Converting Multiply Bitmaps to JPEG's?

Hi.
Is there a way to say convert 100 Bitmap images to JPEG using Photoshop? Instead of opening up & saving each image which would take a long time. Photoshop compresses the JPEG to really good qualty over 3rd party apps.
thanks.

A simple Action can do this and for an entire folder.
Create the Action with one Bit-map image Open, use Image>Mode>RGB if necessary, Save_As JPEG, Close. Once created, go to File>Automate>Batch (syntax might be slightly different depending on version). From the dialog screen your new Action will probably be already there, but check, and if not load that. Set your Source Folder, your Destination Folder and any Naming convention that you might wish to use. Check Bypass Open (again, syntax might differ), so that the images do not need to be Opened. Hit OK, and sit back.
I do similar when Scaling images for Video, from my camera's resolution. This ARTICLE talks a bit more about that, and the Action will be very similar. Now, I list using PSD's, but just substitute JPEG.
Good luck,
Hunt

Migration--Bitmap to Jpeg from Oracle8 to Oracle9i

I'm having few thousand bitmap photos stored in Oracle8 database in a Long Raw column. It's taking lot of space.
I'm planning to migrate to Oracle9i. Please advise how to convert these few thousand photos from bitmap to Jpeg format in Oracle9i database.

How are you going to store the images in 9i?
My hunch is that the only way that you could convert from BMP to JPEG inside the database would be to have the data stored as interMedia image objects. I don't know for sure whether interMedia can do that conversion, but that's the only Oracle technology I can think of that could (well, unless you want to write Java or PL/SQL code that does the conversion).

Emailing from iphoto sends as bitmaps not jpegs

Since upgrading to Leopard all of my iphotos that I email to friends with Windows show up to them as bitmap format, not jpeg as before the upgrade. Have others had this problem since upgrading to Leopard and does anyone know how to correct it? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have your System preferences set to use the extension? If the image file is added to a email without an extension then it may be converted to bitmap by the PC at the other end. Make sure there's a .jpg extension added to the file name.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg.

HI,
When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. I seem to have tried and read so much but just can't figure it out. How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. Or do a have to use a different system? I have Adobe Bridge. Or can I upload directly into photoshop?
Also how do you install dmg's properly I am having problems installing them?
I have a Mac OS X 13 inch Version 10.6.7
Advice desperately needed
Thanks

Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
According to this excerpt:
To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
which is at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?

How do I convert a pdf to jpeg?

How do I convert a pdf to jpeg?

Hi JPMartin3,
In order to convert PDF file to JPEG, you'll have to use Adobe Acrobat XI. The link of the product page is mentioned below:
http://www.adobe.com/in/products/acrobat.html
You can also download the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI which is fully functional and offers every feature of the product for you to test-drive and will work for 30 days. Link to download trial version is mentioned below:

How do you convert a SWF to JPEG?

We have 10,000 SWFs (and their FLAs), but need to create a
JPEG of each SWF to see a thumbnail of them in a DAM.
Aside from the very manual method (make screenshot of the
SWF, resize it and convert it to a JPEG in Photoshop/Bridge) what
are my options in order to either A) automate this process OR B)
come up with another process using either the CS2 or CS3 suites?
If there is another process to do this, what would this be?
Remember, I am starting with a SWF and I want a JPEG, but I
am keeping both. I have seen plenty of information on how to embedd
JPEGs into SWFs, but I am not interested.
Anyone have any ideas on this topic?

You say you have their FLA's. The image should be in the FLA
right? The original is linked inside as well right so you should
already have the original somewhere that you could work from
instead of going through the FLA file. Now, if you added other
graphics and so forth to in the FLA and want to export that
instead, goto file/export/export image and select JPEG Image.
Not sure if you can automate this though. You might be able
to make an Applescript to do this, perhaps. Otherwise I suggest
getting some interns in there ;-)

I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?

I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?

You know that you lost the layers when you saved it as a jpeg, right? But you're saying you can't add layers to the jpeg now when it's open in the editor? Go to Image>mode and be sure it's RGB, for starters. Are all the commands in the Layer menu grayed out?

You do this when you export - it's in the File -> Export dialogue.

Hi,
I am having similar problems. I have read somewhere that png format can not handle CMYK colorspace anyway, which I find odd (and plainly stupid IM(NS)HO) which would mean that converting to RGB and therefore using profiles is mandatory.
May be you should check if the internal format of the png files claims it is RGB or CMYK (using ImageMagick's "identify" command for example).

In iPhoto 11 imported tiff files remain tiff after editing. I need to convert to large file jpegs. How? using the "export" function they become too small

I thought imported tiff files would be converted by iPhoto to JPEGS in previous versions of iPhoto. this might have been a disadvantage but my current project requires JPEGs as the final product.
thanks for any guidance
Jim

Drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the desktop or export as kind = JPEG
As to too small - what is too small? The pixel dimensions of the exported JPEG will be identical to the original TIFF - the file size is smaller because JPEGs are compressed - which of course reduces file size - which of course is the reason that JPEG exists

Converting Srcipt output to JPEG image

Hi all,
I have a requirement which needs my script output to be converted to JPEG(scaned image) and archived.
I have the data in OTF format in my print program, the FM CONVERT_OTF_AND_ARCHIVE supports only PDF documents. Is there any FM or way to convert my OTF to JPEG?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

For the flip animation i want to apply "rotationY". When i apply mc.rotationY=45, It automatically converth the vector into Bitmap.
i tryed mc.cacheAsBitmap=false;But still it converted to Bitmap.
I need the rotationY as well as the card remain Vector. How to do this...
Thanks,

My code is
mc.cacheAsBitmap=false
mc.rotationY=40;
mc.cacheAsBitmap=false;
its still seems still bitmap....is there any way to disable cacheAsBitmap?

Using QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT movie?

Can I use QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT (uncompressed) movie? Thanks...
Windows XP

Yes.
One of the features of the QuickTime Pro upgrade is "Open Image Sequence". It imports your sequencially named (1.jpg, 2.jpg) liked sized images (any format that QT understands) and allows you to set a frame rate.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
You can also adjust the frame rate by adding your image .mov file to any audio clip. Simply "copy" (Command-A to select all and then Command-C to copy) and switch to your audio track.
Select all and "Add to Selection & Scale". Open the Movie Properties window and "Extract" your new (longer or shorter) file and Save As.
As you've posted in the Mac Discussion pages but your profile says XP you'll need to subsitute Control key where I reference Command key.

HOW TO CONVERT RAW FILES TO JPEG RGB 8 BIT in iphoto

Can someone please tell me how to convert RAW files to jpeg RGB 8 bit in iphoto on an iMac?

How are you trying to "export to Mypics"? The only way to get a Raw out of iPhoto is to export with the Kind set to Original.

Converting cr2 files to jpeg files...

How do you convert several cr2 files to jpegs in lightroom?

You don't really "convert" the files to JPEG. Those raw files are your master images that you continually maintain in Lightroom. When you need a JPEG copy you use the export function in Lightroom to export a JPEG copy that includes all of the adjustments that you have made in Lightroom.
