I notice that if a CDR file contains bitmaps in it, the file size would become unreasonably huge.For example, I have a JPEG of 1.61MB. If I import the JPEG into a blank CDR file, with only the JPEG in the file, the CDR file size becomes 8.34MB.
I wonder what are the "excessive" information that is stored in the CDR file which causes the huge jump in file size.
You're importing a compressed JPG file Draw enters its actual size into memory.
Does that mean the JPEG (or any JPEG) actually still contains the uncompressed information within the file? I just tested with illustrator. With the 1.61MB JPEG imported, the AI file is 14.8MB, which is even bigger.How can I keep the CDR file small with a numbers of bitmaps in it? I often end up with file size of tens of MB with few bitmaps in it.
