Hi,
There is no fixed limit, but if the images are stored in the catalog at some point there could be memory issues (32-bit program, limited to 2 GB) and speed issue (reading/writing the catalog files).
To avoid such issue, there is always the possibility of storing images as external files (either in the catalog's folder or in a subfolder). There are options in the Preferences to specify how new images should be stored, an a command in the Tools menu to convert existing images.

Thank you so much for the reply, I do store the images outside the catalog, so, I'm good.
