There was a comment on the "was" thread about .jpg being an inferior format
to a couple of other formats. So if my Kodak 1.3Mp camera only downloads in
.jpg, how do I fool it into downloading in some other uncompressed format?

Many cameras (especially of that vintage) don't have an uncompressed
(aka raw) format, and JPG is what you get. In that case your best bet
is submitting the original JPG image. Leave the cropping/tweaking to the
editor. For a small illustration your camera should do fine as long as
you light the subject well (eg indirect sunlight).

According to the camera specifications, the actual file format is listed as:
"Exif version 2.1 (JPEG base).

EXIF has more technical information about the image (for example it
probably encodes the exposure and focal length information) but the image
itself is JPG.

Suggestions other than borrowing Gail's very expensive Canon for my magazine
shots?

Borrow Gail too?
