Save as Jpeg - icon

Using a Mac with 10.4.11, CS3 and Acrobat 8.1.2
I usually make PDFs from Quark or Illustrator, using Distiller then Acrobat.
If I take a PDFs which originally looks like this:-
If I do a "Save as Jpeg", the Preview icon on the desktop always looks like this (you can just see the image very feintly)
The actual Jpeg image is ok, but it's just the Preview icon which always comes out like this
Any suggestions?

Generic jpeg icon in finder

I have a number of jpeg icons which appear in a generic format in Icon view in the finder, i.e.the icon simply says 'jpeg' and does not give a thumbnail of the image. if I save an image in tiff format (from Photoshop or Preview) the icon shows a thumbnail of the file's contents but Preview saves show only the generic format. Two questions: how do I make sure all jpegs are saved with a thumbnail and can I convert existing generic icons to show a thumbnail without converting them to tiffs?

enetr command+J in finder and in the resulting popup check the box "show icon preview".

How do I download images as actual photos & NOT just jpeg icons in Safari?

I can not get either Safari or Firefox to download images from websites, e.g. ebay items, as pictures----they only download as jpeg icons with a code name and then have to be opened in another app. In Explorer I used to be able to see the images as actual photos, which helped me when I was searching for a saved item in my files.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I do know how to drop and drag photos/images off a website to my desktop, etc. in both Safari and Firefox. But they are only downloaded as jpeg icons, not as thumbnails. So if I save them in my files (I sell on ebay and have always been able to save both the text of sold items in Word and the thumbnails of the photos in Explorer), with Safari or Firefox they are only jpeg icons and in order to see what the thing IS, I have to open it. This means I cannot just look at my saved files and immediately find the item I am looking for by image. I want to be able to save images as thumbnails and NOT as jpeg icons. And, as we all know, Explorer has not been updated for Mac OS.

It's a photoShop problem, Id Get GraphicConverter gives even more options...

It can be set to create icons of different sizes on existing files.

Jpeg icons are jagged

I'm going through my images, archiving some, tossing others. I've come across a folder full of jpeg images where the icons are so jagged you can't see what the image is.
How do I tell Finder to go through all these images and update the icon so that it is not pixellated?

I try and get by with the minimum amount of software on my system, but thanks for the suggestion of GraphicConverter.
Are you saying that Finder cannot "reicon" icons? Most of the icons are okay, it's just these 100 or so in one folder that have gone haywire.
If I open the files in Photoshop and "Save As" the icons come good, but I am afraid that by doing so I would be re-compressing the images, causing a slight degradation. Also, if I "Get Info" and look at the preview, the preview looks okay and and the icon is larger than what is displayed for the 128 x 128 maximum icon size. So Finder does know how to display the icons properly, but it has forgotten how to in the case of the images in this one folder.
Is there no way to tell Finder to go through these images and "reicon"?
Another question: where are the preview icons stored? Inside the image?

JPEG icon?

Hi,
How do I set up my Mac so I can see JPEG icons (actual previews). I just get the generic JPEG symbol. I'm using CS 1 and I have OS 10.3.
Thanks,
Allan

> If the jpegs were made using save for web they have no thumbnail and no thumbnail preview to see in the finder. this is so the file can be as small as possible for use on the web.
That is incorrect in 10.3 (if you do what I mentioned in post 1). The finder will generate previews of SFW files. Not sure where they're stored tho ;). Why it can't seem to do the same with PDFs confused me...

Qu. re: jpeg icons

When I browse my pictures folders, files appear as thumbnails in icon view, but in list and column view most appear as generic jpeg. icons, and just a few, seemingly random, as thumbnails. How can I make all of them appear as mini-thumbnails in these 2 views?
Thanks,

HI Rb,
Perhaps this is just a corrupted Finder preference file causing this. Try this ... locate this file:
com.apple.finder.plist It's here: /Home/Library/Preferences Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to delete a preference file, your Mac will create a new one for you.
Also, I just found this info in Apple's Help Menu ...
When you save an image file, in some cases the file's icon is a small preview of the image. The Finder can show these preview icons; however, some image files may not have a preview icon.
When you view files as icons, you can increase the size of the icons to get a better look at the image preview. When you view files in columns, you can see the preview image in its own column when you select the file.
To see image previews as icons, choose View > "as Icons."
Choose View > Show View Options and move the slider to the right to enlarge the icons.
To create preview icons for files that don't already have one, choose View > Show View Options and select "Show icon preview."
To see image previews in a column, choose View > "as Columns."
Next, choose View > Show View Options and select "Show preview column."
In the Finder window, select an image file to see a preview of it in the column.
The Finder may not be able to show a preview for some image files.
So.......... the images that only show the generic image... depending on which format those images are... click on one of the images and then press Command + I That will open a Get Info window and tell you exactly what format the image is.
Hope this helps...

How to default save as JPEG?

My current workflow has been placing rectangular photos onto white square backgrounds and then saving as JPEGs. Each time I have to save the resulting image, I have to manually opt for JPEGs. Is there any way of making this a default? Thanks if anyone knows.
Richard

When you have several layers, a jpeg format can't save your work, you have to create another file in psd or tiff format to keep the original unchanged and a new file with layers as a copy.
The normal use of the 'save' command is to overwrite the original image. What you really want is not a single step, it's to:
- flatten the layers
- save (overwrite) the original image file.
Allowing a default to automatically do that when you are editing a layered file would be a disaster in most cases. So you have two ways to tell the software to do that:
- specify the jpeg format as output and if you want to overwrite the original or create a copy or version set
- do a 'flatten image' before trying to do a 'save' or 'save as'.
(If you use 'save for web', you are implicitly telling you want to flatten and save as jpeg).

