But it makes them TIFFs
Authored by: todbot on Nov 19, '03 06:04:38PM

While this is a wonderfully easy thing to do, the drag-n-drop/clipboard manager turns the small GIF/JPEG/PNG viewable on the page into a (uncompressed?) TIFF file.

For instance, the image http://www.macosxhints.com/layout/Classic/theme-images/osxhints2.jpg is a nice small 8 kB JPEG that gets turned into a 65 kB TIFF. Not such a bad deal, until you inadvertently drag-n-drop that 600 kB JPEG from your digicam into Mail and it turns into an 8 MB TIFF.
