Palette for JPG export

Hi!
When I export BMPs with the "Layers to files" command, I can
control the number of colors by creating a palette.
Can I do the same thing when exporting JPGs "Layers to
files"?
I have not found a way to do this in Fireworks and the
work-around conversion program I use changes the ppi of the image
so it is useless.
I need JPGs because it is the only format my hardware device
(simulation platform) can read and I need it in 256 colors to
simulate what it will look like on the final product. Please help
me!
Great forum by the way!
Kind regards
M

export it as a gif and choose your palette there, then open
the gif and
export as a jpeg at 100% ?

Over-constrained palette in GIF export

Every once in a while, when I am exporting to GIF, Fireworks
seems to over-constrain the color palette. For example, I am
working with a button image that I'd like to export, which has two
subtle gradients, in ranges of gray and green. They are banding
badly in export. I have turned off Snap to Web Safe, I've selected
"Exact" as the export palette (which, as usual, reverts back to
"adaptive" but unusually hasn't loaded an exact palette). My
palette limit is maxed at 256 colors, but the palette tells me it
is only using 108. I've tried resetting the palette every way I
know how.
Furthermore, when I export the same image from Photoshop
(having pasted in as a 24 bit full color PNG) it exports as a GIF
no problem. So I know that it can be done, but I don't want to have
to switch to PS just to export these images!
I've tried all of the preset palettes in FW to no avail. I
don't know why it is limiting itself to only 108 of the 256 allowed
colors, which requires the gradients to be banded. This behavior
pops up on me every few weeks it seems, and I can't seem to see a
pattern in which images are affected.
What's the story? How can I get the export palette to expand
to its full potential? Am I missing something, or is this just
buggy behavior?

Use 100% dithering or export in JPEG format. If you think
it's a bug or
would like to suggest an enhancement to the program, then
fill out a

JPG export preset in InDesign?

Hi all,
Is there a way to save my JPG export selections as a preset? I have to export JPGs of the same document for two different purposes and they have different export requirements. Is there a way to save my selections as a preset the same way I can save my PDF export selections as presets?
InDesign 7.0.4
Mac 10.6.8
Cheers,
Trish

I'm pretty sure it won't be your fault, but I don't seem to be able to fix it. Try this one but it exports the number of pages squared! For example a 4 page document gives you 16 jpegs, 5 = 25 and so on.
What am I doing wrong John? I added in this line: app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_ALL;
//Display a "choose folder" dialog box.
if(app.documents.length != 0){
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder");
if(myFolder != null){
myExportPages(myFolder);
else{
alert("Please open a document and try again.");
function myExportPages(myFolder){
var myFilePath, myPageName, myFile;
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myDocumentName = myDocument.name;
var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"ExportPages"});
with(myDialog.dialogColumns.add().dialogRows.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Base name:"});
var myBaseNameField = textEditboxes.add({editContents:myDocumentName,
minWidth:160});
var myResult = myDialog.show();
if(myResult == true){
//The name of the exported files will be the base name +
//the page name + ".jpeg".
var myBaseName = myBaseNameField.editContents;
//Remove the dialog box from memory.
myDialog.destroy();
//Generate a file path from the folder name, the base document name,
//page name.
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.pages.length;
myCounter++){
myPageName = myDocument.pages.item(myCounter).name;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_ALL;
//Modify the following to change the Resolution. Enter a figure instead of 300
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
//Modify the following to change the colour space. the options are:
//JpegColorSpaceEnum.RGB
//JpegColorSpaceEnum.CMYK
//JpegColorSpaceEnum.GRAY
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegColorSpace = JpegColorSpaceEnum.CMYK;
//Modify the following to change the jpeg quality. the options are:
//JPEGOptionsQuality.LOW
//JPEGOptionsQuality.MEDIUM
//JPEGOptionsQuality.HIGH

app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MAXIMUM;
//Modify the following to change the Rendering Style. the options are:
//JPEGOptionsFormat.BASELINE_ENCODING
//JPEGOptionsFormat.PROGRESSIVE_ENCODING
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegRenderingStyle = JPEGOptionsFormat.BASELINE_ENCODING;
//The name of the exported files will be the base name +

Save for Web Export

I am trying to use the save for web export option to save out a file of type JPEG.
I have gotten the code working fine if it saved out with the default file type of .gif, but I cannot get it to work with .jpg.
set theExportOptions to {class:save for web export options, interlaced:true, quality:30}
tell current document
export in (theLocation as text) as save for web with options theExportOptions
end tell
These are the pertinent lines from my code, so if anybody can tell me how to save the file as type JPEG so that it is a scripted version of Photoshop's save for web feature, that would great.
I am also using Photoshop CS2 v9.02 if that helps.

