Can I ask why you chose PNG for your archive format?

  It's lossless, offers compression, works with 16-bit images, and is well supported in a lot of software on all sorts of platforms.

    Interesting, thanks. I'd heard of PNG being used for this before and thought people had lost the plot. For context I started a neg scanning project a few years ago, ~150 rolls on an epson v850 (flatbed), and stuck with the default compressed tif after some surface research. There is little chance I would consider another processing step .. unless it was batched on a server somewhere! Very painstaking process, which has been on indefinite hold for a small while now (waiting for the AI to catch up).
