Saving hotspots in JPG files...

I am using PBWorks as a Wiki generator which has a limited graphics editor. What it can do however is import JPG files. So, using Photoshop (I have version CS3) I thought I could take a JPG photo, add hotspots to it and then save it as a JPG before uploading it to the Wiki system. Then I could insert this JPG file into the appropriate part of the Web page (PBWorks generates).
Is this possible to do? To date I have totally failed!

Images do not contain any interaction. Clicking and linking is done strictly on the web end using HTML/ CSS/ JavaScript. If your editor doesn't allow to create image maps or you cannot upload a pre-authored HTML page, then there is nothing you can do, least of all in photoshop.

Seems to be ok especially if you enlarge the object before you copy it into photoshop.
I think what you are pasting (never bothered to try this) is just the screen preview, hence the need to enlarge. Why would you waste your time doing that instead of exporting to a high-res PDF?

Saving tiff or jpg files within a single, existing psd file without creating new files

     Hi, I just bought CS5 and I wonder if it is possible to save multiple images that are created within a single psd file in jpg or other image file formats without creating new psd files, but rather saving them as "embedded" within the single psd file in whih they are created. For example, one could select a portion of an image that one has created, and save just that selection as a jpg without leaving the existing psd file, and after that, one could select another portion of the same image and save it as a tiff, etc. Is this possible?
Much thanks.

No and Yes!
You can do much of what you want, but not exactly as you described it. You can certainly make multiple selections and have them saved in the psd file. You can also save jpg version of those selections, but you have to do a little extra work.
Lets say, by way of example, you have an image and you want to make three different selections within that image, save each selection as a jpeg, and save those selections along with the full image as a psd file. You can do the following, which is just one way of several to proceed, with your image opened.
1. Make selection 1, hit Ctrl+J to jump that selection to a new layer
2. Make selection 2, hit Ctrl+J to jump that selection to a new layer
3. Make selection 3, hit Ctrl+J to jump that selection to a new layer
4. Alt click on the layer with selection 1. This makes only that layer visible.
5. Click on Layer > Duplicate Layer > destination New > give it a name
6. This creates a new (temporary document). Open it.
     click Image > Trim > transparent pixels
     click Save for Web & Devces, select your parameters and save your jpeg
     Close and discard this temporary file.
7. Repeat steps 4,5 & 6 for selection 2 & selection 3
8. Save your psd file
You now have three jpegs and a psd file with all the information to create or modify the original selections

Why are my RAW images grainy on some devices after saving as JPG files?

I am new to the world of photography, so forgive me if my question is silly.
I just recently started shooting in RAW format. After editing my photos and saving them as JPG files, I am running into a problem. When I view the image files on my computer, my iPad, or my iPhone, they look great. I can even zoom in super close, and the images still retain amazing quality. However, when I set them as a desktop background, they are SUPER grainy. Here is an example. I just took a screen grab of each one on my computer. Here is the first one, which is the file itself when opened in Microsoft Office 2010.
Here is the screen grab of the same exact same file when I set it as a background on my computer:
Is this an issue with processing/editing/whatever the technical term may be? Or, is this a computer display issue? I could almost understand if the images were different files, but they are the same file. Can anyone help me out? I have a friend who wants me to take some photos for her this weekend, and I'm scared to shoot in RAW format for this reason, although I do enjoy the control I have over my images in that format. I'm also scared to see what my photos look like when printed.
Thanks in advance!

It’s really impossible to make a judgment from screen grabs. But how are you making the desktop background; ideally you should be using the original to make a re-sized image at the native resolution of your monitor.

Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?

My work involves preparing images for printing lightboxes and window installations. My clients require to pre-approve the photos before printing.
I usually save my files as psd but since the files are very large in this format I usually save another copy as a jpg file that has a much smaller file size. This makes it possible for me to add these to a presentation and and send them to my client.
Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time? Or do I still have to do this manually?

If you save the document manually as a PSD file in Phtoshop not from within an Action, Script, Plugin or Droplette. You may be able to write a Photoshop that would do as save as Jpeg, And you should be able trigger its execution by setting up a Script Save event using the Script event manager. When You do a manual save the script should be triggered. I wrote may be able to for I have never tried to write that script or set up a Script Manager Save event. I have only use open events.

Loading, cropping and saving jpg files in Flex

I'm attempting to apply the code for selecting, cropping and saving image data (.jpg, .png) as shown on the web site:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/filereference_class_as3.html#articlecontentAd obe_numberedheader_1
The sample application is contained within a class called Crop contained in the action script file Crop.as which begins as follows:
package
    import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
    import com.adobe.images.PNGEncoder;
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
    import flash.display.DisplayObject;
    import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.geom.Matrix;
    import flash.geom.Rectangle;
    import flash.net.FileFilter;
    import flash.net.FileReference;
    import flash.utils.ByteArray;
    public class Crop extends Sprite
My application attempts to make use of the Crop class by including the Crop.as file:
     <mx:Script source="Crop.as"/>
in the Flex Component which needs it, and then calling the Crop constructor to perform the methods of the class
   var localImage:Crop = new Crop();
   localImage.Crop();
My application does not compile. The package statement (or the curly bracket on the following line) is flagged with the error "Packages may not be nested".
I have no idea why this should be as I cannot see any nested definitions anywhere in my application. The component includes the Crop.as file which contains the package and class definition.
Can anyone give my some guidance as to why this error is occurring?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Scott,
#1
that error is because "fx:Script" (or mx:Script) are intended to include part of Actionscript code - but not class defitions or blocks.
So if you are trying to include e.g. such class:
package
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     public class Crop extends Sprite
          public function Crop()
               super();
          public function processImage():void
               trace("processImage()");
compiler will immediately complain as you are trying to incorporate nested class within your application code.
#2
here is correct way (I think) to incorporate some class via mxml tags (here using fx:Script):
Using class sample above:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                  xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                  xmlns:utils="*"
                  applicationComplete="completeHandler(event)">
     
