Hi,
.NET 15 , C#
I am scanning some documents using TWAIN, and saving them in Tiff format, each file size is around 8.5mb, is there a way to reduce the file size (Same format), without losing quality?
Thanks,
Sudheer

LEADTOOLS supports saving to TIF file format with a wide variety of compressions. Which one exactly are you using when you are saving your files?
In general, if you want to save as black and white, a very good result can be achieved using the constant TifCcittGroup4 (saves as TIF compressed using CCITT, group 4).
If you want to save as color, then this depends on 4 main factors:
1. What is the color depth (8 bits per pixel, 24, or something else)?
2. Do you want the compression to be completely lossless, or very high quality lossy? Lossy compression is better at reducing size.
3. Which LEADTOOLS toolkit do you own? Some compression types are only supported in Document Imaging toolkits or require additional purchase.
4. Do you need your images to be opened by other common viewers, or you only care about your own viewer? Some formats give good compression, but are not commonly used.

Thanks for the quick reply, we are using .NET LeadTools documents imaging suite 15.
We are saving images in color. Currently we are saving in uncompressed Tiff format, color depth 8. We are looking for lossless compression. Yes, we are looking for common format.
Thanks,
Sudheer

TifLzw would be the best option. It's lossless, has good compression, and widely supported.
