Well, my point was that I would like to have some kind of wysiwyg (with respect to _size_, that is) for scanning.
At this moment, after scanning at 200x200 dpi I have to rescale the image manually to the size of the original (which is a bit tiresome when you're scanning dozens of documents), or file it as is (which is over 2 times as big as the original). But I must say, I've been fiddling with gqview options and I have found an acceptable setting for viewing these non-rescaled images with automatical zooming. Non-rescaled images do take a lot more disk-space, though. Bye.
