save image as .jpg Labview

[eliel]

Hello,

I would like to know how can I open a image in Labview and save it in ".jpg".

because I know how can I import an image in labview and I know how can I save this picture, but when I save the image, it shows that it is "example.jpg" but she is not "jpg" because it is very...big. I think that the image show "JPG" but it is "BMP"

I import a image with 5 MB , and remove some part of it in Labview and when I save it, output is with 30 MB.

How can I save in ".JPG". and how can I do for the image don't stay so big.

Thank You.

How are you saving the image? Are you using Write JPEG File?

I'm using development vision and I'm saving with "IMAQ write Image and vision info File 2"..I see that this tool save in "PNG".

How can I save in "JPEG"?

I don't know anything about IMAQ. But take a look under Graphics and Sound/Graphics Formats. There is a VI called Write To JPEG File.

You need IMAQ Write File 2 instead of write with Vision Info. This is polymorphic VI. With right mouse click you can select JPEG Type:
