I sent another message about my scans that was rejected by the listproc (had a command keyword in the first line!) I scanned at 100 DPI in 16M colors then saved as JPEG and tada! I don't know what the deal is, what color resolution did you use? I believe JPEG is better at compressing full color images than lower color depth one. I used an Artec as6e scanner and Paint Shop. I was goin to do some color reduction on them but when I saw the size I didn't think it would be necessary. Francois dastar(a)siconic.com
