I use a 800x600 screen resolution. I found that using 400dpi scans
creates images that look a bit small on screen and will try 600dpi
instead. If you can crop the image after scanning that will save a lot
of memory, then use a programme like LViewp1.8 or some other to save the
file as JPEG for big savings in file size.
