That's always worked for me, too. It doesn't make sense to save pictures at
full resolution unless you're going to do further work on them (e.g.
retouching or large prints). The flip side of that coin, of course, is that
if you've already done the work of scanning, why not save it as scanned? If
you have ample storage space, there's no reason not to--but given past
discussions on the fallibility of inexpensive CD-R's, perhaps it would be
better to save small "thumbnail" files to disc/or HD for reference and the
large files to CD-R or DVD for later use.
Just a thought. ---LRA
