I want to clarify a typo...
The formats I tried to convert to were ".jpg", ".png", and ".tif". I
wrote "ipng" below for "png" format.

Hi Steve,
I tried converting the images to .jpg. ipng and .tif using CONVERT
PICTURE. Each format I tried resulted in blurry images.
To follow up on your question... I opened up a window that displayed one
of the images that is stored in a field. I copied the image into
Preview on a Mac, then saved it as a .png file format. That worked fine.
To verify, I then copied the .png image back into my 4D database and
saved it. That image was also stored properly -- without being blurry.
I have a work around for changing the format of the images, but I really
don't want to do this one-by-one for each image that is in every
customer database that will eventually need to be updated.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Ken,
Just curious...
Do you get different results if you use a graphic's application for
the conversion?

Subject: Poor Image Quality When Converting Pict Image to JPG and TIF
Using CONVERT PICTURE
I have a table that stores all of the images that are used on reports
and labels, and some of them are PICT format. Since this format is
not supported on 64-bit, I want to convert them in v15 prior to
migrating over to v17 64-bit. However, when I call the following line
of code, the resulting image is blurry.
CONVERT PICTURE([Logos]Logo;".TIF")
I also get the same issue when trying to convert to jpg:
CONVERT PICTURE([Logos]Logo;".JPG")
Any thoughts how I can best convert the images in my data file without
losing any quality?
Thanks,
Ken
