File type choice - Help.

[Pierre Bellavance]

I would like to know where I can find more information (advantages / disadvantages) about the various file systems supported by Elements.

Can I use the JPG2000 file system in Elements?

Thanks

Pierre

Pierre,

JPG2000 (JPX/JP2) IS supported by Elements, but as yet not by much else, so I'd use extreme care when saving to that format.

Bob,

I've just tried saving a .TIF image under JPG2000, and Elements doesn't offer this save option. Where is it?

Thanks

Bob, I think it was one of the things you get from "download new recipes", but I know what Pierre is asking. I have it, but it doesn't show up as a save option anywhere. It seems that I can open jpg2000 files, but not create them. Should it be that way?

Barbara, my PE2 shows JPG2000 available under Save As when I'm working with
an RGB image. However, it won't show up for Indexed Color. Could that be a
factor?

Barbara,

If you can Open a JPG 2000, you should be able to make them (File, Save As).

And Chuck, JPG and JPG2000 is an RGB 24bit color mode only format. No indexed color .. that's a GIF option only.

No, it's not that. Maybe time to delete prefs again. I'll let you know if that does it.

[BobHill]

I believe it's the same filter, Barbara. Let us know what you find.

Bob

[Barbara Brundage]

I mean I don't see it as an option in the list, Bob. Deleting prefs didn't bring it back, either.

[Pierre Bellavance]

Does anyone know where I can download this feature?

Pierre

[BobHill]

That makes sense, Chuck. True enough, you have to be in 24bit RGB mode to have the option to begin with.

Hi Pierre
I checked my PSE2 and couldnt find the JPG2000 file open/save as. I have just downloaded the plugin from the Adobe site and copied the plugin to the plugin folder and hey presto, I can now access and save these type of files.

Hi, Derek. I think Pierre wants to know where you found it--I can't remember.
