Export as resized JPG

Hi Guys,
I am trying to find a way to export a page as a resized jpg (150px width, 219px height) All the contents of the page also have to be resized. So a perfect thumbnail is produced.
This will be happening on the fly as the page is saved so the script cannot interfere with performance to much.
I have spent hours on this now can anyone please help me?

Hi Guys,
Thanks heaps for your input. The script needs to be in VBScript as there is also a chance it will be VB.net.
The script I have at the moment resizes each page item using a loop then resizes the page and exports as a jpg. This is no good to me because the jpg needs to be output when the page is saved so it also involves resizing page items back to original so the user can continue to work.
I don't really care to much about the quality of the exported jpg(or gif I suppose) as long as all page items are viewable.
The size just needs to be close
I like the sound of the DPI theory whoever I don't understand the maths to calculate the correct output

Adobe Illustrator Export to JPEG (*.JPG) vs ICC Color Profiles vs Behance

Hi,
I work with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014. When I export my projects into *.JPG format (using both: 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Export' and 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Save for Web') I use ‘Embed ICC’ profile option. Every common image viewer I use (including web browsers and Adobe Bridge) respects those color settings and displays exactly what has been embedded. But when posting on Behance, my color settings are converted into something else! The only solution is to place my Adobe Illustrator file into a new Adobe Photoshop document , then export it into .JPG (with embedded color settings) and then post it to Behance. With this workaround my colors look pretty correct.
Did someone experience the same and could explain why Behance doesn’t respect the Adobe Illustrator export with embedded ICC profile settings?
one thing more – even if my *.JPG produced with Adobe Photoshop (the correct one) is displayed correctly, the cover photo (taken from the original) is still converted into different (Behance’s default??) color space. I believe this shouldn’t work this way. Is there any workaround to this? Is there any way my covers (miniatures) display the 'true' colors?
Please advise
Best Regards,

ok. I give up. It seems that Adobe Illustrator can export only to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF) and Behence doesn’t fully support this format (for example it cannot read its icc color data correctly):
(JPEG) Formally, the EXIF and JFIF standards are incompatible. This is because both specify that their particular application segment (APP0 for JFIF, APP1 for Exif) must be the first in the image file. In practice, many programs and digital cameras produce files with both application segments included. This will not affect the image decoding for most decoders, but poorly designed JFIF or Exif parsers may not recognize the file properly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format#Exif_comparison)
I’ve analyzed my files using JPEGsnoop 1.6.1 (really cool app by Calvin Hass, http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/) and here is what I’ve found:
A) *.jpg produced with Adobe Illustrator > File > Export > JPEG > ICC profile embedded:
*** Marker: SOI (xFFD8) ***

length     = 16

length          = 1320
Identifier      = [Exif]
Identifier TIFF = 0x[4D4D002A 00000008]
Endian          = Motorola (big)
TAG Mark x002A = 0x002A
EXIF IFD0 @ Absolute 0x00000014
Dir Length = 0x0007
[Orientation ] = Row 0: top, Col 0: left
[XResolution ] = 720000/10000
[YResolution ] = 720000/10000
[ResolutionUnit ] = Inch
[Software ] = "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (Windows)"
[DateTime ] = "2014:08:02 17:21:15"
[ExifOffset ] = @ 0x00A8
Offset to Next IFD = 0x000000D4
EXIF IFD1 @ Absolute 0x000000E0
Dir Length = 0x0006
[Compression ] = JPEG
[XResolution ] = 72/1
[YResolution ] = 72/1
[ResolutionUnit ] = Inch
[JpegIFOffset ] = @ +0x0132 = @ 0x013E
[JpegIFByteCount ] = 1006
Offset to Next IFD = 0x00000000
EXIF SubIFD @ Absolute 0x000000B4
Dir Length = 0x0003
[ColorSpace ] = sRGB
[ExifImageWidth ] = 200
[ExifImageHeight ] = 200
So unfortunately the only option to produce the EXIF JPEG from an Adobe Illustrator project is to: Export *.ai file to JPEG (under Adobe Illustrator) > go to Photoshop > Create new project > Paste the *.jpg > and Sava As JPEG with icc embedded.

