Scanned photos only 300kb

Hello. I'm using a CanoScan to scan in some baby photos. I want to make a photo book from them. I'm currently uploading at 300dpi and the program tells me it will be 5mb but when I go to my Pictures folder and check the properties, it's only 300kb.

Hello.
I'm using a CanoScan to scan in some baby photos. I want to make a photo book from them. I'm currently uploading at 300dpi and the program tells me it will be 5mb but when I go to my Pictures folder and check the properties, it's only 300kb.

Thanks!

it could be the compression setting of the jpeg

it looks from the settings as the size is the uncompressed size

try saving them as tiffs and then outputing from photoshop as jpegs

Thanks for that. I had been using Photoshop before but someone said it wans't the right tool for the job, so I'd been scanning straight to Picasa. But that worked a charm. Thanks!
