Image use too much memory

[TheWizard78]

Hi groups

My problem is related to image control.
On my form, I have an image and a button control.
When I click on my button, it assign a jpeg picture to the image object. My jpeg picture is around 571 Kb.
Before I click on my button, if I go in the task manager under process, my vfp8.exe use 25 476 Kb. After I assign my jpeg of 571 Kb, the memory increase to 36 976 Kb. A difference of 11 500 Kb for a jpeg file of 571Kb. Could someone explain me why it use too much memory for a single jpeg of 571 kb..

Hi Robert,

Jpeg is compressed as a file. In memory it is not compressed.
