Image format conversion (.SDT to .JPEG / .BMP / .TIFF images)

Hello All;
I am developing a Labview software module for our TCSPC (Time Correlated Single Photon Counting) laser microscope. A part of my module generates .SDT images via the Becker-Hickl SPC-830 photon counter. I want to convert those images to BMP / JPEG / TIFF within labview if possible,
Does anyone has done this before, or has any idea how to do this?
Thanks,

First, thanks to all who replied. Second, i do have the full developmental version of labview. Third, i developed a VI that takes in the .SDT file and uses "read binary file" to extract 2D Integer array data and passes it to "flatten to pixmap" function that passes the image data to the function "Write Flattened Pixmap" and then a picture to show the result.
When I try this VI on an SDT file, i get this error:
Error 116 occurred at Read from Binary File in Untitled 1
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: Unflatten or byte stream read operation failed due to corrupt, unexpected, or truncated data.
I have also attached the VI that i made,
Please help if anyone knows whats wrong..
Thanks once again,

HP 8500 will only allow me to scan jpegs, bmp, tiff, but won't allow me to scan a PDF help

tried everything i can think of even to create a preference for documents and PDF isn't listed.

I'm having the same issue with my hp psc 2175 all-in-one. Sometimes it does scan in document but I can't get it to do this when I want it to. Help!!

How to compress image files, jpeg, bmp, gif, png, tiff, etc

I am new to Jave imaging, does anybody know how to compress an image file, including jpeg, bmp, gif, png, tiff format.
Thanks

some are already compressed.
If you just want generic compression, it doesn't really matter what type of file they are. A simple approach would be to use ZipOutputStream

How to disable the automatic conversion from JPEG to TIFF?

I am using Keynote '09 and Safari 4 on OS X 10.6.8, and I often want to drag and drop a JPEG image from Safari to my slides. I would like to keep the image format as is, but Keynote automatically converts the image format from JPEG to TIFF, so the .key file size becomes large.
Does anyone know how to disable this automatic conversion? Any idea? I know that I can use the original format if I save the JPEG image at a temporary location, such as ~/Desktop. But I would prefer simpler way. Drag and drop is the best.

Indeed, having the same problem here. A simple PPT file that was 1 MB ballons often to more than 10 x the size as a KEY file. If you rename to zip and open, one notices lots of completely useless "PLACEHOLDER" and background files that occupy several MB in total, plus some small JPGs have been converted to very large PNGs. This is truly annoying.
A similar lack of "file size economy" is present in all applications apple produces for the ipad/iphone. Images I uplodaded to the photo app become very large (often 10 x bigger). WTH apple? Be more economical! Even my 64 GB ipad2 is starting to feel small with your waste.

When i omit the line OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(saveFile);
and write only
ImageIO.write((RenderedImage) bufferedImage, outExtension,saveFile);
//out.flush();
then saving the image even in "png" also fails.
The following is the error code:
Note : FileMenuController is my file where the saveImage() is wrtten.

When importing Raw into A3, in what format is the picture displayed? Jpeg or tiff.

When importing Raw into A3, in what format is the picture displayed on the screen? Jpeg or Tiff ?

None of the comments you have gotten are particularly useful. The display is independent of format of the file. It's rendering is of the full pixels in the image file that you have imported, modified by any adjustments you have made, or not if you ask to see the Master.
Even if your Master was imported as a JPEG, as seen on the screen it would have been decompressed, and you would see all the pixels (that the screen is capable of). However, a JPEG may have lost some detail in the compression, but when decompressed has the same number of pixels as the equivalent uncompressed photo format -- but some of them may result from interpolation, and not be the original.

How to convert raster images like( PNG, JPG,GIF, BMP, TIFF etc) into SVG

Hi Friends!
With a hope that any Java Guru from SUN Forum can help me to solve my query, I'm posting my thread here.
I have a project with feature to add image. My requirement is to convert any selected image file like (PNG,JPG,BMP,Tiff) into SVG Formate before adding it to Frame.
I found one software from the link :
http://delineate.sourceforge.net/
Which covert raster to SVG.
But I don't how can i use it runtime ?
I want to convert during runtime process. like when user select option for to add Image then it call a procedure to add Image by converting any raster to svg & finally add to Frame.
Your any help/suggestions wold be appreciated
Regards
Kirti

There are basically two approaches:
1. Embed the raster image in the SVG
2. Vectorize the image
1. Use Batik, or just write the XML yourself. Create some SVG files with embedded images, the syntax isn't to difficult. You could do it with a PrintWriter.
2. Good luck to you. Writing a good vectorizer is
- difficult
- often pointless
- though a great challenge if you're in to it
The appllication you mention actually is only a front-end. it doesn't execute the vectorization itself. It uses Potrace and autotrace, which are native applications.

