Can anyone please tell me whether V4 now supports LZW-compressed Tiffs?

Thanks

I had no idea, so I converted one of my JPEG images to TIFF and selected LZW compression. I then added the new multimedia object to the relevant individual, and FH now displays both versions apparantly quite happily.[smile]

Many thanks, PeterR.

Most of my family photos are in LZW-TIFF format and when I first started with FH3 (which didn't support LZW) I had to convert a lot of them. As yet I haven't taken the plunge with V4 but when I do, it's good to know that I won't have that problem any more.

Thanks again for taking the trouble.
