| The Compress Image dialog |
Compressing is useful if you insert a high resolution image in a document. For example a 4000x4000 pixel image in bitmap format (BMP) is approximately of 48MB size, which can turn you document edition hard in constrained-resources computers. By compressing the image with the right format and quality index you can reduce the size of the picture with no loss of visual quality and have the document file much lighter to edit.
Enjoy!
