I have a Canon CanoScan FB320P scanner and when I scan photos I just click scan than save. The scan quality is great but the size of the saved file is massive (approx 1.6Mb). That's way too big to put on the internet to send to friends or anything like airliners.net. What I'm asking is anyone with this scanner or alot of knowledge please help me and tell me how I can save it to a reasonable size? I think it saves in Bmp format so If you can tell me how to change it that could be great too.
BTW I have Corel Photpaint 7 at the moment and when I open the pictures they come up in that. Thursday I will be getting my new computer that has PIII, 700Mhz, 128Mb Ram, 20Gb HDD, Voodoo 3 3000 AGP and I will get Paint shop 7. If this setup will help please tell me. Oh and the Voodoo and 128Mb ram is so I can eventually run my copy of MS FS2000 Pro without problem.

Dude,
When you've scanned your pic you need to do your editing and then resize it and convert it to JPG format. I'm not familiar with Corel 7 but I'm sure you would be able to convert it.

Hi
I always work on my shots with the BMP format and when I get them the way I want, save as JPG and use a compression program like JPEG Wizard to compress.
This program is better than the compression feature of the photo software (I think so anyway)
I use Corel Photo Paint 9 which is not that big a difference from Paint 7.
