hehe thx chad but i wasnt talking about that (i am not that much noob) :)

i want to extract the thumbnail from the image.
there is a thumbnail stored in the JPEG i want to extract due to speed
reasons
(much faster than)

with GetThumbnailIma ge, i have the problem that i have to load the Image
first, thats
a problem because my images have a size of about 2MB each.

regards and thx

> At any rate, you might be able to use the ImageCodecInfo object
to enumerate through the specific features of the image/jpeg
MIME type and get a binary stream, but I don't know much
about that, so you're on your own.


ok thx anyway.
a digital camera creates a thumbnail of the jpeg and store it in the jpeg
itself.
just have to find out, where and how to get it :))

Looks like Chad was right, you just aren't looking (reading) hard enough,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...imagetopic.asp

"If the Image object contains an embedded thumbnail image, then this method
retrieves the embedded thumbnail and scales it to the requested size. If the
Image object does not contain an embedded thumbnail image, this method
creates a thumbnail image by scaling the main image."

I wanted to do the same at one point, but never got around to it. I've
saved these two bookmarks to help out, should I ever get around to it. If
you get it working, I'd be greatful if you can e-mail me the results!

I found a script that converts a regular size image to a thumbnail. It's a wonderful script, except the thumbnail quality is a bit low. I'd like to add the following code to improve the output quality of the thumbnail. Can someone direct me where to incorporate this code? Thanks. Code to insert: graphic.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic; graphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;

I'd like to think I can work out most issues, but this one is kicking my butt. What's worse, is that I know I can't be the first guy to want to add a thumbnail to jpg that doesn't already have one. I see it in plenty of other applications. Yet I can't seem to make it work despite being so very close. I know the problem has to be in how I am making the PropertyItem of the thumbnail - because if I comment out lines 24-34 the JPG saves fine,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
