4.3 The Compression Tab
The Compression tab allows you to compress your scanned
image and choose the level of compression. Bi-tonal images
are normally compressed using CCITT standard called Group 4
(G4). Color and grayscale images are often compressed using
JPEG technology. Move the
JPEG Quality slider to the right
or left to increase or decrease the level of compression. Note
the greater the compression level, the lower image quality.
Default is 50%.
Note that the compression depends on your image editing
application. If your image editing application does not support
the type of compression format, then either a warning
message will appear or the image quality of the compressed
file will not be acceptable.
