That's unfortunate to hear. I thought i picked the best possible settings on the scanner. So how do i crop it without both losing in quality and increasing in size then? Now, even if i try to save cropped image as JPEG, it still turns out to be bigger than the uncropped original unless i set the "quality" parameter to 85 or lower.

Even archived, it is above the maximum allowed file size to attach to my post here, so instead of that here is a link of an image in question on a file hosting website: https://files.catbox.moe/0e90jr.tif

Hello. I am trying to process scans of a music album's cover & compact disc. The images that the scanner produced have A4 paper sheet's aspect ratio and bigger part of them is plain white space that i want to crop out. The problem is after i do, the resulting image's file size is multiple times that of the original. For example: Input: 4956x7009 1,34 Mb Output: 2871x2882 11,7 Mb All i did is cropped out parts of the image that are nothing but plain white color. How come the result turns out to be bigger than the original?
