Hey Mayada,

I'm dealing with this headache as well. Pasting a picture into an Omnis
picture field results in an image that is formatted in the age old PICT
format, which Omnis does not seem to want to convert to anything. Even
if you set the picture field to a specific format, it will try and
convert the image and loose it.

But load in a PNG, or JPG or many other formats from disk and you can
convert it just fine. There are only a small number of formats that
Omnis can only display but for some strange reason, not convert.

Annoying but alas.

Cheers,

Bas
