Manage Large Image Files

> Scanning images, especially those scanned as gray scale or color, can be very large. When confronted with a file that is too big, there are several ways to reduce its size.

> Draw a smaller selection frame
> Only select the part of the image that is needed. Including areas not necessary in the final output needlessly increase image file size.

> Scan the image at a lower resolution
> Using a lower resolution will significantly reduce the size of your files. For example, in some cases scanning a gray scale image at 150 dpi, with software sharpening, can result in an image that is as good as a 300 dpi scan.

> Be careful with color image
> Images scanned as color will be large because so much data is captured during the scan. Unless a color monitor to display or edit the image is available, scanning the image as color is unnecessary.
