Or image->mode, bitmap, 1-bit palette should drastically reduce the file size. I suspect that the 'line art' setting in xsane is producing a grayscale image but with each pixel either solid black or solid white, which would make the resulting PNG easy to compress. Rotating likely causes many pixels to become shades of gray along the edges and increasing the file size. My scanner is dead or I'd test this out myself. Not sure on the increase when saving the image as-is - are all of the 'Save Comment', 'Save Creation', etc. boxes unchecked in the PNG save dialog?
