Re: Poor Image Quality When Converting Pict Image to JPG and TIF Using CONVERT PICTURE (SOLVED)

2020-02-07 Thread Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech 
I suppose you could scale and rasterise to gain DPI, or else convert to a 
neutral vector format like SVG

Hi Chuck,

Thank you for raising the potential issues with Windows.  As you pointed 
out - I cannot view on Windows the PDF images in a form that displays 
the image field, and I cannot print the images using a variable.


I do not have these issues with Mac OS X, but some of my customers are 
cross platform, so it appears I still have an issue to get the images 
properly converted so they can be used on both platforms.


Tom Benedict sent me a conversion component that I'll have to try later 
today when I can find the time.


It's always something...

Thanks again!
Ken

Hello,

PICT is a container format, it can contain either raster or vectorial

images.

it sounds like you have vectorial images.

on Mac, you can use the command to convert PICT to PDF,
which will result in "sharp" images.

otherwise you need to scale up the image before converting it to a

rasterised image such as PNG, TIF or JPG.

I also get the same issue when trying to convert to jpg:

CONVERT PICTURE([Logos]Logo;".JPG")

Any thoughts how I can best convert the images in my data file without

losing any quality?
