Hi, I have an Epson 640 u perfection series, and have a quesition. Whenever i scan an image for email or to an application, the image size is huge, I mean gargantuan... I don't want to send an image this large. Why is it so much larger and how do I change it to send or keep. I just want it to be the same size as the original paper. Yes, in adobe, which opens when I click on the image, I can change the size to view. But, it reverts back to the original size when I close the window. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...

Thanks for your help in advance.

your scanner is probably set to scan at a higher resoluttion, perhaps 1200 dpi, or even 600. trim it down to 300 dpi. also different color settings (such as your bit depth) will impact file size. additionally, try to have the scanned image be in jpeg format, not tiff, gif, or psd. this should help.

Hi Matthew. If you have a program like Photoshop (even the cheap version of it) you can manipulate the graphic's size down to whatever you want and save it that way. Perfect for the web or whatever.

In Photoshop, the command you want to choose is Image Size..

You can then reduce the image by a factor or by pixel.

In Graphic Converter, you should use the Scale command, which is also available as a batch command when you choose 'Convert..' from the file menu

Can anything be done with quick time or the original app from epson? It seems like it should be possible.

Thanks,
