Error exporting into Jpeg format - error code 7

Post by gorby »

Hi there,

I have an error message saving into Jpeg format. Other formats are ok.
In another project I have no problem, but in my last one - no success. The error code is 7 and the message is "Not converted: Can't save this bitmap in this format !". I use it from Delphi if it makes any difference.

What's wrong?

Thank you in advance!

I found that not every image produces error message. I guess that there are some limitations to store pictures in Jpeg format. Does somebody know any?

TIA,
Alex

Yes, JPEG can only save picture in grey or RGB mode. If you have a picture with colormap, you must convert it in RGB.
I have added a new flag in the next release.
