Captivate 4 export backgound images as jpeg

I am trying to use Captivate 4 in conjunction with another piece of software for creating web help files.
I am using Captivate to create software demos for training purposes. As this will also generate the screenshots I need for my web help files, I would like to export the background images created in the recording process. Furthermore, I would like to export them as "not bmps" - i.e. jpegs.
Any help on this would be useful. I don't want to have to use a 3rd party batch converter, I want captivate to be able to either take the screenshots in jpeg format or export them as jpegs.

If you right click a background image in the Captivate 4 library and choose Export from the context menu you get the option in the Save As dialog to save as JPG.
But this only works for single images. If you select multiple images to be exported from the library the option changes to Save to Folder. You don't get to vary the export file format from the standard BMP file format.
If you ARE going to export software screenshots from Cp, I would personally suggest you use PNG format instead of JPG because the compression algorithm in GIF and PNG files is far more efficient for graphics that have large areas of flat colour. JPGs are better for photos and anything that has lots of gradients, but it tends to make screen text look slightly fuzzy.

Problems Exporting RAW images to JPEG in Lightroom 1.1

I have used LR 1.1 with much success in editing, then exporting/burning JPEG images. But now, I am shooting in camera RAW (Nikon D40x), and when I attempt to export the edited images to JPEG files, I get the message that an error has occurred during export, and the files do not burn to jpeg. What can I do to correct this?

It will convert all images to jpegs, resize ... however you set it up ... and yes, it is so straightforward as it seems to be .
It makes no sense to upload RAW files to the web for public use in the first place. Second, LR does not touch/change the RAW files. Therefore, how would it be able to integrate your dev settings when using RAW on export?
You can add the ftp target in LR and it will upload directly to your web server.
If you choose Flash-based, people need to have the Adobe Flash player installed on their computer. The Flash player itself is not part of the LR setup. Most of people already have it installed and who doesnt will be asked to install it.

JAI export of images on laptop have wrong colors

Has anyone come across a problem where the exportation of image formats (jpeg, png) from JAI end up with almost negated colors that the original? I have an application that draws to the Graphics of an Image object, and I successfully export that AWTImage using techniques found here in the forums. My PC works great but my laptop ends up with a dark green instead of white background in the saved file.
Here is the code I use to convert a java.awt.Image to a PNG file:
public void exportPNG(Image image)
  if (image == null)
    return;
  try
    JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
    if (chooser.showSaveDialog(this) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
      this.repaint();
      this.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
      String filename = chooser.getSelectedFile().getCanonicalPath();
      OutputStream output = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(filename));
      ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
      pb.addSource(image);
      pb.add(DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE);
      PNGEncodeParam.RGB encodeParam = new PNGEncodeParam.RGB();
      ImageEncoder encode = ImageCodec.createImageEncoder("PNG", output, encodeParam);
      encode.encode(JAI.create("format", pb));
      output.close();
      } // ends if
    else
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Image export cancelled", "Cancel", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    } // ends try
  catch(Exception e)
    String message = "Could not export the image because of the error:\n " + e.getMessage();
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, message, "Error", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
    } // ends catch(Exception)
  finally
    this.repaint();
    this.setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor());
    } // ends finally
  } // ends exportPNG(Image)
Does anyone have any ideas?

I heard back from a Sun staffer and apparently I was using the JAI code incorrectly. The oddity is that I was getting a legitimate result on all non-Windows 2000 machines. Here's the distinction if anyone else has this issue.
// This commented block causes image corruption on Windows 2000 machines.
// The corrected version can be found below.
// ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
// pb.addSource(image);
// pb.add(DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE);
ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
pb.add(image);
PlanarImage imgSrc = JAI.create("awtImage", pb);
pb = new ParameterBlock();
pb.addSource(imgSrc);
pb.add(DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE);
The rest should be as above in the original posting.

Why does the image go blurry when I export my file to jpeg from Illustrator CS6?

