First, I am awaiting delivery of MrSid so cant really comment on its 
capabilities. But, it does seem to solve the problem of storing 
several copies of an image for different purposes, especially in a 
high quality format. It also appears to be "future proof" in so far 
as the reduced MrSid file can be converted to tiff,jpeg etc and 
presumably any future format. The time saving is also an important 
point for me.
If your interested I could send you a MrSid file in about a week. 
Probably better to contact me off list.
