I am embedding a picture by filling a comment box. I have a number to do in each of my 3 tables. With each picture being 2.5 MB I had to shrink the size of the pictures first. The last 2 tables worked great, the whole file size is under 1MB. But the first table I did the file saved much larger, 37 MB. I looked at the size of each of the 20 pictures I used and they all ranged between 30 - 45 kB. so I started to troubleshoot and I removed one picture at a time and resaved. The file size did not decrease until all "comments" (pictures) were deleted. Then the file was down to 37 kb. From there I would add one picture and my file would baloon to 37 MB again. I would delete the "comment" and add a different picture and it would baloon once again.
How does a file increase from 37 kB to 37 MB just by embedding a 40 kB picture?
