Default Picture problem?

My problem is that i have scaled down the picture in photoshop and i want to save it as a jpeg. (it's a product picture ) But when i import it into x-cart gold 4.0 the picture gets turned into a bmp. so file size jumps from 23kb in jpeg to 333kb in bmp. Is there anyway around this? can i force Jpeg in x-cart?

Thanks, in advance

P.s its for my 56k customers lol

i wouldnt say that this is the case. xcart would not alter the filetype of your image.

maybe your viewing the page and then doing a right click and save as and getting a bmp

if you have the images stored in the filesystem you should be able to view them easily that way

Use the Photoshop 'Save for the web' option to compress the image for the web.
