The full-size images probably are OK, but visitors to the Picasa site
don't appear to have the option of viewing that, only the thumbnail.

PDF format is not especially 'better' than a jpeg, what you get out is
what you put in, you just need to clean the image up before you get
into its final format.

We scan at 300dpi, clean it up, save as a TIFF file for archiving,
then reduce and save as a jpeg for web use. Gives us two copies, one
is a high-quality TIFF with no compression losses, and one as a jpeg.
