I save all my original scans as corrected tiffs.
Full size, no compression, complete IPTC info
incl. date and caption and © info. Then whatever
I need them for I can modify and save them in the
new arrangment for the specific purpose.
My digital originals get burned to CD in the form
they come off the camera. Then another set of
corrected, uncompressed tiffs gets saved also
with the features mentioned for film above.
Since most programs that one uses for
cataloguing, downloading etc retrieve the image
info that the digital camera collects at the
moment you get the shot I never discard my camera
originals.
