Scan as a jpeg

I have an officejet 6815. When I scan something it saves it as a PDF and need it to be a jpeg. I cant figure out how to change that. When I scan something,half the time it is so I can manupulate it. I dont have a program that can alter a PDF. very frustrating

Hi , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see when you scan you would like to be able to save the file as a jpeg. Which program are you using to Scan? I would like you to follow the steps listed here: Scan from Windows 7 With the Full Feature HP Software When you open up the HP Software, on the Left hand side click Scan Photo this will save it as Jpeg. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Unable to open scanned Kaiser Baas jpeg files in Photoshop Elements 6

I have scanned photos and negatives using Kaiser Baas Photo & Negative scanner. I am unable to open the jpeg files produced using Photoshop Elements 6, any advice on how to?

I don't seem to have any trouble opening the file in pse 6 on windows xp.
I'd reset the pse 6 editor preferences and see if that makes a difference.
Press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt just after starting the launch of the pse 6 editor
Keeping holding down the keys until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
Press Yes in that dialog

Convert Scanned PDF to JPEG

Scanned a photo which was set as a PDF by printer and/or Adobe Reader. How can i get my printer HP8500 All-in-one to either scan as JPeg or how do I convert a PDF to JPEG? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi Gloria,
Consider:
CoolUtils.com
You can use the converter for free online. It will handle most formats.
You can also buy a program that will do almost anything (if you need to convert files more than once in a while.) Just click on the links along the left side of the page and take a look. I've used both the free converter and I've purchased software from the company - I am satisfied with both experiences.
This link is cool to have around if you want to make your own icons, too. Feed it a copy of your favorite tiny jpg file and it will give you back an icon file. Smiling.
Good Luck!

Print an email attachment previously scanned as a jpeg

I scanned a document into images as a jpeg file. Successfully sent as attachment. Receiver said printed version was too blurry. Don't understand why. Help!

If you scanned the document at a resolution lower than 300dpi then it will look blurry when printed, even more so if they enlarged the print. Did you try printing the document yourself to see how it looked?
Note that increasing the resolution will increase the file size and may make it too large to send via email. So you may need to experiment with finding a resolution that prints okay but doesn't make the file very large.
Also, JPEG files use a lossy algorithm to reduce the file size. You could try scanning the document again, possibly at 300dpi and saving as a PNG. This is a lossless format and may help with getting resonable print quality.

No longer able to Scan to JPEG using HP Phtotosmart 2610

I no longer have the ability to scan to JPEG format using my HP Photosmart 2610xi using the Apple HP Printer Driver 10.3. I now only have TIFF, PNG and PDF formats available to me. Software update does not recognize the need for an update to the driver. This is a new issue as I have always been able to scan to the JPEG format. My bank requires that any checks I want to deposit via the web have to be in JPEG format. I am running a Mac Mini with OS 10.10.3.

Hey,
Install the HP Easy Scan app from the Mac App Store, then open it from the Applications folder:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-easy-scan/id967004861?mt=12
Once you are done scanning click the Save button, may you select JPG from the app?

Which Approach?---Scan into JPEGs and then save as PDF or scan into PDF?

I am now learning to use my Canon Pixma MX870. I installed the full suite of Canon printing, scanning, faxing and whatever else software they provide for this all-in-one.
There are several different ways you can approach things with this machine which makes it a little confusing. You can do things with a one touch kind of method or you can delve deeper into the menus and adjust lots of settings.
Right now I am working on scanning documents into PDFs. The Canon software lets me create multipage PDFs which is something I've been wanting to do. My question is, is it best to scan images as JPEGs and then save them as a multipage PDF or is it best to scan into PDF directly (which the scanner seems to offer as well) and then save as a multipage PDF? I'm thinking in terms of the best optimization of file size vs. image quality and things like that.
Is the scanner actually doing anything differently when scanning into JPEG vs. PDF? Or is the scanning all the same and it's just the saving of the file that is different?
In general what dpi setting is usually sufficient to use to scan a basic text document without taking up too much file space?
Thanks!

Steve M.

Maybe you don't need that. I prefer using Apple's Image Capture for scanning.

Let the software do it for you. That will be fewer steps for you. Image-based PDFs are going to be large. There is no way around that. If they are too large, you can use Preview's Save As feature and play around with the Quartz Filter.

