Filter Control Parameter | Type | Default Value | Available Values | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
DISABLETRANSFORMS | AT_BOOL | FALSE | TRUE, FALSE | Set to TRUE to load the image without applying geometric and color transforms that are specified in the metadata. |
LOADOPTION | MODE | IG_FPX_LOAD_DEFAULT | IG_FPX_LOAD_DEFAULT = 0, IG_FPX_LOAD_NOLESS = 1, IG_FPX_LOAD_NOGREATER = 2 |
Allows you to select a resolution according to specified page width and height.
Set to IG_FPX_LOAD_DEFAULT to load the highest (or the only) resolution in the resolution hierarchy. Set to IG_FPX_LOAD_NOLESS to load the lowest resolution which dimensions are not less than PAGEWIDTH and PAGEHEIGHT parameters. Set to IG_FPX_LOAD_NOGREATER to load the highest resolution which dimensions are not greater than PAGEWIDTH and PAGEHEIGHT parameters.

PAGEBACKGROUND | RGBQUAD | {0, 0, 0, 0}; | RGBQUAD | Background to use for images that have Alpha channel. |
PAGEHEIGHT | AT_DIMENSION | 0 | AT_DIMENSION | See LOADOPTION. |
PAGEWIDTH | AT_DIMENSION | 0 | AT_DIMENSION | See LOADOPTION. |
QUALITY | UINT | 70 | 1...100 | Quality to use for saving JPEG compressed FPX images. |
SAVEFROMDIB | AT_BOOL | TRUE | TRUE, FALSE | TRUE to save pixel data from HIGEAR. FALSE to save pixel data that were loaded from FlashPix image and stored internally. This allows changing FlashPix metadata, including geometric and color transforms, and saving the image without changing its original pixel data. |
SETSCANNEDIMGSIZE | AT_BOOL | FALSE | TRUE, FALSE | Use HIGEAR resolution to set ScannedImageSize tag when saving the image. |
The FlashPix File Format was created to make the desktop handling of digital color photographic images easy, enjoyable, affordable, and commonplace. It was developed and published by Eastman Kodak Company in collaboration with Hewlett-Packard, Live Picture Inc. and Microsoft.
Kodak is marketing the Kodak Image Magic system, which includes such components as a FlashPix CD, digital cameras, scanners, and print services - that can be accessed through the internet, or through your local film developer. You do not, however, have to use digital equipment to put your photographs onto CD. You can still take your "old-fashioned" camera film to a film developer and request that it be sent to Kodak for transfer to a CD. You can also bring in existing negatives and have them transferred to CD. Ultimately, Kodak envisions a world where amateur PC users can put their latest photographs into digital storage, improve them and enhance them, drop them into card or calendar templates, and E-mail them off to Grandma and Grandpa's home computer.
When you think FlashPix file format, three major structural features should come to mind: Source Plus Transform storage scheme, hierarchy of resolutions, and tiled storage. These three key features best illustrate the purpose of the format and also set it apart from most others.
The FlashPix is available as an ImageGear component, which brings you the core of the FlashPix features:
