Working With Your JPEG Files

Section 1: What is a JPEG?

JPEG is short for the 'Joint Photographic Experts Group', a group of experts nominated to produce standards for continuous tone image coding.

The best known standard from JPEG is IS 10918-1 (ITU-T T.81), which is the first of a multi-part set of standards for still image compression. This allows you to create files (such as photographs, drawings, and most clip-art) that can be archived on a CD-R for viewing on the AD-1110W, computer, or the web.

For more information about JPEG’s, please visit www.jpeg.org

Section 2: How to Create a JPEG

Using your computer and a favorite computer software, you can create JPEG files capable of being played back on you TV Screen.

1)Open your computer software.

2)Locate the file menu and choose Open

3)Depending on your software, you can:

-Open an existing file from your hard drive

-Open an existing file from a Disc (such as a 3.5 floppy disc)

-Scan an Image into your work area

Note: If you do not have an existing file, locate the file menu and choose New. This will open up a blank document which you can work from.

4)Once your existing file is open or new file is created, you can begin making modifications to your image.

Note: You can save any file in the JPEG format.

5)When modifications are complete, locate your file menu and choose Save or Save as.

Note: Other saving options might be Export, Export to the Web, or Save a Copy As. Refer to your computer software’s help menu or manual.

Once the file saving option is open, insert a file name in the “File Name” text box. When choosing a file name, be sure to choose a file name that you can recognize.

This will allow to you to easily select the files you want to

view on each CD. Underscores and numbers are optional and may be used in the file name as well.

Example:

-Johna_Guy_pic

-portfoliopic

-2000flowchart

In the “Save as Type” drop down menu, select JPEG or JPEG Interchange Format.

Note: Most computer software automatically defaults to adding the .(dot) extension to the end of each file name. It is often best if you add the .jpg extension after each file name to insure universal readability.

Example:

-Johna_Guy_pic.jpg

-portfoliopic.jpg

-2000flowchart.jpg

6)After your file name and file type are chosen, click on the Save or Ok button to save you file as a JPEG.

7)To view your JPEG files on your TV screen, burn all your files on a CD-R disc using your computer software. Be sure to “close” your CD-R session after making each CD.

Note: In order to create a CD (using a CD-R disc) you will need CDRs, CD burning software, and a CD burning computer drive. Check in the Computer Department of your local computer store for more information about CD-Rs, CD burning software, and CD burning computer drives.
