Is there a way to compress image in FileMaker

Hi! I am designing an application that need to store image in a file. I noticed that 44 images (total of 84Mo on HD) goes up to 440mo once I store them in the filemaker file. Is that normal and is there a way I can compress them and keep a good hi res?

thank you!

Are the pictures you insert saved as JPG files? This must have something to do with the way images are stored when they are "blobbed" in a container field, but they must have lost all their compression.

Is the resulting image (once inserted into a container field) still saved as a JPEG or does FileMaker convert it into another format -- which, like BMP files in Windows, doesn't support compression?
