CS4 Illustrator - converting image to JPEG keeping exact image & transparency

I'm fairly new to Illustrator and am learning as I go along. I've been working on a logo with Illustrator and have been working on converting the file to a JPEG. On Illustrator, my logo has text and an object with a transparent background. I then "exported" the file to JPEG. But in the JPEG file my image appears on a white background. So it looks like my logo is embedded in a white 'box'. How do I keep the background transparent in the JPEG image? Help! Thanks.

You don't and you can't jpeg does not support transparency.
PNG and gif do however if used for the web. If using for print you can keep it as an ai file to be used in ID or Quark 8

Losing metadata after TIFF to JPEG conversion in Image Processor

When I use Image Processor to convert TIFF to JPEG for my images I am losing metadata information placed in the Properties section of my image file (PC). Is there a work-around for this so that the information isn't lost? Any idea why this is happening?

Possibly the tiff is 16 bit.
In Full Edit click Image à Mode à 8 Bit/channel
Then save as jpeg.

Converting tiff images into jpeg

I would like to convert tiff images into jpegs with iphoto. I dont want to duplicate all my photos and then have to delete one by one!
How do I do this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The short answer is that you cannot. You will have to export the files via the File->Export->File Export menu option, selecting jpeg as the format and checking the box to include the keywords and comments, and maximum size. Then import the jpgs and delete the tiffs.
You can get all of the tiff files together by doing a search for .tif. Then do a Select All (Command-A) and go to the export menu. Export all to a folder on the desktop. Import the new jpgs into iPhoto.
To get rid of the tiffs once the jpgs are imported do another search for the tifs and select all again. Then type Command+Delete. That moves the tiff photos to iPhoto's Trash bin. Then empty the bin.
If you have multiple files with the same file name you'll have to do some renaming before the export. You can batch rename them using the option Title to Date/Time or just date alone. I use the date taken as the file name as that gives me excellent chronological sorting and searching by filename for dates.
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. 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.

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.

Does Web Module size and convert RAW images to jpeg?

I have never used the Web module before. It looks pretty straightforward but I have one question:
What about images? Does Lightroom take the original RAW images from the library that I've chosen to go into the web site and 'pare the down' or re-size them to be appropriate size for the web site and I assume it would also convert them to jpegs in sizes needed for preview and for thumbnails?
I assume that when you start the 'machinery' for Lightroom to build the web site that it will put all of the images needed as copies from the originals into a proper folder that can be then uploaded to the web?
Thanks,
Ken
PS: if I choose a flash template, which are pretty nice, does it also include the flash module so that people can run the flash presentation on their computers?

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.

Converting PNG images to Jpeg

I am operating with iPhoto 6.0.6 and have a lot of recent wedding photos that were sent to me in PNG format. How do I convert these images to jpeg? I've found lots of shareware for conversion but nothing that will run on a mac.

Is there any reason to convert them? PNG is just as portable as JPEG.
You can export png from iPhoto and choose JPEG as the destination format using the File -> Export command.

Programatically convert Excel workbook sheet to an image (bmp or jpeg)

My client has a requirement for me to convert an Excel workbook sheet to an image of any kind, bmp, jpeg, ect. This is a batch Java 1.5 application and I have generated a spreadsheet using JExcelApi. Now I need to email the spreadsheet as an inline image ... the client does not want an attachment. I'm using the Spring framework Mail api to actually email it. This api requires inline content be an image. Therefore, I need a way to programatically convert Excel to an image.
I've done my homework and researched for many hours now, but have not come up with any solutions. I also looked at 3rd party tools googling thru pages and pages of converters, but they all seem to be GUI tools to manually do the conversion. Aspose.cells looked promising but it only supports .Net, for this functionality. Please suggest a 3rd party tool, or provide a code sample of how to do the conversion.
Thanks!

hi
if u are using jdk u may try this for saving an Image img to an OutputStream out in jpg format
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.*;
JPEGImageEncoder imageEncoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);
JPEGEncodeParam encodeParam = JPEGCodec.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(img);
encodeParam.setQuality(.75f, true);
imageEncoder.encode(img, encodeParam);
Hope it helps !

