Sam,
you got the point. A 80MB TIFF can be opened only with a very special
machine and delicate software and has, in a first step to be cut into
smaller pieces, e.g. for post processing on a smaller computer. A half size
or only 320dpi resolution pict might be editable/printable on normal
machines and only that should be given away, if it is not much larger than
20...30MB.
