I am starting a project measuring features of hand and foot x-rays on 400 to 600 sets ( 4 each set) so it is a rather large project. I'm estimating 250-350 hours. There is some controversy among colleagues who we also be participating as to wheter measurements are likely to be affected by transmitting the images in compressed TIFF format. I will be using the Microsoft Photo Editor to decompress them and then making the measurements with an ImageJ plugin.
Would anyone with the engineering/math/computer science background sufficiently broad to know whether this "lossless" compression-decompression system will influence the measurements comment on this problem.
