Gimp save a tif file with bad lzw compression. For example: when i take the file
http://www.hausgemeinschaft-hoerde.de/~reiner/linux/bugs/100dpi-lzw.tif (about
80 KB) and save it without any changes i get a file with 100 KB. When i rescale it
to 90 dpi, i get 88 KB with lenny (gimp 2.4.7) or 92 KB with testing and unstable
(gimp 2.6.7).

Of course, the problem is not serious here, but scanning a file with A0 or 36" size
in high resolution it makes a big difference.

This example file is scanned with an OCE Scanner.

What program generated the original TIFF? Or did it come directly from
the scanner?

Are there any free software applications that get the right amount of
compression?
