I have a routine that creates a report which includes text and graphics. When I print to a PDF or printer the output looks great. When I draw the report on an image to save as a PNG, GIF, JPEG, etc. it does not look as good and I understand that is related to the 96 dpi native resolution. However, I made some modifications, and even though the graphics part of the image looks better, the text does not look as good as the PDF. I am creating the image using 300 dpi and text rendering is set at the highest quality.
The Vb.Net application creates a bitmap from scratch and either converts to a tiff or sends it to a printer. In both cases, the quality of the image (in this case the font) is not good at all. The sample code listed below creates the graphics object that I use to write to the image.
Dim gr2 As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(New Bitmap(800, 1000), Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb))
I am trying to edit an image. I can open the image with Picturebox1.load(mypicture)
I can change the pixels/edit the picture by Dim img as new bitmap(picturebox1.image)
[Code]...
now here is the weird part. When I save the image the filesize INCREASES..but the picture dimensions are the same Example... TEST.PNG 1.3KB, when opened up via picturebox/saved the image is now 2.3KB
not sure why...i even though I specify system.drawing.imaging.imageformat.PNG
samething with JPG... it actually SHRINKS it evenmore.. example 88KB jpeg.. saved as jpeg is now 47.7KB...
I'm trying to pass an image showing to the user a countdown. For this, I'm using a separate thread where I'm checking when the countdown timer should be started, and when so, I draw an image for every 6 seconds passed.
What's annoying is when I pass the drawn image to the UI, the quality of the image is changed and it looks bad to the user.
This is my little script that handles the drawings:
I am working on a project related to saving an image captured from a scannner in a folder and in the database. The scan performs ok but when I save the image on disk and the path in the database I get the following error
I've developed an application that acquires images from my Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 using WIA. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to adjust the quality of the image taken by the camera. The camera has a 2MP lense, but the program will only acquire a picture of 320x240 pixels, which is the lowest resolution the camera has. How do I tell the camera to take a picture at one of it's other resolutions? IE: 640x480, 960x720, 1.3MP, or 2MP?
I got this code from this forum, it works perfectly but I have a problem where when you resize the images, the quality of the image becomes not as good, is there a way to keep it in the same quality as it is when resizing?[code]....
I had this question before "Resize image on the fly make the image lose quality online but locally works nice".And what i got now is that it's not a problem of local or online, i ran this resize on the server itself "dedicated server", and i got the same bad quality image, so the problem is in the IIS configurations.What in iis can make this bad quality image happen?
I'm using below code 2 add image into a picturebox during the run time. i could add image but when i clicked the picture to make it become smaller, the picture quality is blur which not as the initial picture.
I'm using iTextSharp to print a PDF document. Everything goes ok until I have to print the company logo in it. First I noticed that the logo had poor quality, but after testing with several images, I realize that was the iTextSharp rendering it poorly.The test I did to say this was to print the PDF using my code and then edit the document with Acrobat 8.0 and I drew an image. Then printed the two documents and saw the noticeable difference.My question is that if anyone know if this can be due to a scaling problem where I'm failing to tell iTextSharp how it must render the image or is an iTextSharp limitation.
I want to make a wallpaper changer because windows high compresses the the image so you see artifacts even if already use a jpeg or even a really high quality png or bmp.
I know what I need to do for all of it I just need to know how to save an image to a jpeg without it being compressed. I have tried using the encoderparamters and getcodecinfo aswell as setting the quality to 100 but I still get a really bad looking image in the end.
Is there a way where I can save an image to a jpeg without getting the crappy image quality like with visual basic?
I need to get a jpeg image from file system, feed it to DrawImage method for resizing and then save the result to a varbinary(MAX) field in a SQL Server table. How can I do the conversion from file system to image (from DrawImage method) to the varbinary(MAX)
how to save a jpeg image to the database. I am using fileopendialog to upload the image to the picturebox. This works fine but I now need to save this image back to the database. I am using an Oracle database (11g) and the image datatype is declared as a blob.
I have created a form that enables the user to add details about a bicycle, the functionality of it is fine. I have thought about allowing the user to write a jpeg image that relates to the ike being added and then at a later date when they want to search for this bike the image is also read to the same form as the details of the bike on the search form.[URL]..
I have an owner-drawn control where performance is an issue during quick repaints such as object drags, resizing and painting the selector square. i have noticed that several other apps, including Picasa, will temporarily draw a reduced-quality image during fast repaint scenarios and then update the image with a higher-quality version when the UI "settles down."
How should I (can I?) produce a lower-quality image to paint when many quick redraws are taking place? Are there other strategies similar to this i can employ to increase performance (or fake increased performance.) [code]...
What am i doing wrong on this code? im trying to get my form into a jpeg picture, but everytime it only saves a black screen of what im doing
Code: Private Shared Function BitBlt(ByVal hdcDest As IntPtr, ByVal nXDest As Integer, _ ByVal nYDest As Integer, ByVal nWidth As Integer, ByVal nHeight As Integer, _ ByVal hdcSrc As IntPtr, ByVal nXSrc As Integer, ByVal nYSrc As Integer, ByVal _
I'm reading a folder to assess the width x height of jpeg's, to classify them in various ways. Opening each as a bitmap and reading the bitmap width and height works but of course is laborious and very slow .... I've read various JPEG file format papers but retrieving the image pixel width and height seems none too obvious. Is there a logical way in VB to get this info quickly? My jpeg's are bog-standard ones made using VB's "Bmap.Save(Fname, ImageFormat.Jpeg)".
Alright, say I've made an animation in photoshop and exported it as a JPEG. I want to know if it's possible to change which frame of the animation the image will show. An example is if I made an image with 10 layers, and I want the 5th layer to show in a picturebox, how can I achieve this?
I have created a form in Visual Basic with two buttons, a PictureBox and a TextBox. I made the first button to load an image from my hard disk and show it in the PictureBox.What i want to do now is to make the second button to convert this image to binary and show the string in the TextBoxHere's the code for the first button:
I have the following code that gets a jpg image from sql which works fine.What i would now like to do is save this image as a file on my pc in a temp folder that i can use in a report. i would like to change the name of this image to the sheltercode.below is the code that i use to get the image from the sql table and populate into a picture box on my form. conn.Open() [code]
So i am converting a metafile (EMF to be exact) to a jpeg or gif (doesn't matter as long as it's compatible with browsers) and when I do the conversion, all of the transparent pixels turn black. I have no idea how to do this in GDI+ but here is the method I am using to save the file:
Dim Img As System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile = New System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile(stream) Img.Save(Server.MapPath("/FileName.gif"), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif)
I am trying to assign a button to let a resource ( JPEG image ) become the background of my form. But instead, the background becomes blank. Here is what I wrote:
Public Class Choose_Background Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Me.BackgroundImage = My_Project.My.Resources.african_lion
This is my code to get screen captures every certain interval of time. But each image is being around 150kb and I want to make it smaller. what matters is the image size in kb to be around 70kb ( almost the half ) .
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick Dim ScreenSize As Size = New Size(My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height) Dim screenGrab As New Bitmap(My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height)
I want to create a sort of slide show program. I want to get a folder full of images (bmp and jpeg file types) and have this program display it really quickly and then refresh to show another randome image really quickly. Then I want it to look into another folder and grab an image file from there that will be the last image and stays up. What I want to know is how will i go about getting the program to get the random image and then how will I get it to refresh instantly?
