PNG ten times as big as JPG
Asked by
Michaël Van Dorpe
When scanning a picture and saving, simple-scan defaults to jpegs.
However, in the file picker dialog, one can also enter for example "foo.png" as filename.
The result with my scanner is that the resuling file is about 10MB, ie about 10 times as big as saving to JPG.
I don't know much about these file types, and what type I should use, and what file sizes to expect, but this looks odd to me.
