I don't care too much about file sizes with how cheap storage is these days
but I've done some scanning projects in the past and there's always a
critic, LOL.
Best,

I have found that even fairly fine detail
reproduces okay with a 300
DPI scan ... there's no need in scanning with extraneous bit depth
and
then you start to get people complaining about
file sizes
I have found that one can generally have one's cake, and eat it too:
if I scan at 600dpi in black and white, and then use "CCITT Group 4"
compression, the resulting images (of prints) are ~200KB per page.
Is that small enough? :-)
