I'm wondering if fm7 doesn't lower the DPI of images or something atleast on it's conversion process to fm7. My solution in fm6 and below left the image files at 1.06 GB. after converting it to fm7, I was shocked to find the file the images where in is at 300 MB.

I like that it's storing them more efficiently, just would like to know how it's doing it. As long as it's not standardizing the images down to like 72 DPI and lowering the color depth as my solution needs to have the images print nice and be capable of doing higher than 72 DPI.

Thanks for the info!

All I know is that it stores the images much more efficiently. This has the effect of speeding up print and display times. I had a solution which required printing of images, and sometimes it would take up to 3 minutes to print each page. Now it does it in seconds. I am very appreciative of it.
