File:The Storming of Ft Wagner-lithograph by Kurz and Allison 1890.jpg

On Wikimedia Commons, TIFFs are intended mainly to be for archival storage of raw scans (some TIFFs don't even generate a thumbnail), and TIFFs are not usually considered to supersede JPEGs as such. It would be better to create a new and better JPEG based on the TIFF, and use that to overwrite the old JPEG. AnonMoos (talk) 23:04, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for the info. I'll make a jpeg later. Timothy G. ^{from CA} (talk) 21:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
