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.

Thanks Shlomo -- you are right on the money (as usual).
The saving as MIF is something that would never have occurred to me,
despite using that method for many other Frame ills over the last 14
years with Frame.
Thx again

PNG files add colors to the FM file only if they use less than 16
million colors. You won't see this problem if you make sure your PNGs
use a 16 million color depth.
You can fix any FM document that suffers from this by either of the
following methods:
1) Save the FM as MIF, then open the MIF
