Syntax

Saving an image in a file in JPEG format Hide the details

<Result> = dSaveImageJPEG(<Image name> , <File name> [, <Quality> [, <Exif tag>]])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the image was saved,
False otherwise. To find out the error details, use ErrorInfo associated with the errMessage constant.

<Image name>: Character string (with or without quotes) or Image variable

Name of Image control, Bar Code control or Web Camera control to use. The Image controls found in a report cannot be used.
Name of the Image control or Web Camera control to use.
Name of the Image control to use.
Name of the Image variable to use.
This type of variable is not available.

<File name>: Character string (with quotes)

Name and full (or relative) path of JPEG file. A UNC path can be used. The file extension is optional.
Caution:
The destination directory must exist in order for the image to be saved.
The existence of the JPEG file is not checked. This file is automatically overwritten if it already exists.
Name and full path of JPEG file to create. The file extension is optional.

<Quality>: Optional integer

Quality of the image saved. Value included between 1 and 100 (80 by default). Lower image quality translates into higher image compression rate and smaller file size.

<Exif tag>: Optional constant (or combination of constants)

Save the Exif tags modified by ImageInfoModify:
imgAddThumbnail Adds a thumbnail into the image file (<File name>).
If there is a thumbnail in the image file displayed in the Image control, this constant is not taken into account.
imgProgressiveJPEG Used to save the image in progressive JPEG format. This format is mainly used for the Web sites. It allows the pages to be loaded faster (the images being loaded and displayed progressively).
imgGrayScale Used to save the image in black and white ("Grayscale" display mode).
imgSaveTag Saves the Exif tags.
If there is a thumbnail in the image file displayed in the Image control, a new thumbnail is recalculated.
By default, the Exif tags are not saved, no operation is performed on the thumbnails.
This parameter is available only if <Control name> corresponds to the name of an Image control.
This parameter is not available.
