Creating a .gif or .jpg File

I have written an eBook and am sending it for eBook publication and sale.
One of the items required in the process before uploading the eBook is to provide:
A. An image of the book cover. That image is now in Pages format and it contains text and a line art image. I need to convert that cover page to a .gif or .jpg format. How can I do this?
B. The process also requires me to create 'Banners' of varying size. How do I create a Banner? All the material [text and art] are contained in the existing Pages document.
Thank you,
Leo

As far as I know, the only way to get a gif or jpg would be to make a screenshot.
Maybe a PDF may fit your needs. If it does use the Print to PDF tool and print the 1st page.

You may open a blank Numbers document and remove every table.
You will get a huge blank surface which may be more than one meter in width.
Copy objects from Pages and paste then on the Numbers sheet.

QuickTime creating 1% app for .jpg files into "Open with".

After installing QuickTime 7.7.6, I tried to open a .jpg file and I saw a weird 'OpenWith" app name called "1%". I searched the internet and someone stated that it is a broken extension that QuickTime installs and he recommended to uninstall QuickTime to see if that is gone. I uninstalled the QuickTime and that broken extension was removed and when I re-installed the QuickTime, that 1% app was back in "OpenWith".
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-performance/help-how -to-remove-1-application-in-choose-default/1d84241e-fbd7-498b-8da9-458d9ef07036

It is different in Windows 8.1. I know exactly what you were about. I even have checked that location before your suggested it. The problem is with Windows Registry entries that QuickTime creates. Apple should correct all of the reg data that is listed below:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.bmp\shell\open\command]

Where to put the GIF/JPG files so they show up in Forms Developer

Hi:
This refers to Forms 10gR2; Forms Builder running on Windows XP......
Where do I put the GIF and JPG files referenced by the "iconic filename" property so that they show up in Forms Builder? By placing them in the jar file, I can get them to appear at runtime, but NOT in development!
I have tried putting the files in the same directory as the FMB, as well as in C:\DevSuiteHome_10g\forms\java (where the image jar file resides).
In each case, I have included the path in the FORMS_PATH environment variables.
Thanks

Hi,
For design time, you need to use the UI_ICON and UI_ICON_EXTENSION environment variables. Set them in the registry.
UI_ICON=location where you have the image files.
UI_ICON_EXTENSION=Extension of your image files (ICO / GIF / JPG)
Edit :
Refer : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frm10gnewfeatures.pdf
Search for UI_ICON and UI_ICON_EXTENSION

Can't open .jpg files in Key Note

Why are my .jpg files grayed out in Key Note? I've created slides before with .jpg files and don't know why I'm not able to do that now.

describe the process you used to create the slides.
There are four reliable ways to put a jpg on a slide:
Do Insert/Choose... pick your jpg and it appears on the slide. BEST
Copy and paste a jpg from another slide
Drag a jpg file from the finder into the slide editor sidebar which simultaneously creates a new slide with the jpg on it
Include it in a smart build
A less reliable way to bring in a jpg is to copy and paste it from another program, like Word. I have found those images to fail quite often.
Which method did you use? Did they look normal the first time they went in?

Copy .jpg files to a Windows CD

Hello,
I have some .jpg image files from a family gathering that I'd like to share. Unfortunately, everyone else, but me has a PC the CDs I made on my Mac can not be read byt them. Is there some reasonble priced software I could get or a trick to creating a CD with .jpg files that can be read on either a Mac or PC. I saw a thread about creating an .iso file, but am unsure how to do that. Are there instructions somewhere? Thanks so much. Margie

I think burning the CD from the Finder window would do. Just click the burn symbol that will appear on the Finder to make a Mac/PC compatible CD. Sometimes that a file is projected on a PC as a .DAT file - not recognised - write the extension (.jpeg, .bmp, whatever) manually.

I have a problem with my JPG files...

Hi guys, I have a mac osx Lion installation with a Bootcamp partition. In windows, i can see all my photos perfectly, but when i log into lion...these files dissapears.
If i do a ls -l in terminal, the files appears whith a message: no such files or directory.
Whats happens? I've copied all files into a external HDD and there is no solution...

A JPG file is the same for both types of operating system. There is NO difference in the File.
For some reason you are not doing the right thing to view these files. It has nothing to do with the JPG file or the Operating system.
In Windows do a search for *.JPG. Once that finishes and lists all the Jpeg files select them all and press Control+c keys (that will copy them to the Clipboard). Create a New Folder somewhere on the Windows hard drive, it can even by on the desktop, and Paste, Control+v, those JPG file into that new folder. Open Windows Explorer and select the newly created folder with the JPG file in it and again press Control+C. Browse to the Mac hard drive, Macintosh HD, select it and once again press Contro+v to Paste that complete folder to the Mac HD.

Creating a .gif file in QT Pro?!?!

can someone help me out or even let me know if this is possible

What you want to do (create a .gif using QT Pro) can't be done. QuickTime can open .gif files (even preserve transparency) but the saved file will be .mov.
You can create an Image Sequence movie that will resemble the features on an animated .gif file, however.
Create your still images (sized identically) and save them to a new folder using sequencial naming (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc.). They can be any format that QT understands.
Select Open Image Sequence, navigate to this new folder and highlight (single-click) the first file in the list. Click OK and select a "frame rate" for the new file.
QuickTime will assemble your files into one .mov file.
Graphic Converter can now do some work with .mov files and may even be able to export your image sequence. .gif is 8 bit (256 colors) so if you wish to use the .gif format you will lose a lot of data if your original QT import were in any format other than .gif.
Try this freeware to start and end in .gif format:

Gif and JPG save for web file sizes in CS2 and CS3

Gif 64 dittered default CS2=2.63KB CS3=4.83KB
JPG CS2Low=1.42KB CS3=4.03KB
JPG CS2Medium=1.90KB CS3=4.51KB
JPG CS2High=3.38KB CS3=5.99KB
Why? Is there any solution besides keep using CS2 for web?
Thank's in advance.
regards
Fernando Bergamaschi

Each of the three JPG files increases by the same amount -- 2.61 Kbytes. That sure sounds like some common header block is being added in CS3. Did you check the "Optimize menu" button next to "Preset" just to make double-sure "Include XMP" isn't enabled? Or some other setting like that? Or check both images in Bridge to see if something is being added.

