In large organizations, different operating units or departments often have separate logos that they wish to display in their briefing books. You can save multiple logos, which you can use in briefing books, on the home page, and in internet publishing. Images are also used in maps. Images can be either Windows bitmap (.bmp) or JPEG image files (.jpg or .jpeg).
Before you create an image, note the following guidelines:
Large and medium images should be no larger than 256 KB.
Custom images should be no larger than 1 MB.
Large image sizes can have a negative impact on performance in WAN usage.
Table 4‑2 shows optimal image sizes for maps at different resolutions.