Hi,
I have created an image on illusrator CS6 and am ready to save it.
I have saved it as a pdf format and the image stays as a sharp vector image and not blurry at all.
But I also want to keep the image as a jpeg. So when I go to export the image from illustrator CS6 as a jpeg, the end result comes out blurry and not sharp anymore, but more jagged on the edges of the image.
Is there anything I can do to keep my file as a jpeg with it staying as a sharp crisp image?

The image above is a screenshot of the ai.file
Above - second image is the screenshot of my export settings
the 3rd image above is a close up zoomed in part of the image - the edges are jagged and blurry

Flash CC crashes every time I try to export an image

I just downloaded the free trial of Flash CC because I wanted to test it out as a drawing program. I just finished an illustration and want to export it as a .JPEG, but every time I try, Flash crashes! I tried creating a new file and just exporting an image of a small circle, and even that caused the program to crash.
I don't want to have wasted a free trial and be unable to use or access these images after the trial runs out, simply because I cannot export them into image files.
Any help would be wonderful, thanks.
(I am using a desktop Mac, if that makes any difference)

Are you on Mac OSX 10.6? Flash Pro CC is not supported on Mac 10.6 and this crash is one of the known issues on Mac 10.6.

How to export antialiased images of PDF pages?

Hello all:
I recently upgraded to Acrobat XI, and I am surprised to see that you STILL cannot export (or Save As) PDF pages to images that are ANTIALIASED!? Does anyone have a simple answer for this that doesn't involve a workflow of more than 5 steps? This is so headslappingly obvious a need that I'm at a loss for what Adobe's engineers are thinking when programming the Save As Image functions...
I posted this question all the way back in 2009 (see post at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2411677#2411677), and still the answer is the same: when Acrobat saves pages as TIF or JPEG files, they are ALIASED. Who would want that? Who?! WHY?
It's simply exasperating that Adobe does not include a tiny, little check box that says "Antialiased" in the "Save As TIF / JPEG Settings" dialog box where you set all kinds of parameters like resolution and colorspace....If the exporting process would just include antialiasing, you could set the resolution you desire and YOU'RE DONE.
But, as far as I can tell, you still have to perform some kind of gymnastic routine like:
Open the PDF and select all the desired page thumbnails to export.
Right-click and choose Extract Pages. Make sure to check "Extract Pages as Separate Files."
Export all the separate PDFs for each desired page into a folder somewhere.
Open Photoshop and start recording an Action.
Open one of the PDFs and specify the desired resolution.
Save it in a desired location in an image file of your choice (TIF/JPEG).
Stop recording the Action.
Delete the resulting image you made of the test PDF page to avoid an overwriting error later when running the batch (or check box to overwrite in batch dialog).
Run the Action in Batch mode on the entire folder of separate PDF pages.
This is preposterous.
Adobe, please get the simple things right for everyday low-level users before adding feature bloat to Acrobat with each passing version. Please.

