Importing graphics into flexi

[graywoulf]

I mainly use Flexi-Pro for all of my work but importing picture files or other graphics in .jpg or .bmp format causes everything to slow way down to a point that I sometimes think my PC is frozen when I try to save my work. All that compressing going on is time consuming and especially when you want to open a file while the customer is waiting. My PC has a quad core processor as well as 3 gigs of RAM so that should be helping work around this problem.

If Flexi did not do all of the compression of the files this might not be a problem but there seems to be no way to change how Flexi processes these files... or is there? Any suggestions guys and gals??

are your jpg's and bmp's full scale and highres? i usually work half-size tiffs at 150 dpi.

Hey Gray, what version and OS are you using?

I try to not use the hi-res files but now I'm thinking that I could lower the resolution way, way down when I can. I am using the latest version of Flexi with Vista Home Premium. Thanks for the input.
