Hello,

One of our biggest headaches is that users often scan entire documents in color when only a few specific pages require it, which results in excessively large image sizes, slow loading times, and in extreme cases issues with our Quick Fields agent.

We are trying to figure out a good way to address the situation, and I'm realizing now that there's no clear/easy way to "evaluate" the page images without first storing them to the repository.

For example, seeing color on an image may be obvious, but a plain text document scanned in color doesn't look noticeably different than a monochrome version to the typical user.

Additionally, even after you've stored something the repository, the only real indicator within the client that something was scanned in color is the size of the individual page since color/grayscale are substantially larger than monochrome images.

As a result, I think it would be highly beneficial to have something in the scanning interface that would make it easier to check the format and size of the individual pages prior to storage, as well as something in the client to identify which pages/images use TIFF Group IV, TIFF LZW, TIFF JPEG, etc.