You would have to code that seperate eg:
FitImage(1000,500);
function FitImage( inWidth, inHeight ) {
   if ( inWidth == undefined || inHeight == undefined ) {
      alert( "FitImage requires both Width & Height!");
      return 100;
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
   var unitPixels = charIDToTypeID( '#Pxl' );
   desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Wdth' ), unitPixels, inWidth );
   desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Hght' ), unitPixels, inHeight );
   var runtimeEventID = stringIDToTypeID( "3caa3434-cb67-11d1-bc43-0060b0a13dc4" );
   executeAction( runtimeEventID, desc, DialogModes.NO );

No XMP files are written for JPGs even when explicitely requested

Morning all,
I have learned not to trust the LR database too much. Thanks to Dan Tull I had my corrupted file repaired, but with 10,000+ tagged and processed RAWs, I do not feel too safe with the database alone. So I have decided to have XMP files written for all photographs. With 1.0 it worked only for my RAW files, not for my JPGs (have no other types).
So I was happy to find a flag "Write XMPs also for JPGs" in the catalog settings of 1.1. However, whether I check it or uncheck it, no XMP is written for JPGs. Neither when I let LR automatically write XMPs nor when I do it manually from the menu...
Anyone having an idea how to make this setting work?
Thanks,
Dirk

The advantage of sidecar files is that they are nondestructive to the original image. So exporting the images is no point.
And that the data written to the JPG contains all the settings is simply not the case. Try it out as follows: get hold of any one JPG in the finder. Import it to Lightroom. Do some strange manipulations on it, crop and go b/w. Then choose "Save metadata to file" from the Metadata menu in Library module. Now go to finder. The JPG is updated indeed. Copy it and import the copy into LR. The new version is the same as the original, no settings applied. And how could it? JPG is a defined format and it does not have room for most of the information that can be put to XMPs. So whatever you might expect from that export will disappoint you should you ever need it ;-)
Anyway, the issue remains: I would not expect LR to write more (e.g. virtual copies) than it does for RAWs, but I would expect it to write an XMP which is what the option offers: "Write develop settings to XMP for JPG...". How can I make it work?

Extremely large jpg exported files - help!

I was previously loving LR3 - used the trial for a month, decided to buy it - had really no problems. The big issue for me is now the jpg export file sizes that are being created. I run all my photos through the develop module to adjust the basics as well as draw in masks, and previously I had no trouble exporting the files as jpg, with the limit of size at 600kb and resized to 960x640 (original photos from 5Dmk2 RAW).
Then I bought the license. From then on it seems that now whenever I do the same exact export it doesn't work! I also used to use the output quality slider and set that at 100% and would get around the same file sizes, but now I'm getting files 2-3x the size of the previous exports. All of the photos have minimal metadata (10 keywords or so, that's it) and the same metadata was present in the exports in the trial version.
Playing around with more export parameters and reading around on this forum led me to try and minimize exif data - this didn't even work - files could not meet the requirements or they still ended up 2-3x the size they used to be.
The interesting part is that when I would delete all development history and set the file back to the original pre-edited RAW and export there would be no problems!
Could it be possible that LR is adding the development data into the metadata that it is attaching to the photo??
This has completely shut down my photo workflow and really is making me regret buying this otherwise wonderful tool.

What I can see in the image is that it contains about (uncompressed) 750KB of XMP data, the major part of it relating to some "PaintCorrection" as follows:

This data results from heavy use of the local adjustment brush. Choosing "Minimize Embedded Metadata" upon export really should solve this problem for you. Please try again specifying this option.
But then, by doing so, you lose any other metadata (keywords etc.) also. To have complete control on what metadata gets written into the JPEG upon export, you could use Jeffrey’s “Metadata Wrangler” Lightroom Plugin.
I noticed one strange thing within the XMP data in your JPEG:
The data seems to be formatted differently than what I see with JPEGs I export ("HasExtendedXMP"), which I don't know where it comes from.
For further investigation, would it be possible for you to upload the Raw file and the XMP file belonging to it to somewhere (e.g. www.yousendit.com) and post a link to it here?

Excise Invoice Settings for Indirect Exports (ARE-1)

Dear All,
When we create Billing doucment for Indirect or merchant exports and prepare J1IIN whith reference to Billing doc, we go to Calculate Tax / Utilization tab, where we has to choose deemed export. By default, on clicking the pencil, the blue colour is on the deemed one.
As we select deemed export , the system allow us to make only ARE-3 document.
I want to create ARE1 document for Merchant Export (CT-1 Bond). So that we can select export under bond. Can anyone tell me the customization setting for creating ARE1 for Merchant Export.
Best regards,
Subrat

Dear Subrat
If you want to have "Exports under Bond", Go to IMG - Logistics-General --> Tax on Goods Movements --> India --> Business Transactions --> Outgoing Excise Invoices --> Maintain Default Excise Groups and Series Groups.
Here for the combination of your sales area, shipping point, plant, excise group and series group, maintain "B" for the tab "Export".
thanks

