filmscanners: (anti)compression?
I ibserved a strange phenomenon while applying compression to my tiff files
in PS 6.0.
I scanned a photograph on my flatbed with 16bit color, RGB and at 1200dpi
so that the resulting file was 100MB .TIF
When I applied LZW compression the resulting file was... 125MB!
What to think about it?
When using ZIP compression the file was 95MB-that doesn't surprise me as I
know .tif files don't compress well. But 125MB! :-) I didn't expect that.

Tomasz Zakrzewski
