Hi Swami,
I followed the recent thread on making thumbnails, but still have a basic question. Of course, it possible to import a large digital JPEG image (typically taken by a digital camera, 20 X 14 at 100 DPI or something like that), and assign that image to a small rect that is locked and thus it appears as a thumbnail. The questions areSInce RR will always display images in 72 dpi (screen resolution, only some specific
1) How does one go about actually making a thumbnail of the large image that resides on disk, but, in Revolution the amount of image data for the thumbnail is just that, the necessary data to show a thumbnail.. let's say 1 inch tall by 2 inches wide, for discussion purposes... at 72 DPI. So that when you export that thumbnail back to the hard drive you end up with a tiny 20K thumbnail image of the large image?
image editors like Photoshop etc... really do know what other resolutions "mean",
same for most computer-users ;-) you could "stuff" such a high res image into
a small locked image object, do some calculations with "the formattedheight of img x" and
"the formattedwidth of img x" to determine the correct proportional scaling for that image object.
2) Can we import a JPEG and then export that big file back to a smaller file and a specific smaller size and compression. e.g. we bring in the file and save it out as a 3X5 image at 72 DPI at compression "medium" or 40.I think you can just export a screenshot from the rect of that image as jpeg.
See "export" and "jpegquality"...
Shouldn't be too complicated ;-)
