to use JPEG 2000 format, instead of JPEG. Now, I understand that these typically take up less space for the same quality; but how about compatibility? For instance, some of these images are destined for distribution on a CD, and they should work in the major browsers. Also, to give another example, some pictures might end up being imported into PowerPoint presentations.
TIA,
Hilmar.
