Hi,

once again for TIFs. I would suggest:
- scan with greyscale, choose dpi resolution to get a file size of about 11
MBs (approx. 4000 x 3000 pixels 8bit).
- save as tif or bmp
- open in photopaint
- best is to adjust levels to get "white" instead of light grey tones and as
much black as possible, before you convert it to b/w
- perhaps you find an adjustment for threshold or so
- avoid to use "dithering" or so
- save it as tif ccitt4
- you can try to use ACDSee's converting (right mouse click menu)
- you're right it will only compress to 15%...20% of jpeg and sometimes it's
white on black

And: it's not only a question of download time, but also of memory space on
the group site

Olaf (don't know why sometimes "olgu" appears....)

PS:
Many many thanks for all those patches.
Tried some patches and they sound very good, but who can edit all those
parameters completely?????

Isn't it NECESSARY to develop a software tool according to Lee's idea?

hi!

perhaps you have noticed that i replaced the jpg-patchsheets with zips
containing tiffs. now the patches are of half the size.
they were scanned in b/w at 200 dpi with 1bit per pixel in the
tiff-format and then i put them into photopaint (i don\ufffdt have
photoshop) and saved them as tiff with ccitt4-compression. (my twain
doesn\ufffdt support tiff-compression)
i chose these procedure after playing around with the settings for
half an hour.
olgu posted that tif-images would be about only 10% the size of jpgs,
that might be true but unfortunately it seems that i can\ufffdt do this
while at the same time keeping the files readable.

this is why i posted the settings that led to the images: someone
around with good knowledge of graphicsoftware? tell me which settings
to use to get the same quality but a smaller file.....
personally i don\ufffdt really care about the size of files (have dsl) but
there seem to be some people around that surf the web the 14k-way...
so it would help them a lot!

ok, so long

christian
