What is the best way to reduce the size of scanned image files?
Answers:
You can save the file compressed or uncompressed. BMP and TIFF are uncompressed formats, JPG is compressed, and saves a lot of space (the picture is not as clear, but you might not even be able to tell!) You can adjust the resolution when you take the scan to be whatever size you want, or you can adjust it in a photo-editing program like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop.
There are even photo viewing programs that have some simple editing features, and file size is usually among them.
There's a really great photo viewer called ACD See that does some editing. It also allows you to adjust brighteness and contrast, which will improve just about any picture you take with a camera or scan.

Best file type is like answering what is the best car, my preference is JPEG. Your scanning software should allow you to save the output as a JPEG file.
Save it as a .JPEG file. The .JPEG format compresses the original image but still gives you a good picture.

Reduce resolution depending on the medium you will use it on and the size, you can compress picture using jpeg format and selecting the quality.
