1.  One of the inspector panels on scan-X has a resolution tag.  Change the  
resolution to a higher number to make the image shrink.

2.  A similar option can be done with Scene.

3.  Get the pbm series of utilities and run the following pipe:
tifftopnm filename | pnmscale -s scalefactor | pnmtotiff > newfilename
