When displaying multiple bitmaps at the same time in the preview, VPE tries to balance the color-palette between these bitmaps.  Sometimes this can lead to wrong color representation on 16- or 256- color displays. Printing will always work without problems.

Frames around bitmaps may make problems, because there is always the possibility of a one-pixel-error (see “WYSIWYG”). A gap may occur between the picture and the frame. If you use frames that are too thick, they will overlap the picture (see “Important Note About Pens, Lines, Frames, Circles and Ellipses”). This doesn't matter if you have pictures with a white background, but the best solution is to have the frame in the image-files itself. Or - because of the problem with the gap - make the frame a bit thicker, so that a possible gap will be hidden.

You can turn off the frame around pictures by setting PenSize = 0.
