Hi Dave,

It may only make a small difference in speed. There should not be any memory leak, as long as you create/destroy only once. Assign a new image to an TTiffGraphic already created is fine; the previous image is released.

The only drawback if it is created "outside" the scan, is that you alway have one image loaded between scans. You could also use TTiffGraphic.Clear after saving your image.

If your ISIS scanning returns your images in black and white, there should be no need to do an image format conversion. After assigning the TTiffGraphic the image received from the scanner, check the ImageFormat to see if the image format is black and white.

Best regards,

Michel
