Hi! I've got a solution that uses ExportFM to generate images of different sizes that I use on my website: small, medium and a high-res blow-up that is supposed to be the four megapixel image that comes out of my digital camera(1704 X 2272). The thing is that if I edit an image with Photoshop before importing it into FileMaker, FileMaker treats the image as if it were 681 X 908 pixels, when in fact the image is much larger.

It works like this... If I view the image within FileMaker in an enormous image field, the image appears as if it were 681 X 908. If I copy the image in FileMaker and paste it into Photoshop, I get a 681 X 908 image. If I use ExportFM with no size constraints, I get a 681 X 908 image. BUT... if I use the "Export Field Contents" feature, I get an image with the original dimensions (usually 1704 X 2272).

If the image comes right out of my camera (no editing/saving with photoshop), FileMaker shows and copies the image with the original dimensions. It looks big and copies big.

The only thing I can think is that Photoshop is doing something to the metadata of the image that is confusing FileMaker.

The "Export Field Content" feature won't work for my application because I need the exported image to have a different name from the original, set by calculation and included in my html, etc...

Does anyone out there know anything about this?

Thanks!

Try this test:

1) open your 1704 X 2272 image in Photoshop

2) Select Image>Image Size from the menu

3) Uncheck the Resample Image checkbox

4) Type 72 in the "Resolution:" box and Click OK

5) Save your file and see if it shows up in Filemaker correctly.
