I was aware that adding PNG, added many extra colors to the color lists, Are you also saying that it can make the actual frame maker files very big because of this? I was not aware of this drawback.

He switched to using PNGs for the many screenshots in his very large manuals -- 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? He will also need some plugin (or a FrameScript) that he can wipe over >10,000 pages to rid them of the extra colours. All contributions greatfully received. jjj -- John Pitt, technical writer 47 Gottenham St Glebe NSW 2037 Ph: +612 9692 8096 Mob: +614 3892 8096 john at pitt.net.au www.pitt.net.au _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as caroline at radcom.com.
