Putting your specific problem aside, the above question is impossible to answer without a lot more information. For instance: Are you using vector or bitmap graphics? Are the graphics sceenshots, photographs, diagrams, line art, CAD drawings? How many colors do you need to support? What are your delivery formats: FM docs, online PDF, print, HTML, ...? Is it important that the preview of the graphics in FM is of good quality, closely representing the printed output? Is image file size important? Are you working cross-platform in FM? (Windows, Mac, UNIX) Etcetera. I'm just giving you examples of what considerations that must be taken when selecting formats of graphics. Don't expect me to make a good recommendation if you choose to answer all these questions :-) -- /Thomas Michanek, FrameMaker/UNIX/MIF expert http://go.to/framers/