I wish to export several still images from iMovie as JPEG or TIFF. Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to add a freeze frame to extract the desired frame but I can't export it. Thanks.

I wish to export several frames from iMovie as if they were images (like JPEGs or TIFFs). Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to 'add a freeze frame' to isolate the desired frames but I can't export it. Thanks.

Ach... I found a solution thanks to previous posts which came to light after I'd posted what was obviously a question that had been asked before.

I use images for presentations. Recently I've noticed a decrease in quality ( sharpness and definition) of pictures copied into Keynote. Same problem with both JPEGs and TIFF files. I've recently upgraded to keynote 09, but with no improvement.

I use images of paintings for presentations. Over the last 3 months or so I've noticed that I cannt copy images (either JPEg or TIFF) without a reduction in sharpness and definition. Hope someone can help with this problem.

Figured it out myself! yay! (only took my entire moring)
The solution:
Dont print to PDF!
SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

What is the best format to import images into iBA? How should I compress my images before importing? What is the best file format? PNG? Jpeg? I'm trying to figure out the best file format / compression for importing images into iBA. Also, does anyone know how iBA will compress the file? Are the assets attached (like a website) or flattened out? Does anyone know how iBA handles this? Many many thanks to anyone with insight into this.

This question is largely answered by the following thread...

Jpeg Compressed Tiff images

I am trying to open TIFF files that have Jpeg compression but QT does not support this combo. These have become very standard in the document storage world as type of thumbnail/baby image. Anyone know how to get in contact with someone at Apple to see if they can add this capability? You can view plain jpg and tiff files with QT but not the Jpeg compressed TIFFs.

Can you please post the code that you are using? com.sun.media.jai.codec.TIFFDecodeParam --> this can help you out.

Other than screen shots, for printing purposes, I want text and photo on jpeg or .tiff formats? The printer only accepts jpeg and tiff and can't use screenshots.

Exporting RAW to JPEG and TIFF

Evaluating LE to hopefully improve some workflow. I noticed however, that when export to a JPEG or TIFF format the file size seems much smaller that I'm accustomed. A D100 9.5MB RAW file converts to appx 2.7Mb JPEG at 100% and appx 7MB in TIFF. Currently when I convert I get a 17-20MB JPEG. I'm I missing something in the setup or is this the larger file size LE produces.
Murray Edwards

Excuse me Lightroom. I currently use Portfolio 8 to review and tagged a large number of images for production. They have a conversion process that allows you to convert a NEF file to JPEG or TIFF. When converting to from a NEF file that is appx 9.5MB in size to a JPEG at 100% @300DPI which is what my clients require, it produces a a JPEG file that ranges from 17-23MB depending the amount of information. But I still have to pull that image into editing SW to do some cleanup or slight exposure adjustments. It was my hopes that by using Lightroom, I could slimline a couple of these processes. But if LR only provides a exported JPEG file size of what I've seen thus far, then I would unable to accomplish this.
Is this better clarification of my question?

Can I automate the writing of XMP metadata into JPEG and TIFF files?

I have written an ASP.NET 3.5 website application on behalf of an annual international photographic competition. Entrants will be uploading digital photos in either JPEG or TIFF format. Ideally, I would write entrant identity and image title information into the XMP metadata for each image immediately after upload - but so far, I have failed to find any way to do this in ASP.NET.
Thousands of images are involved, so I need to find a way to automate the metadata insertion, perhaps with some sort of script that uses a text file (extracted from the SQL Server database on my website) as the source of the metadata for a batch of images. Is this the sort of task that can be done by writing a script for Bridge CS3? Are there any scripts already in existence that I could use? I am a total beginner in this area.
I use a Win XP PC, though I have a colleague who, I think, has CS3 on his Mac (running under the Leopard OS), so scripts for either platform might be usable.
