I have a 21.5 inch iMac mid 2011 model, with snow leopard. Using a HP Photosmart C4100.
I am Scanning a whole bunch of old photos onto my mac and noticed it was taking up a lot of hard drive space everytime i scanned (approx. 200 MB per 5 picture scan) i have all my scanned pictures set to 300 dpi jpeg and only take up about 400 to 800 KB per image. Every time i scan a few i just see my free space monitor drop at a fast rate (which at 400 to 800 KB per image seems kind of odd to be dropping at this rate).
Im hoping someone has run into this problem before, because i started out with 150 GB of free space and am now down to 139 GB of free space (have only scanned about 100 pictures so far)
