RE: What image format to use

["Sharon Burton" <sharonburton@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Somethings to think about:

If you are also creating PDFs, you want to use a compact graphics format.
BMPs, even linked can seriously impact the PDF size.

GIFs are limited to 256 colors. If color depth matters to you, PNG works
well at 65 million colors. And they are typically very small. And smaller
graphics results in smaller PDFs.

Now how this works in Mig2GO, which I own and love, I don't know. But these
are things to think about. I do know that PNGs work well in WWP.
