Tiff, Photoshop to JPG

[tweetie]

I want to do the following:
-place Photoshop and/or Tiff files in a database as a blob
-let Servoy generate thumbnails (JPG) on-the-fly in a form on request

What i don't want:
-storing 1 Photoshop file and 1 pre-made thumbnail in the database (becoz these files will be changed a lot)

Is there a bean for these kind of operations??

Many thankx in advance

This is probably not a good idea because to generate the preview on the fly the Photoshop file (with a size of many MB) has to travel trought the network to Servoy Client.
Imagine many clients doing the same thing --> your network will be pretty busy!

A better strategy would be to generate a new preview of the Photoshop image (on-the-fly) every time the image is uploaded.

(I know you said that's not what you want)

I can live with that.....
Just as long the thumbnailing is done by Servoy and its bean....

Maybe I expressed myself wrong....
what i dont want is a client saving a Photoshop file into the database and then make a thumbnail with Photoshop and save the thumbnail into the database.....

servoy has a built in thumbnailer.
do a search on the forum and you'll find loads of references.

If you mean elements.a116.getThumbnailJPGImage()
This makes a thumbnail of a jpg or icon into a jpg thumbnail.

I need to make a thumbnail off Photoshop (.psd) file and a tiff-file.

If I search the forum on Photoshop or tif...I don't find my problem....

Also I have been looking for beans....but no luck yet....I'll keep on searching