My images won't save as jpeg unless I go to Save As... what is happening to my images?

My images look great when edited in photoshop and when I got to close and save it won't give me the option to save as a jpeg so I have to go to File Save As and then save to jpeg. But when I go to order them in Roes they look drab and awful but the thumbnail looks great. Am I saving it wrong somehow?

Go to Image --> Mode and set image to 8 or 16 bit. If the image has 32 bit, it won't export through the save for web dialog.
Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Seeing JPEG Icon instead of Picture in Finder views-want to see pictures

I no longer see preview pictures in the Finder screens, on any of the finder views, icon or cover flow, all I get is a JPEG icon, and no view of the picture - anyone know how to fix?

is there a real fix? forced quit and reopen work, but kind of a hokie fix if you ask me

In photoshop cc my saved files don't appear as thumbnails with the image, only with the generic tiff or jpeg icon

how do i get actual thumbnail images in photoshop cc instead of generic tiff or jpeg icons??

And what exactly? If you mean system thumbnails, then this has nothing to do with PS. You messed up your file associations then by installing a tool that usurped those associations and they no longer default to the Windows preview function.

Argh - once again, I find my solution right after posting this. Left out one modification to the SWIG script, now it runs in 29 seconds vs C 16 seconds, I can live with that.

I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto. But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11. If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG.

One-click 'Save as jpeg' shortcut script please! - saved in the same folder

Hi, I've been re-directed here because I was told a script could solve my problems - but I have no scripting experience/knowledge/ability! Below is my original problem and post. I got as close as 2 button presses, but I'm after that sweet, sweet single-button, double-my-productivity shortcut! Thanks!
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1106992
I use 'Save as .jpeg' ALL the time (Photoshop CS6, Mac ML), and it really feels like I should just be able to press one button (a shortcut) and the name/quality dialogs don't appear and it just saves a .jpeg into the folder that my original .PSD/file is in.
So basically:
- Press one button to save my open .PSD/file as a .jpeg
- Automatically save it in the same folder as my .PSD
- Save it as '10' quality in the jpeg settings
- No dialog boxes, as soon as I press the button, it saves it - if there's already a .jpeg of the same name, it creates a '-1','-2' etc.
I've tried using 'Actions', but it seems to save it wherever my original Action folder was - it doesn't change to whatever the current folder the .PSD is in...
Thanks!

File -> Scripts -> Script Events Manager
Click Enable Events at the top
Select Save Document from Photoshop Event drop down
Select Save Extra JPEG from Script drop down
Click Add
Click Done
EVERY document you save, except JPEG files, will save a jpg file. Saving will be slower.
You will need to modify line 62 of the Save Extra JPEG.jsx file located here: <YOUR_PHOTOSHOP_INSTALL_LOCATION>\Presets\Scripts\Event Scripts Only
In order to boost your quality to '10'. Here is the line in question
jpegOptions.quality = 2; // really low
Change it to
jpegOptions.quality = 10; // really high
You will need to modify the script to get this problem solved as well: it saves it - if there's already a .jpeg of the same name, it creates a '-1','-2' etc.
You can steal code out of Image Processor that finds a file name that is unique for the folder so you don't get overwrites.
Are you sure you want that? If you do lots of saves you are going to fill up your disk fast.

Batch Process Export As and Save As JPEG Question?

What is the method for creating scaled JPEGs from PNG files with batch processing (File | Batch Process...)?
Application environment: Fireworks CS4.
Using History panel, I manually captured instructions
Modify | Transform | Numeric Transform (13%)
Modify | Canvas | Fit Canvas
File | Save As (JPEG)
History panel's saved JavaScript file script:
fw.getDocumentDOM().scaleSelection(0.11999999731779099, 0.11999999731779099, "autoTrimImages transformAttributes");
fw.getDocumentDOM().setDocumentCanvasSizeToDocumentExtents(true);
fw.saveDocumentAs(null, true);
Running this sequence as a batch job requires manually selecting JPEG and "okaying"
CS4 documentation for saveDocumentAs is defined with different argument list: fw.saveDocumentAs(document) . CS4 documentation also has: fw.exportDocumentAs(document, fileURL, exportOptions) to export JPEG (80% quality). CS4 feature File | Image Preview... | Export does not create a history record for guidance. I cannot find an example of either instruction save a file to a local folder in JPEG format. My objective is to add an additional batch step Rename (prefix) for the JPEG output, and script this a a batch process.

Joyce,
Thank you. Your suggestion helped clear my mental log jam.
Fireworks batch scripting seems to work in reverse.
Using "Batch Process..." scripting interface 'Export' (as JPEG) option first, 'Rename' (add Prefix) option second, and then follow these by using the history panel's 2 previously saved steps (Numeric Transform, Fit Canvas), batch process now works. PNG file (list) is saved in targeted folder as a reduced scale JPEG with a prefixed file name.
Batch Process allows the entire newly defined command sequence to be saved (script.js). Placing this (renamed) file into Firework's batch look-up directory for scripts (C:\Documents and Settings\account_name\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\Commands) does not work. The file name does not display in "Batch Process" window "Batch options:" Commands drop-down list.
Batch Process only works by recreating the above steps each use.
The new (JavaScript) file is 26 KB. Is script file size limited in Fireworks "Batch options:" feature?
