Is there an ideal size/ratio for product images in SI5? Are images over a certain size a waste or does D-Tools automatically resize them? I notice that the product window no longer distorts images if they aren't square, but will non-square images still look funky if you use them in reports?

I seem to have found the following by experimentation:

- the max size allowed is 226 x 226 pixels
- all images are resampled when imported, and resized to the max size if they are over in either dimension
- images that are less than or equal to the max size will look significantly better than larger ones that automatically get resized
- images need a certain amount of "safe area" border to work well with reports with images
- there is no longer an aspect ratio issue with images like in SI4 if you have images that aren't exactly square

Sounds like the conversion routine needs some fixing... being over compressed etc...

I'd LOVE to see somewhere where we can also COPY AND PASTE instead of having to save an image and then import it. For example: I go to a vendors web site and grab the clip art from there - instead of saving it - I could just right click and select copy - then in D-Tools just hit paste (me Control4 application does this - and it's amazing!!!! Funny how something so little makes a huge difference).

Or even better, drag and drop an image from your web browser into the product window to add it.