Scans are scans. The JPEG file format is lossly and will look worse than other types. If you are scanning in photographs, the JPEGs will look good. If you are scanning in crisp text, JPEGS will have lots of artifacts and look bad.
In general what dpi setting is usually sufficient to use to scan a basic text document without taking up too much file space?
I pretty much always keep it at 300 unless I need something special or when the original is really small and I intend to blow it up.

I am scanning printed photos into iPhoto as jpeg files but they are not showing as jpegs and I can't move them to another document - any ideas??

Ultimately, I am using these photos in a document I am writing and for some reason, some of the photos I have scanned in to iPhoto are not showing as jpeg files . . . the file type is blank and when I try to move them, I get a circle with a slash through it indicating NO instead of the green circle with a + indicating that the photo can be moved and dropped elsewhere. I am using an Epson scanner and am scanning as jpeg images. I also have an option to scan as a jpeg2000 image but am not sure of the difference in the files so continue to scan as just jpeg. Does anybody have an idea as to why these particular files are scanning in as jpegs but apparently there is something not registering correctly. Could it be that they were scanned without doing an overview scan first? I know it can't be that simple . . any help would be appreciated.

What scanner format settings dis you use? Are these color photos? If they are B/W did you scan as grayscale images? That could be the problem.
Are you able to open them with Preview? If so do a Save As, select full quality and save as a jpeg with a new file name. See if that file will import and work as intended.

Photos are scanned as tiff instead of jpeg

When I scan a picture, it is scanned as a .tif instead of a .jpeg. I then have to take the time to crop the picture and resave it. There is no option on my printer or in the settings to make it scan the photo as a JPEG, but there used to be. How to a resolve this?

Hi ashleymarolo,
I understand you are unable to scan as a JPEG file format right now, just the TIFF format. I'm sorry to hear this, but will be happy to help once I gather a bit more information!
1. Which model HP printer do you have?
2. Are you connected via USB or wireless to the computer?
3. Which version of Mac or Windows are you working with?
4. If the full feature HP software is available, do you have it installed on your computer?
5. Are you using the HP software to scan, or a different program?
Once I have this information, I should be able to offer some helpful suggestions

Scanning from RX620 Epson -- no option to scan in jpeg ?

I am using Epson All i one printer/scanner (RX620) & when I scan to my computer (OS X 10.9.3) to edit pictures I cannot default to jpeg ( not listed as option) the default is TIFF.
Epson have responded to my question saying that they have not issued a driver for the APPLE ... is there any to overcome this.( I think this has only just recently happened as I can only remember scanning to a jpeg default ?

Try using the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder for scanning.
Launch Image Capture located in your Applications folder.
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Import To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.
If you need help with the Image Capture software, click Help from the Image Capture menu bar.

I would appreciate it if someone could advise me as to the optimum resolution, dimensions and dpi for actual photographic slides that I am scanning for use in a Keynote Presentation, that will be projected in a large auditorium. I realize that most projectors in auditoriums that I will be using have 1024 x 1200 pixels, and possibly 1600 x 1200. There is no reference to this issue in the Keynote Tutorial supplied by Apple, and I have never found a definitive answer to this issue online (although there may be one).
Here’s my question: When scanning my photographic slides, what setting, from 72 dpi to 300 dpi, would result in the best image quality and use up the most efficient amount of space?
Here’s what two different photo slide scanning service suppliers have told me:
Supplier No. 1 tells me that they can scan slides to a size of 1544 x 1024 pixels, at 72 dpi, which will be 763 KB, and they refer to this as low resolution (a JPEG). However, I noticed when I looked at these scanned slides, the size of the slides varied, with a maximum of 1.8 MB. This supplier says that the dpi doesn’t matter when it comes to the quality of the final digital image, that it is the dimensions that matter. They say that if they scanned a slide to a higher resolution (2048 x 3072), they would still scan it at 72 dpi.
Supplier No. 2: They tell me that in order to have a high quality image made from a photographic slide (starting with a 35 mm slide, in all cases), I need to have a “1280 pixel dimension slide, a JPEG, at 300 dpi, that is 8 MB per image.” However, this supplier also offers, on its list of services, a “Standard Resolution JPEG (4MB file/image – 3088 x 2048), as well as a “High Resolution JPEG (8 MB file/image – 3088x2048).
I will be presenting my Keynotes with my MacBook Pro, and will not have a chance to try out the presentations in advance, since the lecture location is far from my home, so that is not an option.
I do not want to use up more memory than necessary on my laptop. I also want to have the best quality image.
One more question: When scanning images myself, on my own scanner, for my Keynote presentations, would I be better off scanning them as JPEGs or TIFFs? I have been told that a TIFF is better because it is less compressed.
Any enlightenment on this subject would be appreciated.
Thank you.

