With lossless LZW compression you could probably get a 37 meg file (16x20 RGB at 200 PPI) down to 26-28 megs depending on the image. As a JPEG in the maximuim quality setting with previews it would be about 4 megs. You could not detect a difference. Easily 24 images per CD. Better yet, save huge files 100 megs and JPEG down to 10 megs or so. You get 60 on a CD. At $1.49 a disk, I've been saving the whole enchilada: 80 to 100 meg files with LZW compression. I get about 10 per disk. 14 cents an image. Try having a dupe made for than much. Tom >But scanning at "just" enough quality to print 8x10's takes, what, 25MB per >image?