Converting images to Jpeg

I have a number of RAW files and would like to convert them to Jpeg post editing. How do you do this with is software?

In order to save as jpg they must be 8 bit files, since jpg is an 8-bit format. If you mean you don't see jpg as an option in Save As in the editor, go to image>mode>8 bits/channel first and then try.

Why am I getting a "-01" after my differently named Exports in Illustrator CS4? i.e.: JPEG and PNG files.

Again, the files I am Exporting are assigned different names than the CS4 Illustrator file and/or any other files in destination Folder.
Thx.

OK. Just tested not using "Use Artboards" and it did not add "01".
Odd that it started doing that after several years of not doing that.
I'll just have to add a box around the Page edges so it will crop correctly for me.
Live and learn, Scott.
Thanks much for your your help! )))

JPEG size and image losses in Flash CS3

I am creating a website for a wedding and using the photos of the couple on the website. I created designs in Photoshop CS3 with the following settings:
Document Size: 6.25" x 8.25" or 1875p x 2475p @ 300pixels/inch
To use the image in flash, I used "Save As" in photoshop to convert image into JPEG with "Quality 10 Maximum" setting.
I created a Flash CS3 document with the following settings:
Document Size: 6.25" x 8.25" or 494 x 550 pixels
I imported the JPEG image from photoshop into flash and came in an image much larger than 6.25"x8.25". I resized the image in flash with constrained dimensions to 494x550 pixels and it the text shadows and glow lost its clarity.
TRIAL 1
Obviously something was wrong. So, I went back to Photoshop and used the save for web/devices option and saved it as a high quality JPEG. Same result.
TRIAL 2
This time, I tried a different trick in Photoshop. I went to Image->Image Size and changed the image resolution to 150pixels/inch and used "Save As" again. I imported it again to Flash and now the image was too small.
How do I match the image "save as" from photoshop to the flash document size so that I dont lose resolution? I used Zoomify in photoshop successfully without losses. Why is it not possible to just import an image to look the same way a JPEG file appears?

Hi,
screen resolution is 72. So if you save your jpg at 72 with the desired size in pixels, the image will appear just fine inside flash, but, two things to keep in mind:
-What counts is size in pixels. Resolution only matters when you go printing (where the rate between inches and pixels is needed). For web you have to watch the size in pixels only. Even if resolution is different from 72, if you scale the image to the original size in pixels it will be displayed well in the flash movie (if the movie itself isn't scaled neither)
And, it isn't the exactly same to import to scenary that to import to library. When you import to scenary (ctrl+r) sometimes flash resize the object, so maybe you get some distorsion in jpg files. Going to transform panel or in property inspector panel you can set the image size to 100 percent again. When you import to library you have to drag the image into the stage, and then the image will appear at 100%.
i hope this helps,
Jorge

How do i convert raw to jpeg in aperture

How do I convert raw to jpeg in Aperture 3 ?

I find all this rather strange! I often convert RAW to Jpeg if I want to keep an image for reference but it doesn't merit or require the 8 to 10MB of the RAW file (on my computer, my external drive, or anywhere else). For example, I take photos of artefacts in museums, and I also photograph the labels/legends beside them, for reference. I can keep those solely as quite small Jpegs since I'm never going to want to print them.
(No, I don't want to switch settings on the camera while I do this - I'll only forget to switch back, and then have loads of low-res Jpegs that were meant to be glorious RAW).
In other software I've used, there's a batch convert that makes this very simple. Seems that in Aperture I'm obliged to export and then re-import. Not a big deal, but a slight pain in the arse all the same, and a little odd.
Anyway, thanks to the above posts, I now know how to do the export-import malarkey. I couldn't find it in the manual.
cheers,
Helen
