31.7.1 Compressing an Image File

You can compress an uncompressed image (including images created by previous versions of
ZENworks) by 40 to 60 percent of the original file size.
You can compress an image in two ways:
"Compressing an Opened Image File" on page 460
"Compressing an Unopened Image File" on page 461
Compressing an Opened Image File
Use this dialog box to set compression options so that it takes less time to restore the image file or
less space to store the file on your Imaging server.
IMPORTANT: If you have used Delete to hide files in the image, they are removed from the image
during compression.
To compress the image file:
1 Click File > Open.
2 Browse for and select the image file.
Large image files might take a few moments to open.
3 Click File > Compress Image.
