What is the best compression (1 - 100%) to use when saving a scanned
colour photo in jpeg?

Use the minimum compression that will give you the file size you need for
your purpose. The more you compress, the more data you lose. Always save
the original. Remember, HD space is something like $.50US a gigabyte
these days, so adding HD space is a pretty cheap alternative.

I can second that.
And 95% quality level really gives you the optimal value to start with.
A 100% doesn't scale to the gain you get for quality and everything less is
covered by the 50 cent/GB (nice value BTW )
