[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 272776, member: 176256"] Re: the scan. One thing I did do was to try saving the scan in different formats. It's amazing how many people save evrything as a jpeg. In this case the jpeg was about 5Mb! I have requently found that, in the case of B/W scan,that a BMP can be quite small, especially if saved in RLE format. Unfortunately not everyone can view the RLE format! A suitable alternative that most people can view is an old-fashioned Tiff. The size can be squeezed even more if saved at 1 bit colour depth, ie straight black or white. If the scan is at high enough a resolution then it can pick up the individual dots of the photographs in the newspaper quality photos (75 lines per inch (lpi), I seem to recollect) that the RT used to use. Discourse over! [/QUOTE]
