How does v6 Image DB go from 2gb to 300mb in v9

[JulesFMP]

I have a FMPro v6 Image DB with 2,602 records (1 image per record) wherein the module data size is 1.98 gb.

When I converted it to FMPro v9 -- the same module goes down in size to 270mb. Yet the functionality seems to be the same.

How is this possible? What the difference between how jpgs are contained in FMPro v6 versus FMPro v9?

Thanks for any enlightenment!

FMP 6 did not store jpegs. It was (IIRC) stored in PICT (a Mac format) and BMP, and *both* were used if the "compatible graphics" option was selected.
