There is the only one format supported by the current version of BMPreVIEW - uncompressed Windows Bitmap 1, 8, 24 bits (2, 256, 16M color images), loading of RLE8 or RLE4 compressed bitmaps is not currently supported.

You can improve your efficiency by optimizing memory usage. Optimization increases the amount of RAM available on your computer by storing temporary files that are not currently in use in the swap disk space. This artificially increases the amount of memory available on your computer and improves the ability of BMPreVIEW to handle bitmap images.
