Importing graphics files: size limit?

[Art Campbell]

Well, yes, FM would have to process the entire graphic before it could
figure out how to scale it, I think. Also, it would have to run
through an external filter during import, and that can be time- and
memory-consuming.

Many people use a standard operating procedure of scaling graphics to
approximate size using an outside application (Photoshop, Illustrator,
etc.) before importing.
