Ah, sorry, I see I wasn't clear enough. The index page has links to (and descriptions of) each image. If you visit it, you will find that I have indeed made JPEG and PNG images. I have certainly not used maximum compression as that hits quality too much, but I have twiddled it a bit on the JPEG so that (IMO) quality is not compromised greatly from the original. > Wouldn't it make image files reasonably small? Not in my opinion. The scanned BMP is 5MB, the PNG is just over 2.5MB, the JPEG is just over 0.5MB. > Well, this would be only a temporary partial solution. A vector > graphics format is needed. If you look at the pictures you'll realise that this isn't a good place to start. However if someone feels it might be worth pursuing, I'll track down a raster-to-vector tool and give it a go.