Hi Dave: Good points about reducing feature bloat and installer footprint taking priority for most users...
However, if, as you say:
Acrobat and Adobe Reader are developed as a standalone product family....
Ultimately, since you can get an AA bitmap of a PDF file by just opening it in Photoshop etc., there is very little commercial demand for Adobe to include that feature in Acrobat.
then, those people who do not have Photoshop (because AA is designed to be standalone, right?) cannot access antialiasing in exporting PDF images at all! Your point is exactly my point.
If there is so little demand, then why include Export to Image functionality at all? Just eliminate it completely to save installer footprint space!....But, then, I'm sure you realize people would complain about that immediately, no? So, again, why include it at all when it's only able to export aliased images which virtually nobody is going to want? That's very passive-aggressive toward's Adobe's users. Nobody really benefits from half-baked features only begrudgingly included in software to placate the vocal minority of users who would otherwise miss it. I realize this isn't a huge issue for most users, but I think this points to a larger mentality within Adobe and the software industry in general....
There is a huge number of people working in corporations that own legacy versions of AA who have not and will not likely subscribe to Creative Cloud! (e.g.: The 100-person architecture/engineering firm I worked at for 10 years had one copy of Photoshop on a community graphics workstation and made everyone use a sign-up sheet to access it.)
Also, it's nice in theory that PDFs are supposed to be a print format. But, many many times, AA users have to make images (for PowerPoint, blogs, client portals etc.) from PDFs that they did not originally create and do not have the source files to recreate or export as images from their originating software. PDF export to images from Acrobat is their only choice without access to Photoshop.
And, if AA is truly designed to be a stand-alone product, untethered from the capabilities of the entire suite of functionality across Creative Cloud apps, then a modular plug-in approach to controlling feature bloat would be more appropriate, no?
For example, AutoCAD is a giant, sprawling application for technical drawing. And AutoDesk has recognized over the years that AutoCAD is used by many industries, each with special needs unneccesary to other industries' user base. So, they've created add-on packs of plug-ins that transform vanilla AutoCAD into AutoCAD for Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Bridge Design, Home Building, etc....see where I'm going?
And Adobe has a far larger installed user base for Acrobat than AutoDesk does for AutoCAD! How about plugins like AA for Technical Publishing, AA for 3D modeling, AA for Presentations?...

Exporting quality image problems

Hello all!
Hello, and thanks in advance for helping me out!
I am fairly new to Aperture 2... When I exported versions through Border FX, with a copy write signature, I chose to export "JPEG - original size". When I looked at the photo through quick look everything was perfect, but when I opened the photo to take a look at the result (in preview) the picture had lost an incredible amount of sharpness. As a matter of fact, the exported version had lost any focus of the picture I see in the aperture window.
Surely this is not normal, and I am guessing there are better settings to export. My two questions are...
1. Considering I do want my signature with the photo, so what would be the best settings to get a sharp focused jpeg?
2. Is this just a product of looking at the photo through preview? I wouldnt think so, but I thought It might be an answer...
Thanks again!
Nathan

I am having a similar problem whenever I export an editied RAW image to JPEG. I've set the quality all the way up and toyed with the color modes, but nothing works!!
I'm so discouraged about using Aperture.
here is a screenshot. Look at the photo on the left and notice how the details are clearly more defined than on the right.

I have problems with uploading images to my printing company have the images have been manipulated through CS6 i have saved images as jpeg but the printer company tell me they are not j peg, they will not upload images save from a camera are fine

I have problems with uploading images to my internet printing company when the images have been manipulated through CS6 and i have saved images as jpeg the printer company tell me they are not j peg,
but images saved from my phone or camera images that have not been manipulated upload fine, What am i doing wrong?

Save/Export them as JPG. Photoshop defaults to PSD, so make sure you select JPG and not just rename the file to .jpg.
There are two ways to save them as JPG: Regular Save as option or Save for Web & Devices
Take your pick.

Exporting still image - how do I stop motion compressing the original image

I wanted to see if I could take a still image in motion and isolate an object as Aperture 3 can't do this. I imported a photo of 5mb. I isolated a shot or my printer, cut out the background and filled it in with a white background. The printer fills most of the shot. When I export the image as eg a Tiff or jpeg the resulting exported image is only 600kb at most.
I've tried starting my motion project as multimedia large and HD1080i which gives a slightly higher file size.
How can I export such an image so that the exported still image is 4mb approx? As quality is needed for magazine pictures. I thought I had found a way to avoid buying photoshop!
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you have large areas of white, they do compress well - either in TIFF as RLE or LZW, or in JPEG, so if the quality is good, I shouldn't worry. But use TIFF or PNG instead of JPEG. JPEG is a lossy compression format.
Happy New Year...

Export background images in bulk

Does anyone have problems exporting background images in bulk? After I capture a series of images and try to export them all at once to an external library, only the first few images export. Additionally, their names are cut off in the new folder. Any suggestions?

