Mega try it at 100. If the resolution is too high even a square inch will be a file size that is too big. It is fie size, not image size that matters.

Ok mega, when you scan at a high resolution say a 2x3 area, when you really look at it the scan comes out to like 10x15. If you have a graphic program, even a cheap download you can look at the image in actual size, and then use reduction to make the true size smaller while retaining the higher resolution.

...and the gods swept a tear in joy.....


lessons learned-
1 never give up (been at this since 11:30am now 6:10pm)
2 scanner saves a 2.5x3.5 image as about 8x12 inches
3 fool with color if needed
4 repeat 1

Also for a graphic like you scanned, it think a .gif may make a smaller file size for you. jpeg is good for things like photos of people or places.
