Do you have any photo software that came with a scanner or is resident on Windows? I think the windows one is called Imaging or something similar. Any of that software will let you save the image as a jpg and if you select a decent amount of compression it will make the file much smaller. The best thing I have found for this is IRFAN, and it's free, and was talked about a lot here on the site. Unfortunately I don't remember the link to them. Try looking up IRFAN on a search engine. It really works good and takes a short time to download. smile.gif :cool:

No real noticable difference in quality, however, load times improve dramatically. Thank you LVIEW Pro. Been using it for about 8 years.
