With D2009 supporting several image formats including PNG, is there a way to save the background image of a DBRichViewEdit as something other than a bitmap?
My database sits over a TCPIP socket in a central location with both a windows client and a browser client. The Windows client has problems saving detailed images because of the amount of time it takes to transfer the binary data in bitmap form.
I currently load images using a TPicture and redraw them to a TBitmap.Canvas.Draw(). This makes a very large chunk of data. Some images can be extremely large such as x-rays and MRI images.
Is there some other way to store a background in RVE? I need to allow for text to be typed over the images.

Thanks. That's what I suspected.
My users have the ability to create documents so to prevent confusion with my users, I will store backgrounds separately. This will also give me the ability to control size and aspect ratio to maintain the original proportions.
As future enhancements for background image,
1-the ability to store backgrounds in any format as in table backgrounds.
2-the ability to scale images and maintain height/width proportions so the image is not distorted.
Thanks again.
