All of our sets are converted to pdf format, but if you find one we missed, this information should help you. But also please let us know Very good news: For PC users,( MAC users, sorry this won't work.) Our Scrapbook Graphics in our sets can now be exported as .jpg format graphics for use in other programs by downloading and installing the updated version of the micro-viewer, now called eFax Messenger. You can download the eFax Messenger set-up file here. Once it is downloaded, double click on the icon and it will install itself. Then, you can open the new eFax Messenger Viewer and use it to open any of our existing Scrapbook Graphics Files.Go FILE/OPEN and navigate to the file you wqnt to open. Click "OPEN". From the new viewer you can 'export' as .jpg, and all the pages can be exported as individual files. The .tif format only exports the first page for some reason. In the future, all of our new Scrapbook Graphic Files will be in the new format and you will be able to export .jpg files from them directly. Additional note: When moving our downloaded sets on your computer, use Edit/Copy...Edit/Paste, NOT 'SAVE AS'. Click Here to Download the eFax Messenger Set-Up Program. Seems the new features are for PC users only--so sorry Mac users. Maybe the Mac version will be updated soon.
Helpful customer Dena Turner has put together a step-by-step guide to getting the best possible prints from the exported graphics (you may want to print this for reference later): Here are a few tips that might assist customers who use your pages in other applications: 1. When exporting the pages to JPEG format from eFax Messenger Plus, select FILE-EXPORT and then select the JPEG option from the SAVE AS drop-down menu. 2. Slide the resolution bar to 300 dpi. 3. Select "Larger Size/High Quality" from the COMPRESSION drop-down menu. 4. Click SAVE. This will give you another pop-up menu to select the number of pages, which corresponds to the number of jpeg files you want exported. For example, if there are three pages in the file, selecting 1-3 will result in one jpeg for each page in the set. 5. Open your JPEG in your photo editor application, such as PhotoShop. The image size will be very large, 35"x45". Using the photo editor options, change the image size to your desire, but make sure that your resolution is high. I suggest 300dpi for printing and 150 for screen use. 6. If desired, use the SHARPENING tool in your photo editor application. 7. Save the file as a JPEG. Notes: * I used PhotoShop following the above steps and the resolution was perfect for scrapbooking. I wouldn't send it to press, however. =) * The final file size was 3.4MB; but that is simply the downside to working with graphics and photos. Not surprising at all. * This also allows the user to set the page at whatever size he/she desires. For example, if one has a dye-sub printer with a large paper format, then the user can change the image size from the 35"x45" to 11"x17" (or whatever size is desired) while maintaining the resolution. THANKS DENA !
