PagePlus X5: Issue creating jpeg websafe image

[Jymmetta Reeves]

I am trying to prepare a JPEG image so that they can be put on facebook for advertising. They are appearing as gray in color. I want them to be in full color as created. I do not get the websafe option in the pallate when I select export as picture for JPEG instead the program automatically blocks that option out. Need assist to get past this issue. Thank you.

24-bit JPG full colour images are "websafe." You don't need to limit yourself to grey scale 256 colour images.

Thank you for the feedback. I am not intending to limit myself it appears to me the software is causing the limitation. Do you have any thoughts on how to take a document created in PagePlusX5 and make it so that it can be posted in jpeg format to be viewed on Facebook?

Export the selection or entire page as a 24-bit JPG image

Hello, I tried your suggestion. When I go into the program to export as picture the box automatically appears with 8 bits per pixel and the palette showing as None (grey). I changed the bits to 24 bits per pixel and the palette changed from None (grey) to Gray. I do not get the option to select the websafe radio button. Based on your knowledge of PagePlusX5 is this issue something I have caused am I doing something wrong? How do I get past this problem so I can create a JPEG image?

Hi

How about attaching the PagePlus file here and maybe someone can work it out for you.

Here is a screenshot of how I have the Export as JPG settings to produce the color JPG

Hello and thank you for offering to look at my file.
Any suggestions you have will be appreciated.

Have a great day!

As I said in my first reply, 24-bit images are already websafe. The websafe and dithering options are greyed out because they have no meaning for 24-bit images.

Here is the jpg, but you need to go back into the file and convert all text to curves to improve it's legibility as an image.

I made no changes to your page nor to any other settings.

For what it's worth, I've never found the JPEG format to work well for images containing text.

Better *,png?

Or, what do you suggest?

Yes, PNG would be better, but I see that the OP specifically asked for JPEG.
