Photo Overview

You can add a photo to your database.  One photo can show on the view screen.  If you need to add additional photos, you can associate them with the contact using the View Client With Files Screen.

Photos are stored in the database as a JPG file.  If you don't have a JPG, don't worry, Advisors Assistant will automatically convert your photo to a JPG, compressing the file and reducing the amount of space needed to store it.

Maximum Size

The maximum size of a photo that you can add is 5,000,000 bytes (5 MB).  It is not recommended that you add too many large photos because they just use up space and screen resolution where you view them is much less than camera resolutions.  A 5 MB photo is a very large photo and few cameras that take JPG files will require a larger file.  A cell phone will typically take a 1 to 2 MB photo.

Free application, such as Picasso, are very good at converting photos to a smaller format.
