Can you put them on a Web or FTP site? Even a JPEG of a scan that size (4000 dpi, right?) is going to be around 26 MB. I know that my Coolscan produces 12 MB JPEGS (via Photoshop), and 57 MB TIFFs (in 36-bit color mode). > I'm not sure how representative any of them are. 200 > to 300K. It will not be possible to judge the scans accurately if you compressed them that far. Too much is lost in the compresssion. The best thing to do is prepare one JPEG of the overall scan, reduced in size, to show the quality, plus another JPEG of minimal compression showing a small extract of the same scan, at full resolution, to show the resolving power. -- Anthony
