Hi Michel,
Then i guess the next questions i have is:
1. If you do not set the image format in the code anywhere is there a default image format used? I was not sure so i created a TImageFormatTransform, and call that before i save out each image, setting it to ifBlackWhite, and then setting the compression to tcGroup4 using the following statement:
TTiffGraphic(Graphic).Compression := tcGroup4;

2. What is the RowPerStrip stuff? should i be setting this for my tiff files to make them smaller?

3. When my images are scanned in they are stored by the scanner in an hdib property. I am then declaring a TDibGraphic to get that and assign it to the imagescrollbox control using the following code:
Graphic := TDibGraphic.Create;
Graphic.AssignFromDibHandle(hdib);
ImageScrollBox.Graphic := Graphic;
Graphic.Free;
Should i maybe replace the first line to create a TTiffGraphic instead of a TDibGraphic?

I hope you dont mind all these stupid questions,but i am relatively new to Delphi, and very new to working with graphics on a programming level. So please bear with me, i will eventually get this.
And believe me when i say, this is one of the coolest image libraries i have seen, and we tested a few before deciding on Envision. Even Pegasus ImageXpress couldnt compete against Envision. We look forward to a long and healthy relationship with Interval Software and the Envision Library. Can't Wait to see the new version.

Thanks again,
Dave
