One package I mentioned, PaintShop Pro (Windows, win95), is available to
download free in fully funcitional form from software ftp sites, (check out
www.shareware.com) and costs only $59 to register. It has lots of
functions, including format conversions, scanning, resizing, Jpeg compression,
etc.

by saving pictures as compressed jpeg's, you'll save lots of space over raw
tiff or bmp. also, pictures for newsletters rarely need to be scanned at more
than 200-300 dpi.
