Greetings all:
A seemingly dismayed individual asked me why the drawings that he was
scanning take up so much disk space...after all these are simple line drawings
and not full grey-scale images. Well, since I couldn't give a satisfactory
answer, I need your help. Please explain why scanned line drawings take up
so much space, let me know what is the "best" scanning software available, and
let me know if some sort of compression can be done when storing and
uncompression when recalling the drawings. I'm sorry but I don't know what
equipment he is using now :-(
Please (as always) respond directly to my email address and I'll post
the conclusions back to comp.sys.mac once a sizeable number has been received.
Thanks in advance,