When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range. Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote. Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation. Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs. Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get. There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') . See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there. Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

Can scan to email but cannot scan to computer using 6830 and OS Yosemite

I just purchased 6830 to use with my imac with Yosemite. I am able to scan to email but I am not able to scan to computer. I have installed the latest driver . I followed directions to access HP utility and there was no way to get to scan preferences. Any ideas how to scan to computer. I keep getting message to open up the utility which does not get may anywhere.

Hi @pfgoodman1,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you can scan to email but cannot scan to computer using your HP Officejet 6830 and OS Yosemite. I am sorry to hear this but I am happy to help!
First, I would make sure that the full feature software and driver is installed and not just the basic software.
Then I would recommend the following guides:
Scan From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Memory Device) for HP Offic.... (Select Scanning a photo (.jpeg) or document (.pdf) to the computer.)
A 'No Computer Found' Message Displays for HP Officejet 6810 and HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One ....
Hope this helps!

Can't scan to PDF file on HP Photosmart 7520 printer

I have two HP Photosmart 7520 printers - one in my home and one at summer home. On one when I scan I get the option of document or photo and PDF or jpeg. On the other printer, I am not given any options and it automatically scans into a jpeg file. How can I get the PDF format option to work on printer number 2?

Hi @healthdesigner,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan to PDF on your HP Photosmart 7520 printer. I am happy to help you with your scanning!
For further assistance, I will need some additional information:
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If the printer is able to make copies.
Please see this post, Want Good Answers? Ask Good Questions, by @Bob_Headrick, so you can get the most out of these forums.
Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf MP scanning to a PDF

I have a HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf MP in my classroom. I need to to be able to scan to a PDF for my confidential documents. I have tried unistalling, reinstalling, setting up printing preferences, updating adobe, and using a different computer.It has previously worked on this computer until I had to reimage it. The only options it gives me for scanning is TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and BMP.
Thanks!

Hello @ssoileau , and welcome to the HP Forums.

How do I scan and email documents on my canon mx870? I have a MAC OS X 10.7.5 and it is connected with a usb cable to the printer. Thank you so much!

Hi, I have 10.6.8 and an HP printer so it may be slightly different but I'll give it my best shot:
Go to System Preferences.
Click on "Print & Fax"
Near the top of that page you should see "Print" and "Scan" options. Click "Scan"
A button appears that says "open scanner"
The settings are different between the different scanner models so I'm not sure what the next window will look like, but it should be pretty straightforward from there. It will scan to a JPEG image which you can attach to an email. I hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything ense I can help with.

Photos scanned to iPhoto Library can't be found!

I scanned some photos from my new Canon CanoScan 8800F, using both the PhotoStudio and Photoshop Elements 4.0 programs that came with the scanner. I saved them to my iPhoto Library, but when I go to iPhoto they are nowhere to be found, in the Last Import or anywhere else. When I try to import them using File>Import feature, they show up but are grayed out, as they are if I look for them in the Finder. However, I can still open them up in both PhotoStudio and Photoshop. So, I then copied them to my desktop from those programs and tried to drag them into iPhoto - whereupon iPhoto says they are already there! I scanned them as jpegs, and the first 4 or 5 photos I scanned worked just fine. Shut down and reopened iPhoto - no dice. ARGHHHH! Please help! Thanks.

Rule 1 - Never, Never, Never modify the content of the iPhoto library - doing so will not work and may corrupt your library
Since you have places photo in the iPhoto library that it does not know about you must remove them from the iphoto library - backup first and be extremely careful not to make any other changes - and then import them to iPhoto.
iPhoto is a database and for it to know about photos they must be imported into iPhoto - and you can not import photos from within the iPhoto library into the iPhoto library
