Barbara,
Not knowing what your problem is, I can say that my TIF files are between
55 and 60 megs on scanning at 4000 PPI. I don't have my scanner turned on
but are there TIF saving options in the software? Might you have set it for
200% scaling, which would make the file size twice what it really is?
