Hi, for conversion I use ImageMagick ( http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php) There is tool "convert" with option -compress.
If you need tool with gui you can also use IrfanView on Windows. During saving of image you select option "Show option dialog" and than you can choose compression type for tif. BTW: Tesseract 3 will/has no problem (for me ;-) ) to OCR also other format (png, jpg). Zd.