How do I create a photo in jpg or other photo format from a frame within iMovie11. The suggestion I have found from earlier versions of iMovie does not create a jpg file that can be revealed in Finder. Help please.

How do I create a photo in jpg or other photo format from a frame in iMovie. The previous suggestions on here do not create a jpg file when you chose reveal in finder when using iMovie11 and OS X

First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
Here is a video I made that steps through this...

How to improve the resolution of jpg files in a pdf created from html

I have a document in html that I need to convert to pdf. If I open the html in acrobat, the images look fine, almost the same as if I open the file in a browser. If I do "create pdf from web page", the jpg files imbedded in the html look terrible in the resulting pdf. Where can I adjust the resolution settings so that the jpg images look better in the pdf?
I need to use "create pdf from web page" because I need access to the options to change the page size, margins, and header/footer, which I can't seem to find when I just open an html file and save as pdf, etc.
LHH_enc

Do you have a particular URL that we can look at to see where the problem might be? As far as adusting margins and such from your browser, those would be in the browser print settings to provide that option. You also would need to check possibly to use the Print or Press settings file to get better graphic resolution. The settings file selection may also be important if you use PDF Maker in one of the browsers that use PDF Maker.

I just paid almost $10 to create a pdf from a jpg file, but I did it so that I could edit it. Now I find out I needed a different Adobe package that would create the pdf AND let me edit it. What do I do now?

Hi Marion,
PDF pack is meant to convert files to pdf format, Here's the feature list : Convert Word to PDF, Convert PDF to Word & Merge PDFs | Adobe PDF Pack
In order to Create, Convert, edit pdf files, one needs to purchase Acrobat Software, Here's a feature list of Acrobat Pro : Features, PDF documents | Acrobat XI Pro
However, you can download a free 30 day trial of Acrobat software using the following link : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html

DNG Profile Editor: Can't create profile from JPG file

Guys, could you tell me why DNG Profile Editor fails to create color table using 4 colored circles ? It says "Unable to check white balance using gray patches. Please use the four color circles to identify the four corner patches of the chart and try again" even though I places four circles properly (it works with DNG files shot with my Nikon D700).
I created this DNG file from JPG file by opening it in Camera Raw plugin and saving as DNG file. Original JPG was shot on camera of Samsun Galaxy S phone. I know I'm crazy but I want to have color profile for it All patches are properly exposed after slight correction of Exposure slider in Camera Raw.
I'm using latest beta3 build
Here is link to DNG and JPG file I'm trying to use
http://www.box.net/shared/4v2rzlzjfp
Thanks!

If you convert your JPG to a DNG can you change the profile to the one you computed from the other JPG you converted to a DNG?
Profiles are not for JPGs. Profiles are for RAW files that ACR supports. You can't (easily/ever) get a RAW file from your Galaxy S and Adobe doesn’t' support that RAW format even if you could.
To see if your profiling is working, you can used the ColorCheck module from a trial version of Imatest that you download from www.imatest.com and look at the color-error.
You can also try the Read_Color_CC24.jsx script from Rags-Gardner:

Creating PDF from JPG files

I scan several pages from a book and wish to compile a PDF file from the scanned JPG files. What I want is the PDF file to be as small as possible, using relatively good JPG files (they are on the order of 300k), so that the fonts don't look too blurry when magnifying the image in Acrobat. My PDF file gets to be very big when creating a file composed of around 100 scanned pages. How can I make the file smaller?
I can't use optical character recognition to convert the text of the page. Much of the text contains mathematical symbols and figures, but is generally just black-and-white.
I feel the large file size of the resultant PDF file is due to all the "white space" of the JPG file. Is there some way to have Acrobat "ignore" the white when creating the PDF file, and then just display the information part of the JPG file on a white background?
Remember, I'm creating a PDF file from scanned textbook pages, not photographs. I would think that there is an optimum way to do this, keeping good resolution of the text (the "black" or non-white information), and minimizing the file size of the resultant PDF file.
Any thoughts?
I have Acrobat 8, Photshop Elements 6, and Windows Vista Ultimate.
Thanks

For starters, you should be sure and scan them as grayscale. Then the "white space" won't be an issue.
Basically the answer is going to be in your initial scan. You need to optimize the files as best you can there first then create the PDF.

Can I create a gif file with hyperlink hotspots?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a gif file in Photoshop or Fireworks than I can upload to a website as a background image to my profile page, but I would like to be able to include a few different hyperlinks embedded within that gif file, so for instance if a user clicks on the text for a website this acts as a hyperlink and opens the site in a new browser window.
Is this possible or not, my knowledge of Photoshop/Fireworks is quite limited but as far as I can tell, this is only possible if I'm exporting the image from Fireworks as an HTML document, and that's not what I need .. it has to be in a gif or jpeg format.
Can someone put me out of my misery please and let me know if its possible to embed one or more hyperlinks within certain areas of a gif file?
Many thanks in advance
Wayne

That's pretty much what I thought Chris, thanks very much for taking the time to reply to my post - its very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Wayne
