TicketBench Pro and VenueBench cannot print images with transparencies. You will need to open the image in an image editor (such as Photoshop or Illustrator) and save it without transparencies.

Yes, although GIF and JPEG files are best suited for viewing on computer monitors. Due to compression, these image formats can occasionally lose unexpected detail or color. Small GIFs and JPEGs are an excellent way for us to preview your document quickly. If you are using a GIF or JPEG file as your finished artwork, please make sure that the image is made to the size that you want to print it and has a resolution of 300 pixels per inch or greater.

No, sorry... there are numerous other sites online which will allow you to do this, but our services do not include this feature. [BACK TO TOP]

A) - In Internet Explorer right click on the gif or jpeg image. From the drop down menu select "save as" or "save target as". This will save the image to your default folder, which in most cases is the "my documents" folder. In Netscape right click on the gif or jpeg image. From the drop down menu select "save image as".

You need to manually get libgif and libjpeg and compile and install them on your system. They will install by default in /usr/local/lib, so once they're installed, you have to make sure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib or put /usr/local/lib in your ld.so configuration file. In addition, you also have to remove libgif.* and libjpeg.* from your /usr/lib directory, as these will be found first (and even if you finagle ld.

A typical image editor will decompress and recompress a JPEG file when you save it, resulting in a loss of image quality. You can avoid this if you use special software that can do a very limited set of operations that don't involve recompressing, i.e., they just rearrange the data already in the file. You are typically limited to rotations at multiples of 90 degrees and some cropping actions: There are many others than I haven't listed. (See here for more.

A) - You can have a lot of fun sending images to friends and family. To insert a file into a message click anywhere in the message window. On the insert menu click file attachment, and then find the file you want to attach. Select the file, and then click "attach". The file is listed in the attach box in the message header. To insert a picture into a message, click the place in the message where you want the image to appear.

For image metadata fields (and the custom logo upload) the types of image files that CWIS supports is dependent on your web server environment. If you are running on a Linux server and do not have the PHP "safe_mode" option turned on, then CWIS should support GIF, JPEG, and PNG files. If you are running on a non-Linux server or a server with PHP safe_mode turned on, then which image types are supported will depend on what version of PHP you have. For versions of PHP that include release 1.

If there's one concept you should take away from this site, it's Use the best tool for the job. In this case, that happens to be JPEG, which, at 76,563 bytes, is almost seven times smaller than the completely lossless PNG version (515,894 bytes). (Of course, the PNG image is interlaced, which tends to reduce its compression efficiency; non-interlaced, it would be 410,545 bytes, only 5.4 times as large as the JPEG.

These formats can be broken up into two major categories: raster, and vector. This project uses the vector format, but we will describe raster first. Popular raster formats include GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. In these formats, each pixel in the image is represented by a specific bit of data in the file. Storing each pixel of a large image creates a huge file! Many formats try to get around this by compressing the data so that each bit of data can represent several pixels.

It will depend on your display environment, which may already provide these functions. Reference JPEG software is at http://www.ijg.org/files/.

JPEGs (Joint Photographic Experts Group) are used for photographic art, .GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format) are used for line art.

GIF is short for Graphics Interchange Format. GIF's advantages is that it is supported by practically all web browsers, can include transparent backgrounds, supports interlacing (providing a low-resolution preview of the graphic to the viewer while it downloads), and can be used as an image map (allowing the viewer to click on the graphic as they would a regular link to another site.) GIF's disadvantages are that it can only support 8-bit color (or a palette no greater than 256 colors).

Gifs are usually only best for images where there are large flat areas of a single colour, such as a diagram. Gifs can have transparent areas in them, and can be animated, which a jpeg can't. Gifs are also limited to 256 colours. Jpegs are preferrable to gifs for almost any image that isn't a diagram. Jpegs compress the data very well, meaning that your picture files will be smaller. This compression creates inaccuracies though, but these inaccuracies are not usually noticeable.

The key to this is to remember to change the content/type attribute for your page before printing it out. print "Content-type: image/jpeg\n\n"; print $entry->{jpegphoto}[0]; Or, if you're using the CGI.pm Perl module, you change the content/type in the header: print $query->header(-type=>'image/jpeg'); #some random code print $entry->{jpegphoto}[0]; If you're using Windows, you may need to add binmode(STDOUT); before you print.

The two most likely problems are related to image type and layers. For instance, your image type must be "Indexed" for GIF, but "RGB" for TIFF. Try a different image type (look under the "Image" menu). If you have more than 1 layer in your image, you probably need to merge the visible layers, and/or "flatten" the image. Both operations are available under the "Layers" menu or from the "Layers" dialog. Flattening will destroy any background transparency.

Get a tool that can do that. Recommended the Gimp, IrfanView or the evaluation version of Paint Shop Pro. If you know of more good tools, feel free to tell us.

These are compressed image files that do not typically print to our image setter. We would need to review the file to determine if it is useable. To ensure that the file will work it should be saved as an uncompressed file, which is a TIFF or EPS.

Just select "File|Convert Picture to Icon". Then select your image source file and determine the part of the image you want to transform into an icon. After that you will be able to edit your new icon and of course export it as an icon file (.ico).

Well, we'll defer to your web designer and his or her expertise. If you're on your own, then we'd recommend the following: a) Use GIF format with graphics that you've created on your computer such as horizontal rules, buttons or animation. Most logos fall into this category, especially ones with flat color areas and/or vector art. b) Use JPEG format when the images are pictures or photographs.