Export RAW to JPG question

Hello,
Here is once again a problem that I guess has to do with color management, and I'm having a hard time figuring out my mistake.
I'm editing my RAW files in Lightroom 5 and then export them to JPG (my settings are JPEG 100% / sRGB / no sharpening or any other editing option).
Then, to compare the RAWs and the JPGs, I import those JPGs back into Lightroom to make sure I'm seeing them with the same color profile (as I guess the basic "Preview" application I'm using on my MacBook is not color managed).
My problem is that the JPGs are much brighter than the RAW files (see screenshots).
I didn't calibrate my MacBook Pro's monitor (I'm just using Mac OS' standard color-LCD preset), and I'm not expecting other users to see my pics the way I see them on my screen, I'm ok with that, but I thought that on my own computer I would not see any differences between my RAW files and the JPGs I exported from those RAW files.
I found some similar threads on that topic, but usually the problem was that the users were checking the JPGs in a tool that was not color managed, and so it would not match what they saw in Lightroom, but since I do check my exported JPGs in Lightroom, I assumed they would be represented within the same color space, with no noticeable differences...
I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong!
Thank you!

To tell you the truth, a client asking for a 3MB JPG is a very meaningless thing to do.
Any time you are changing the number of pixels on a side, you are changing the image quality. Any time you are forcing the photo to be a certain size in MB other than the maximum, you are accepting a certain reduction in image quality. Which is worse? It all depends on the original, and how much change you are asking for.
So, that's my answer ... IT ALL DEPENDS.

LR3-Library-Export-Image Resizing: Specifying Pixel WxH results in different WxH - tips please?

This is a multi-dimensional question (he he). I understand my problem is related to the original/developed WxH ratio. If the pixel WxH I spec in Export-Image Resizing doesn't match that developed proportion, the results are not what I want. In other words LR3 keeps the original/developed proportion and not what I want for that export. Ok, so I just answered my own question - but..... please give me some library or export tips for doing what I want to do.
What I do:
1 - I edit my images in RAW and like to keep them in their original proportions from my Canon camera as that is the proportion of HxW i use the most
2 - Later, if the image is really good (at least I like it), I may export it for different purposes and then may choose or require a different proportion.
3 - I would really like to not have to re-crop in Develop, then go back and Export, then go back to Develop and change it back to original.
Besides being tedious and time consuming, can anyone recommend a better way for me to do these "one off" exports (seems to happen more often lately) without screwing around in Develop and messing up my original work?
Background:
One of the reasons I do this is to create wallpapers for computers, for various printing/framing proportions, and then for web site situations. Windows XP (and I think the others) gets really slow if the program must re-size an image for wallpaper (why? go ask Mr. Gates... better get in line). So to keep performance high, it is best to create the image in the exact pixel dimensions of the monitor. This is always some weird number and not like anything else I do this for. The other reason is for a quick, custom print job for someone who wants an odd matting setup for framing (don't ask). This results in odd proportions. Regarding the web.... well smooshing a pic into a column etc. etc... Now while I am proud of my art and understand LR3 will expect me to re-crop to preserve my artistic brilliance, but really..... I would be happy with a proportional crop from the parallel sides of the offending dimension.
Also, when I spec a dimension, shouldn't the DPI gray out? What am not understanding here?
One last request: please give me tips on solving for world peace... this one really bugs me.
Thanx in advance!

Bruce,
As you correctly noticed, the WxH ratio in export represents a canvas, into which the exported image is fit. Here are some illustrations on what the different settings mean:
For what you are trying to achieve, you have to crop the image to the correct dimensions before doing the export. If I had to do it, I would create virtual copies of the original image as the last step and give each virtual copy its own crop, then export the virtual copies.
Bruce in Philly wrote:

The DPI resolution has no meaning for the size of the resulting image if you specify pixels in your export dimensions. But the resolution tag is written into the image, which might affect the way an image is printed, depending on the printing application.
But if you specify your export dimensions in inches or cm, the resolution together with the dimensions in inch/cm determine the size of the resulting image in pixels. I.e. if you specify 5x7" and 300DPI, your exported images size will be 1500x2100 pixels.

Export Objects to JPGs by ObjectStyle

Hi all,
i'm looking for advice and help in scripting the follwing:
I have an InDesign document with multiple pages and certain elements/groups that i'd like to export to JPGs. Every element or group i'd like to export, has a certain object style applied for identification purposes.
Now i know that it is possible to export selections to JPGs like described in this thread. As i would need to select the items manually in the linked scenario, it isn't an automated process. Basically i need the same thing as the export selection to JPG script wihtout selecting the elements but identifying them by a certain object style instead.
Every help attempt is highly appreciated.
Regards, Martin

ollah,
var myBestObjectStyle = 'myBestObjectStyle';
var currDocPageItems = app.activeDocument.pageItems.everyItem().getElements();
l = currDocPageItems.length;
while(l--){
    curPageItem = currDocPageItems[l];
    if(curPageItem.appliedObjectStyle.name === myBestObjectStyle){exportToJPG(curPageItem);}
function exportToJPG(someFunnyPageItem){
    someFunnyPageItem.select();
alert('fireYourExport here ...')    ;
gives you the page item -> run the export from there ...

