Large color tifs
Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2012 9:01 pm
Hello,
I am seeing very large file sizes when saving color images to a multipage tif using anything other than JPG compression.
Example..
2 pages scanned Letter size, color, 300 dpi =
48MB (no compression)
34MB (LZW)
30MB (Zip)
2.8MB (JPG)
I've tried scanning with a Kodak 1220 and a Panasonic 2026 with similar results. Scanned and saved the files using the "TwainAdvancedDemo" app that came with the latest VintaSoftTwain.NET release (ver 8.2).
The problem with JPG compression is at least on XP stations, the images can't be viewed using the native Windows image viewer, which they need to be.
Any tips on getting the file size down using the other compression types?