     <fx:Declarations>
          <utils:Crop id="cropUtil"/>
     </fx:Declarations>
     
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               import mx.events.FlexEvent;
               protected function completeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
                    cropUtil.processImage();
          ]]>
     </fx:Script>
</s:Application>
But note that you could simply create instance of your class by direct import in fx:Script:
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               import mx.events.FlexEvent;
               private var cropUtil:Crop = null;
               protected function completeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
                    cropUtil = new Crop();
                    cropUtil.processImage();
          ]]>
     </fx:Script>

Can we start a relatively elementary thread about the quality level of a saved .jpg file and its relation to camera resolution settings, if any?

My daughter has thousands of photos shot with a maximum resolution setting on her camera, each one occupying an approximately 4 MB file and apparently capable of generating a quality 32x48 print -- clearly a case of overkill. I think she's doing it because she thinks it will maximize print quality. I know it's exhausting our disk space.
In PSE9, I've taken a sample .jpg file (4 MB) and saved it as three .jpg files: at maximum quality (5.2 MB), 50% quality (934 KB), and minimum quality (359 KB). Note that the minimum quality file represents a 90% reduction in disk space! Then for each of these four sizes, I printed it on letter-size plain paper, and again on 4x6 photo paper. They looked identical to me. I asked her to compare them (she did not know which photos had which quality) and with her calibrated eyeballs she thought that the minimum quality was a bit more "pixellated".
I successfully experimented with the editor's "Process Multiple Files" to resize the photos and I am pleased with its performance on my iMac -- less than seven minutes to convert 197 photos. As a further test, I ran 5 photos four times: low-quality and high quality, each at 300 dpi and 600 dpi. Again I saw no apparent difference between 300 dpi low and high quality on letter-size plain paper, but I was taken aback to see the 600 dpi print as approx. 4x6 in the center of the letter-size paper. I took another look at the four of them in the PSE workplace, and sure enough, the 300 dpi files showed up approximately letter-sized and the 600 dpi files showed up as approximately 4x6.
Obviously I'm dealing with apples and oranges here, and this is why I'd like to see some elementary-level conversation on this subject.

Thanks for the hints, Lundberg. Google led to ImageJ. Rather difficult to understand what it does, but fun to play around with. Further reading led me to this statement:
Another sinusoidal transform (i.e. transform with sinusoidal base functions) related to the DFT is the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT).
And since jpeg is based on the DCT I thought: simply compressing an image at jpeg and looking at the file size will probably give info re the sharpness of the image. At maximum jpeg setting, there was a significant reduction in file size for a particular image when I applied a Gaussian Blur. So all I have to do is work out how to relate the jpeg file size to the minimum acceptable resolution.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

When I attach a JPG file in my email and send it to a Windows friend they get the message "The file type being saved or retrieved has been blocked when they try to open it." Anyone know why and how to fix this problem?

Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

Since latest Firefox automatic update, any downloaded jpg is saved as a firefox file and I cannot save as a jpg. Why?? Help please!!

Since the latest FF automatic update - any jpg I send to myself I cannot save as a jpg. This is so frustrating. I use my camera phone to take shots of our library activities and then to make newsletters, website updates etc. Just started this week. Today is the first day I noticed this problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today 7/28/10

You can rename the files and give them a .jpg file extension.
You can force that while saving the file if you add quotes around the name: "image.jpg"

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

Capture time is not saved into JPG file! (LR 2.0)

Hi,
I have this JPG file with no EXIF data whatsoever but I know it's capture time so I went to Metadata » Edit Capture Time and changed the capture time. Now, on Lightroom in the Library module, I can see the capture time there and then I save the metadata with Metadata » Save Metadata to File. However, when I check the file on Windows Explorer, the capture time (or date taken as named by Windows) is not specified at all.
Why isn't the "Save Metadata do File" working correctly?

@William Porter
I don't have that box checked but it shouldn't matter because I'm not talking about exporting new files to update the metadata. I'm talking about updating the files metadata within the files that are already added to the library.
@Richard Earney
That option was already checked from the beginning but it's not helping. That's exactly why I don't understand why this is not working.
Maybe a bug on LR 2.0 Final?

Saving JPG files in Photoshop Elements 10 - what size?

I have used the raw converter to tweek my photos. I want to save file in Jpg format.
Elements asks me what size I want to save: Low, Medium, large, or maximum.
I will use the Jpg files for printing either 4 x 6 or 8 x 10.
What dictates the file size to use?

For printing, you would want maximum quality.