LR 5.3 export with resize option not resizing

Hello!
Just updated my LR to 5.3 from the CC and noticed a weird problem that I never encountered before in LR4 or 5.x (before 5.3 that is).
I usually export pictures from RAW format to either TIFF or JPG (100% quality) and depending on purpose I use batch resizing, e.g. 1080 pixels on short edge ... well that whole Resize setting gets ignored by LR 5.3! It still exports full size (full RAW size in this case) into JPG or TIFF, but it won't resize ... is it a bug or I am doing something wrong here?
EDIT:
I found out that I checked the "Don't enlarge" box in Export dialog under Resizing, that's when resizing was not working. After I unchecked it then it works fine, but still what does that have to do with anything if we are talking about downsampling images from 5184x3456 pixels to 1620x1080 ...

It's a (reported) bug. Exportant provides a fix for it.

Print module - exporting to a .jpg file - borderless printing

I'm attempting to export a picture as an 8 x 10 .jpg file in the Print Module - I want the image to be borderless. I have gone ahead and changed my page setup to reflect the same dimensions, I've removed margins and I've also gone into the Layout section and adjusted my cell size dimensions and removed margins...I can't seem to get two borders to disappear - if it's a portrait image, the sides have white borders and if it's landscape, the top and bottom have white borders.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. If more information is required, let me know. Thanks!

If your image is not in exact 8x10 (4x5) aspect ratio, you'll need to select the "Zoom to fit" box.

IPhoto 5 not exporting images as jpg anymore

Hi all
Yesterday I downloaded the trial version of Fireworks to be able to do some work on my web site. Previously to the download I could export images out of my iPhoto and have it displayed in my finder as .jpg . After downloading Fireworks the images are sent to finder with just the name I've given it with no .jpg. I've tried, in the export box, to change it to jpg when prompted but this doesn't work. Suddenly all the pictures I try to export are not accepted by my web site.
I tried loading the pictures to Fireworks and then saving them but again when looking in the finder under pictures there is no jpg, or any other attachment with the pictures.
I have since un-installed Fireworks and restarted m computer but the problem still exists.
Any thoughts?

Michael:
Launch Image Capture and make sure iPhoto is selected as the application to launch when you connect your camera. IC's preferences is where you make that selection. Did you run any updaters shortly before this started?
As a note if case you have iPhoto delete the memory card after the upload I suggest you do not as there have been too many cases of incomplete uploads and complete erasures. It's safer to have the camera reformat the card.

How to export layer in jpg files ?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to develop a plug-in for Ai CS4 in which I need to export all the layers in jpg files. Could any one tell me the API that can help me to do so ?
or any suggestion how I can do this.
thanks in advance.

Well, the AIRasterizeSuite (AIRasterize.h) will have tools that let you convert sets of art into raster objects in Illustrator. And the AIArtSetSute (AIArtSet.h) has methods that let you construct said art sets from the contents of layers. From there, you'd have to take the contents of the generated raster objects and save them out manually to JPEG.
Oh, just found another that might be what you want. AIImageOptimization.h has methods like 'AsJPEG', which seem to take an art handle (which could be the group at the root of a layer from the sounds of it). So that would presumably let you do dump that to JPG. It uses AIDataFilters though, and I don't know how those work.
I think this has come up before in this forum, so if you do da little searching you might come across some better help than me. It's definitely doable though.

Exporting images in jpg format...

Hello everyone,
For some reason my iphoto is not able to export jpg format images, while initially it was doing so without any glitch whatsovever.
Any idea/solution???
Please help!!
Thank You.

in iPhoto select the photo(s) and export (file menu ==> export) as a JPEG
(select photos & export)
Are you exporting as JPEG as suggested?
it's not recognising my jpg files.
What is "It" that does not reconise the JPEGs you exported from iPhoto? have you tried Preview?

