For the past few months I've been working to move several users on an all-Mac FMP 5/6 system to PCs (XP). One of the biggest stumbling blocks I encountered was the use of linked EPS images in several files. Macs and PCs don't play nice with EPS previews, so we made a decision to use GIFs (exported periodically from EPS originals) instead. All the images are stored on a Mac file server and inserted as references by the Mac users. The PCs are conencted to the file server via PC Mac LAN and display the linked GIFs. However, now I'm getting complaints that the GIFs do not maintain adequate detail on-screen. I'd like to use PNGs because they retain more detail when displayed at different sizes, but I cannot get the PCs to display them, even when saved as web ready. Any thoughts?

The problem may be with how the PNG files are being generated. Try creating the PNG files with a different application, or try creating them on one of the PCs and see if you still have the same problem.
