Multiple RGB color definitions

[Terry Smith]

PNG is a great format for screen captures and other bitmap images. It's
small, and it works well in both print and online output. However, if
the "wrong" settings are used for saving the PNGs, the FrameMaker color
catalog becomes bloated with RGB color definitions. (Okay, the settings
aren't really wrong, just problematic for us FrameMaker users who don't
want to scroll through zee-billion RGB color definitions.)

To fix the problem:

1 Open in a graphics program and resave the PNGs; make sure you don't
subset the colors. In other words, don't select any options such as
"optimize" and be sure to save in the highest number of colors that the
graphics program lists as an option.

(The PNGs are imported by reference, yes? If not, you'll need to
reimport them.)

2 Save the FrameMaker file as MIF to clean out the unneeded RGB color
definitions.

3 Open the MIF file and save it back to FM format.
