Only if the PNG has been incompetently produced. Uncompressed PNG will give huge files, but compression is normal and works fine. A comperssed PNG will generally give a smaller file size than the equivalent GIF. (Plus more than 256 colours, transparency, and much more bit depth. PNG is a perfectly good image archive format if you don't already have a TIFF infrastructure.) -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
