Convert Image from Plugin

Jun 29, 2012 3:40 AM

Hi Everyone,

i have added a button in file menu by using AI SDK , now i want to convert an AI image into a JPEG format.

Can anyone please tell me that how will it be possible??

Will it be possible by using the same SDK API or i will have to run a script file on this button click event.

Regards

Harsh

We export to JPG manually, so its definitely doable in just pure code (though you may need to do some pixel crunching and/or need a 3rd party library).

There are some methods for exporting to Jpeg natively though I haven't used them. AIImageOpitimizatioSuite::AsJEPG() takes an art handle and sends the raw data to an AIDataFilter (presumably as a stream of JPEG bytes you could just write out? I'm not sure). You could try that first, see how that works.

Thanks Patterson, but i couldn't find "AIImageOpitimizatioSuite::AsJEPG()" any where in AI SDK so that i can work move ahead.
Do you have any idea about it (where can i found this function).

AIImageOptimization.h -- sorry, dropped an 'n' in there. I meant AIImageOptimizationSuite, not AIImageOptimizatioSuite!
