The GIMP opens and saves most image formats on Windows, Mac and Linux.
It's less than fabulous in usability, but very powerful.

IrfanView for Windows is freeware a lot of people like. I haven't used
it in years - it seemed to do the job, but I knew my way around the
GIMP so went back to that.

For the questions on fair use of the scans: do the scans add something
to the article that you really just can't get any other way? With
album and book covers, it's *the* cover for the album. Is a score
regarded that way?
