PictureBox: internal use of thumbnails?

My Form contains 5 small PictureBoxes, each displaying a large photo
(1600x1200). Since I'm running into memory problems I get the feeling
that each PictureBox keeps the complete photo in memory. Are
PictureBoxes optimized in that they use their own thumbnails? Or should
I create my own thumbnails of the photos and use those?

They do not use Thumbnails, they load the entire bitmap. Create your own
thumbnails for use.