Proforma Invoice - For IC Export

Hi Gurus
I have a below scenario
This is regarding Intercompany scenario for export sales , Normally when we do export sales we have SAP Standard billing types ( Proforma F8 delivery related and F5 Order Related ) sometimes at the request of the client when they need a proforma invoice even before the delivery happens for an item with item category ( TAN) , SAP does allow us to create Proforma as they are std settings already maintained in SAP between OR and F5 and Item cat TAN
Now when it comes to Intercompany scenarios export sales processing , if we need to have delivery related proforma invoice its possible by implementing the Snote - 445763 and for order related invoices we have note 833115.
Now i would like to know from experts if a requirement for creating a proforma invoice for IC export sales referring to sales order for item cat TAN how can we map this as i understand TAN is delivery relevant , but what i am pointing is a replica of OR-F5 ( for delivery item cat TAN ) for intercomoany scenarios
i have gone through certain posts but i got information on order related IC proforma and Delivery related IC Proforma
But i need it specific to creating a Proforma Invoice for intercompany billing IV with a deliver item cat TAN , how to achieve this and what setting and precautions to be taken in copy control and configuration
Regards
Hiba

Hi Manh
Thanks for your mail, well yes as you mentioned above correctly for OR and TAN we do have SAP Standard settings wherein we can create proforma invoice F5
But my requirement is similar to the above requirement if we have scenario for Proforma Invoice ( Intercompany ) wherein for sales order having a delivery relevant item , I need system to create a Intercompany Proforma Invoice referencing to Sales Order
Intercompany invoice ( Proforma ) referencing sales order delivery relevant item
Please let me know how can we map the above
Many Thanks
Hiba

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

The volume for "*.jpg" cannot be found. External harddrive.

I have recently purchased a MacBook Air and have moved my iPhoto library to an external harddrive. Recently, my all of my older photos and videos when clicked on come with the error "The volume for "*.jpg" cannot be found." However, my new imported photos do not have this problem. When I click "Find Photo" and select that photo on my harddrive, it still gives me the same error.
I have many photo albums and would rather not import them all again just to re-organize them. Do I have any other alternatives?

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A +Managed library+, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
A +Referenced Library+ is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

JPGs exported from Lightroom 5.6 will not open in other applications

Recently I have noticed that jpgs exported from Lightroom 5.6 can not be opened in Canon DPP 3.14 and can not be resized using Image Resizer plugin. Both of these I use frequently.
I have seen mention of this issue re other applications also. Does anyone know if there is a solution?
I am using Windows 8.1 64bit. 5D Mark ii

This was an issue with 5.5 (the placement of some of the internal headers of the jpgs was changed and some other applications, including DPP, could not open them), but was corrected in 5.6. I just checked on it by exporting a jpg and opening it with no problem in DPP 3.14.15, Windows 7 x64. Are your jpgs old ones from LR 5.5?

Hello,
If you've not already solved this, let me ask a couple q's:
What tool are you running this report through for the export (it sounds like you're wanting to automate the process)?
Is it Business Object XI or Crystal Enterprise or simply manually exporting it using the CR designer program or...?

How i can write a plug in for ai cs6 in c# for import/export of web type document

can i write a plug in c#(or any other language) for import/export a screen of the adobe illustrator cs6 in html (or any other format) if document of web type.

If I understand you correctly, yes, you could write a plugin that imported an HTML file into Illustrator. You could also write one that exported to HTML. I'm not sure how easy it would be, and you won't find any HTML parsing help in the Illustrator SDK, but it's quite easy to create artwork with the SDK.

How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?

How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?    I want to be able to right click on a .jpg file, select the EDIT option in the Context Menu, then have Photoshop edit the file instead of Paint.
In Windows XP it was very easy to use the File Manger to associate the file type .jpg and action edit with Photoshop.    No so easy in Windows 7. It is easy to change the default OPEN application, but I would like to leave Windows Viewer as the default OPEN application and have Photoshop as the EDIT applicaiton.

Before I posted the original question here, I had probably spent a couple of hours trying to research it.   I hate to find no answer for something I know can be done.   So I spent some more time and found the following in the bowels of a Tech Forum that is generally way over my head. I have modified it to be Photoshop specific.
These instructions will update the default EDIT action for image types - jpg,png,gif and the variations.     If you are unfamiliar with editing the program registry you probably will want to back up your registry or take a system backup.
1. Open up the registry editor (Regedit.exe).
You will need to be signed on as a Windows user that is an administrator
2. Find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT -> SystemFileAssociations -> image -> shell -> edit -> command
This seems like it would be easy but it is not, because there are many key names that are very close (like System.FilesAssociations).   Keep looking because you will find it eventually.
3. Double click on "Default" (on right window pane) and update the program location.
You should see that MSPAINT.EXE is the current program.
Erase the existing value and enter you photoshop location in quotes followed by %1 in quotes. For me this is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
Hit return.
4. Exit Regit and test.