Exporting B/W jpg Problem

I have a wierd problem with InDesign CS4. I have a blank document and I put a black frame on the page and then export the page as a jpg file. When I open the jpg with Photoshop it opens in RPG mode, with the black frame having K = 91.
1. Why isn't this jpg being exported in grayscale mode?
2. Why isn't the jpg being exported with the black area K = 100?
How can I make this work properly???

It's not a bug, it's a feature. The Display setting doesn't matter (after all, it's just *your* display), but the Output one does. That way, if you have a color-on-black object and 'normal' black objects, you can see the difference: the color-on-black is darker than black. Just like when it's printed. The only way ID can simulate a color "darker than black" is by making the regular black lighter.
Anyway, it seems you have found a solution.
[Post-Ed] Peter's right -- please read the first paragraph the other way around (he's also right on PS having more to-the-point options).

IPhoto '08 loses exif data when exporting RAW to JPG

I'm using a Canon 40D shooting only RAW. I just recently noticed that when I export to JPG, iPhoto loses quite a bit of important EXIF data, including, aperture info.
Is this a known issue, or is it something unique to my system?

I guess I misworded it. I understand that the info doesn't go away or come back. Either there's a problem in both Finder and flickr (I've uploaded the file to flickr.com) where neither finds the info in the jpeg or there's a problem in the way iPhoto writes the EXIF data to the file.
Today, I downloaded EXIFViewer for an alternate look at the EXIF fields and the aperture data is there according to EXIFViewer. So, now I think the bug may be with flickr. Can't really call it a bug in Finder, since the expected functionality for finder is not to get "aperture info", but "More info."
In any case, these are the fields in the More Info:
|RAW:Name_|_RAW:Value_|_JPEG:Name_|_JPEG:Value|
|Dimensions|2586x3892|Dimensions|2586x3892|
|Device make|Canon|Device make|Canon|
|Color space|RGB|Color space|RGB|
|Profile name|Adobe RGB (1998)|Profile name|Generic RGB Profile|
|Focal Length|44|Focal Length|44|
|Alpha channel|0|Alpha channel|0|
|Red eye|0|Red eye|0|
|FNumber|4|
|Exposure|1/60|Exposure|1/60|
|Last opened|Monday, May 19, 2008 6:31 PM|Last opened|Today, 9:31am|
And the meta info on flickr is here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/carloscervantes/2536040124/meta/
Again, no aperture data in either flickr or Finder.

Exporting file to jpg

Can anyone help please. I have been trying to export my swf
to a jpg. The picture is going to be used for the background to my
site. The dimensions of the image are 1000px by 1 px. I get a
message that I can not export with anything less than 4px width.
Does anyone know a work around? (I don't have photoshop)
Thanks

Hmmm.. Since you dont have Photoshop, im sure you have MS
Paint, =)
open that up, and do some editing in there, maybe that will
let you save your 1px jpg...
Although I have no idea what you could be showing within
1px... =)

Exporting NEF to JPG

Getting very frustrated with Aperture 3. I have tried it a myriad of ways but I dont under stand how if I select EXPORT, VERSION, JPG, ORIGINAL SIZE, 300DPI to my desktop, I wind up with a 600+kb file from a 14MB NEF file. Can someone point out what the deal is?? Thanks in advance.

"Original Size" refers to the size of the Photograph and not the file sie - so we're talking length by breadth here. What you want to look at is the Image Quality setting. The Higher the setting, the less compression involved, and so larger file size.
But remember as Jpeg is a compressed, lossy format, the Jpeg will never be the same size as the NEF.

D3 export versions as JPG to folder--random images fail to export

When trying to export a folder of versions as full-size jpgs (to a holding folder for burning on a DVD), I will get a random number of failures. For example, the export will complete and then list 48 of 218 that didn't export. The number of bad exports appears to vary and no particular image is affected. I have some success individually exporting the ones that failed, but this is a pain and isn't really an acceptable workflow option.
I don't have any export problems with D2x or D2Hs files.
Any ideas? I'm using Tiger and Aperture 2.01.
Thanks,
Gordon

Interesting.
This isn't the first D3 issue I have come across...
See this thread here and let me know if you are having this issue as well:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1400823&tstart=0
I was using 10.4.11 with AP2 for about 3 days and never had any problems exporting. I wasn't able to really exercise the program though either. Though I guess I wasn't exporting that much anyway because all the D3 images looked bad.
I would say it is definitely something to do with 10.4 and AP2 with D3 files.
Submit some feedback to the black hole...
