How can I create a jpeg thumbnail image?

I'd like to create a clear jpeg thumbnail image of the first page of a document created in InDesign.  It will be used in Constant Contact as a link to the online version of the document.  (Constant Contact doesn't take JPEG's)
I especially need help making it crisp and clear.
Thank you!

And there will be occasions when it's not better, and there are alternative ways to get better results.
You may not have tested every situation and font, but I've done enough to know that sometimes it doesn't work as expected. And it wasn't a "challenge", it was an observation.
Here's 3 ways to make a JPEG - and the one that is the best is the one that was exported to PDF and then opened in Photoshop and then Saved as a JPEG.
.........Direct Export .........................Export PDF................................Export PDF
.....to JPEG.from ID.....................Open in Photoshop.............Save to JPEG from Acrobat.
(EDIT - The forum is adding extra compression to the images - I assure you the middle image is the best)

  • How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
    So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

  • How can you create a jpeg from video in imovie 13?

    In imovie11 you could hit share, convert using quicktime, and then select mov to jpeg or gif.  that option is not available in imovie13?  Anyone know how to create a jpeg or gif in the new imovie?

    When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

  • How can I create a single background image for a BorderLayout?

    I can create a background with an image file for the individual panel (North, West, Center, East and South) in a BorderLayout, but I've been spinning my wheel for a long while now trying to figure out how to create just one background with a single image file for all of these panels?
    In my application, a panel may contain various buttons, a listbox, a group of checkboxes, a combo box, or a canvas. Even if I used the same image file, when the panels are finally put together, one can clearly see that the end product is the result of a lot of patch works.
    Hope someone has an answer for this. BTW, I'm using AWT because it works with existing browsers without the need for a separate Java plug-in.

  • How can I create a bootable DISK IMAGE of my PB Internal Drive?

    I would like to make a bootable image of my Hard Drive but without including any Free Space.
    You see all I need on the image are the OSX and the programs, NOT the 60GB of Free Space. Disk Utility however wants to create a 80gb image which includes 60GB of Free Space.
    I would like to use the Bootable image as a source image to use with the RESTORE function in Disk Utility.
    Regards

    You'll need a second machine or an external HDD with Mac OS X installed on it.
    For purposes of this procedure I'll be calling your machine the 'source' and the second machine or your external HDD the 'target'.
    First either boot the source into target mode by holding down the 'T' key while it boots. Once you see the FireWire icon on the screen, let go of the 'T' key and plug the source into the target. If you're going with the external HDD route, boot your source of off your external HDD.
    Now, select the drive of your source machine, and hit Apple-I to bring up the information pane. Down at the bottom (in the permissions area) you'll see a check box labeled "Ignore ownership..." Uncheck that.
    Open up Disk Utility. Select the source drive and run First Aid and Repair Permissions on it.
    Now, select the File menu -> New -> New Disk Image from Folder. You're going to want to hit that big "New Image" button, but don't. Trust me. It'll only cause trouble for you down the road.
    Select the source drive as the source. You can leave everything else the same and click "Image".
    Select the target as the destination. Click Save.
    Wait for a couple of hours (depending on how much stuff you have).
    When it's done, select the Images menu -> Scan image for Restore.
    Select the disk image you just made and click "Scan".
    When that's done you have a restorable image. Just use the restore tab to restore it.
    I've done this literally hundreds of times and it's worked every single time.

  • How can I create a gif slider image in PS?

    Right now I have a jquery slider on my homepage but I would like to replace it with a gif image. Is this possible?

    I don't see why not. Keep in mind gif is a poor format as it does only has 256 colors, one of which is used for transparency. Meaning a single shade of gray for transparency vs. 256 shades of gray for transparency in any other format that supports transparency.
    I don't think I have ever used the word transparency so many time in one paragraph. LOL...

  • How can I create an iBook using iBooks Author using images from a PDF?

    I have a complex book with custom fonts and lots of images, and the client wants it on the iPad. So my most reasonable option seems to be to take images from a PDF and use them for the pages. However, images in iBook Author don't get "laid out" as expected in Portrait mode. How can I  create a layout that is essentially one image per page in portrait mode, and then convert that to landscape mode? Or is there an easier way to go about this?

    tk0us wrote:
    Make sure you have disabled portrait in the Inspector.
    I don't understand why portrait mode defaults images and other "widgets" to thumbnails. The original format of the book (and of 99% of all books I'm guessing) is in portrait format. By forcing the book to work only in landscape mode it's forcing the page image to be half the size, and that makes using this book particularly difficult. Is there no way to force the pages to be full-size in portrait mode?

  • How can I create clearer, sharper images and buttons in Muse?

    How can I create buttons and images that have a vector like clarity? When I upload images (buttons, jpegs and pngs) a lot of the time they seem to have a slightly fuzzy quality to them. I have read previous posts on this matter and none have helped. Any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    When you place your images in exactly the size you saved them in Photoshop or whatever, Muse doesn’t touch it.
    The quality in this case is the quality you saved the image.
    The best way is, to examine in Muse the available pixel size of the image and then use Photoshop to obtain this size
    A helpful widget to examine the potential size of an image in advance, is the "lore ipsum"-Muse-widget, that you find in the free widget collection "Andrew’s Prototypes":

  • How can i create 256 colors (8 bits) jpeg ?

    Dear all :
    The jpeg created by JPEGEncoder was in true color (24 bits) , how can i create or convert the jpeg to 256 colors . Because i want to convert the jpeg to gif in further , but the gifencoder i found can only accept the images that with 256 colors only , so any one can give me a help ? Or the ways that convert a jpeg to gif using java ?

    To reduce the number of colors in an image, try:
    http://www.gurge.com/amd/java/quantize/
    This does a very good job of reducing colors without making the image look too different.
    Further, if you want to encode a GIF file, try using:
    http://www.acme.com/java/software/Acme.JPM.Encoders.GifEncoder.html
    There should be some sample code which shows you how to use those packages on their respective websites. Hope this helps!
