ABOUT JPEG COMPRESSION
Scanned graphics, photos, and other images can sometimes produce
large files. The JPEG options for scanning reduce the file size by
compressing the image electronically. But compression also reduces
image quality. Therefore, compressing an image involves a trade-off
between image quality and file size. In many cases, loss of quality due to
compression is not readily apparent, but the amount of compression
you select—if any—depends on the quality you want.
