That's another reason for my leaving things as scans for the time being - I 
can never decide how important preserving the original 'feel' of the item 
being scanned is (vs. just preserving the information within it).

At what point do things like this stop - how important is it to capture the 
fact that someone was using coloured backgrounds in an article, for instance 
(requiring a colour rather than greyscale scan and consequently increase in 
storage)?

Part of me wants to preserve the item in its original form as much as possible 
- but another part just wants the raw data stored as efficiently as possible...

cheers
