-- but the file sizes have blown out exponentially, presumably because of the
now millions of extra colours introduced to the Frame colour lists. (All
images are imported by ref, BTW.) He is using FM 7.1, having recently binned
5.5.6 (where the problem also existed).
I vaguely remember reading that this colour blow-out applies only when one
particular Windows Colour Quality setting is used.
Can anyone please remind me which one?
The PNGs have to be non-indexed (24-bit color instead of 8-bit color).
He will also need some plugin (or a FrameScript) that he can wipe over >10,000
pages to rid them of the extra colours.
Saving as MIF will clear all of the "RGB nnn,nnn,nnn" colors.
If many FM files are involved, visit http://www.microtype.com/Links.html
for information on utilities which save all files in a book as MIF.
