Do you have specific examples of the image size problem
I import images in many notes and just tried an example on my Mac
Image size: 3,212,076 bytes (3.2 MB on disk)
The note size says 3.1MB in Evernote,
but the actual note folder says: 3,655,378 bytes (3.7 MB on disk) for 9 items
Actual note files are listed to the right. There would also be a database entry but it's insignificant in size
>>or is there a compression issue when storing images in notes?
I'm seeing no compression at all with the untouched photo
