Hi Tom,

I took a look at the methods that are available in the component you sent. It's not clear to me what I need to do in order to convert the image format of an image that is stored in a picture field.

Is there any documentation available?

Thanks again,
Ken

You should be able to automate conversion of most PICTs using JPR’s 
PICT_Convert. However, if you have static PICTs pasted directly onto forms, 
those will need to be individually visited. A v17 MSC log will give you a 
listing of those, I think.

Hi Steve,

I tried converting the images to .jpg. ipng and .tif using CONVERT PICTURE.  
Each format I tried resulted in blurry images.

To follow up on your question... I opened up a window that displayed one of the 
images that is stored in a field.  I copied the image into Preview on a Mac, 
then saved it as a .png file format.  That worked fine.

To verify, I then copied the .png image back into my 4D database and saved it.  
That image was also stored properly -- without being blurry.

I have a work around for changing the format of the images, but I really don't 
want to do this one-by-one for each image that is in every customer database 
that will eventually need to be updated.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken
