scanning photos

[haon94]

I am trying to scan a photo with a scanner. I am saving in BMP format. I am having a problem with the size of the file. The picture is huge and I am not sure what setting to change.

Also, does anyone know of freeware that is good for scanning?

Thanks

I do all my scanning with Photoshop 6

Try saving your scan as a jpg
