Subject: tif patchsheets

From: creekree@...

hi!

perhaps you have noticed that i replaced the jpg-patchsheets with zips
containing tiffs. now the patches are of half the size.
they were scanned in b/w at 200 dpi with 1bit per pixel in the
tiff-format and then i put them into photopaint (i don´t have
photoshop) and saved them as tiff with ccitt4-compression. (my twain
doesn´t support tiff-compression)
i chose these procedure after playing around with the settings for
half an hour.
olgu posted that tif-images would be about only 10% the size of jpgs,
that might be true but unfortunately it seems that i can´t do this
while at the same time keeping the files readable.

this is why i posted the settings that led to the images: someone
around with good knowledge of graphicsoftware? tell me which settings
to use to get the same quality but a smaller file.....
personally i don´t really care about the size of files (have dsl) but
there seem to be some people around that surf the web the 14k-way...
so it would help them a lot!

ok, so long
