Technical notes:
Scanning a 4x6 photo at 300dpi yields a graphic 1780x1180x16million weighing in at 6.05Mb.
Saving in the GIF format (which can have a color depth no greater than 256 colors) leaves the filesize around 1.4Mb.
Saving in the JPG format (JPG uses a "lossy" compression, losing detail according to the quality setting) still leaves the filesize around 300Kb.
By reducing the color depth (32K or 256), then saving in the JPG format, the filesize may be reduced to 200Kb.
Of course, cropping and resizing are options to further shrink the photo (before saving in JPG).
Tip: Try reducing the color depth to 32K instead of 256 colors. Sometimes the former results in a smaller file, and retains the photo quality. At a certain point, too few colors makes the image more complicated, and harder to compress.
Added 2003.Jun When saving for archive purposes, where retaining quality is the goal, Save as JPG for highest compression, but change quality to 100% to avoid any significant lossy compression. For no loss, save as PNG.
