Having a digital image of a moulding profile or a piece of consignment art can be invaluable as a reference. Images can be stored in many different files in FrameReady.
Update: FrameReady 12.2.2+ can help you resize images to 600Kb in size to help keep your database size manageable. Use the Resize button to scale the image down to a useful size for storage. See: Resize Digital Images
You can import images of:
retail products
customer’s artwork
pre, during, and post production images of the framing techniques for a Work Order
moulding profiles (especially helpful for mobile framers and galleries).
Images can be imported from any digital file or catalog.
Photos can be added from an iOS Device. See: iPhone and iPad Apps
Caution: FileMaker Inc has deprecated the "Store only a reference to the file" feature. This means it may be removed from future versions of FileMaker Pro.
Avoid using the Store only as Reference to the file option. Also, avoid importing large image files. If you can resize before importing, this will help prevent the database from becoming too large.
Important:
Apple devices support “High Efficiency” photos in the HEIC format. However, this format cannot yet be read by all or any computer. Adding such images into FrameReady may prevent you from seeing or printing the photo.
The solution is to disable “High Efficiency”:
On the iOS device, open the “Settings” app
Tap into the “Camera” settings
Look for “Format” and change from “High Efficiency” to “Most Compatible”
Many moulding companies have web sites where you may capture catalog profile images. Having them in your FrameReady program allows the cutter in the back room to double check the selection of a moulding on a certain work order.

Use the Resize button to scale the image down to a useful size for storage.