Since I cannot designate a file location for each background image (this is under the "type" column when you select the "update" feature in the library), I need to force that location to a drive on my computer. Therefore, I need to export all the background images to the location on my computer than reimport those images into different projects.
I don't understand why Captivate does not allow background images created using the software simulation manual mode to be exported in bulk. It is very time consuming to export than one at a time.

Converting raw images to jpegs using PSE 11

I have started to capture only RAW images from my Sony NEX 7 camera. However, I wish to be able to send JPEG images to my friends ( prior to RAW editing ). How do I convert/copy my RAW images to JPEGs using PSE 11?
Thanks
Derek

After you're done in camera raw (or in your case, without doing anything, but you'll just get the default conversion, because you MUST convert the files), click the Open button, then save in the format of your choice in the editor. JPEG is an 8 bit format so you will want to either set the raw converter's pulldown menu to 8 bits or you will need to go to Image>Mode> 8 bits/channel in the editor. If you're emailing, you can also use Save for Web to size them down if necesary.
If you use the organizer, you can just use file>export as new files and be sure to send the jpgs someplace easy to find.

Is there a way to export a slideshow to JPEG without a background?

Hi, I'm using LR4 to do a basic sign with many text overlays on a background image in Slideshow. I would like to export this image as a jpeg and then print it as an 8x10 to put in a frame. However, when I export the slideshow to jpeg or PDF, I'm getting the black background behind the image. I have nothing checked in the "Backdrop" menu on the right hand side. Is there any way to remove this background in slideshow? Is there a way to do this in another module instead? I want more than just a watermark so didn't think Print was the right way to go.
Example of my print preview below with black background.

Looks like you won't need to use the Develop module–Follow the below instructions
1) An 8" x 10" image with 300 ppi resolution = 2400 x 3000 pixel dimensions. Make sure your background image has at least that resolution or higher!
2) Next from inside the LR Slideshow module drag the 'Top' guide all the up so the image fills the frame vertically:
3) Next go to 'Export JPEG Slideshow' and manually enter Width = 2400 & Height= 3000. The exported Slideshow JPEG should be perfectly cropped and sized providing the original background image is 8x10 aspect ratio:
4) You are ready to make your print!
P.S. Please excuse my typo showing 3000 x 24000 it should read 3000 x 2400!

How to export binary images

I am a neuroscientist developing a brain atlas and am using illustrator to produce the images needed.
Basically I need to open up an .ai file that contains the brain image. I need to fill that with black, remove parts of it
(haven't figured out how to do that yet) and export it at a specific location within the canvas and make the canvas a specific size.
I need to export that as a .jpeg or .gif with only 2 colors. I then need to repeat this process 700 times.
Is there a way to remove a part of an image quickly?
Is there any way to export with only 2 colors? (binary image)
Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.

1- The images are in vector format
2- I am using version 14 but will be using version 15 when my lab gets it.
3- I don't have photoshop, though I have used it and fireworks a long time ago
4-

or try brainmaps.org
A brain atlas is an atlas of the brain. In my case a rat brain. Not much different than an atlas you would be familiar with. It contains images and coordinates showing where areas and structures are. Since the brain is 3D a brain atlas is also in 3D. It is usually organized by having slices (think loaf of bread) placed one after another on separate pages of a book. We get the pictures in the atlas by staining the brain with chemicals that make it change colors. Then we cut it into sections on a braincutting machine and put it on a microscope slide to take a picture.
In our lab we use electrodes to listen in on what brain cells are doing. This brain atlas will allow us to show where our electrode tips were in the brain and what areas we were targeting. It is mainly for presentations and teaching.
I will be using illustrator to produce binary images of the essential stuff in exactly the right places. Once I have those I have some computer code that will stack those images together to make a 3D brain.
My biggest problem is exporting with only 2 colors in the entire image. I should be able to use my programming knowledge to take care of everything else.
I have never used any graphic vector software before so any help I can get is greatly appreciated.
