On the Output tab you can set the filename and format of the new file created, together with the file format settings such as compression to be used...norman jr wrote:I know how to load file to be converted in the XnConvert software but I cant figure how to advise the software to convert it to a jpeg.
If you are simply converting input file(s) from one format to another, there is no need to set any actions on the Actions tab.
The operation of XnConvert with its tabbed interface is reasonably self-explanatory if you study each tab in turn, and it is worth taking at least a quick look at all the options to avoid possible surprises! Always work on copies of files if you are not sure...

- Input tab
- Add files... (or Add folder...)
Select the FilmWorks files you'd like to convert.- Actions tab
- Clear all
Since we're only going to change the format of the pictures, we have to make sure that all “actions” (e.g. Resize, Adjust, Sharpen) are discarded.- Output tab
- Select a destination Folder for the converted files.
- Use the settings in the screenshot for the rest of the options.
Note: I went for PNG as the output format. It's widely supported by graphics programs as well as web browsers. Unlike JPEG however, it offers lossless compression which means that the quality of your photos won't be degraded during conversion.- Hit the Convert button.
Re: convert sfw files to jpeg
Dear Sirs:
I dont know what I'm doing wrong. I input the 20 files I want to convert. I enter nothing in the actions tab; in output I just enter the folder I want to place the pics in, I enter the formant "png", i dont enter or change anything in settings, click on convert, and it shows 20 errors. I must be doing something wrong but I dont know what. Sorry to bother you but I would like to convert these pics on the isk. Please help. Many Thanks

Re: convert sfw files to jpeg
I'm assuming that Seattle Filmworks SFW is a supported format for XnConvert, and that no plug-in is required, as implied by XnTriq's post, I think.norman jr wrote:I dont know what I'm doing wrong.

Could you please upload a screenshot of your Status tab showing the errors reported?
Do you have an example file you could upload, in a ZIP archive so that it can be attached, 2MiB maximum attachment size?
Re: convert sfw files to jpeg
I copied the errors from my status page after converting. If you need a screen shot I can take a picture with my camera and send it. Many Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it.

Re: convert sfw files to jpeg
Which operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) and which version of XnConvert (About tab) do you use, Norman? I'm asking because there was an issue (“create error”) some time ago that has since been fixed.
Re: convert sfw files to jpeg
I'm running Windows 8. XnView version 1.74 windows x64(april 4, 2017)libformat Ver 6.95

Unfortunately I haven't been successful in my attempts to reproduce the problem on Windows 7 with XnConvert v1.74, which is why I have to ask you to provide us with a screenshot of your settings in the Options tab.norman jr wrote:I'm running Windows 8.
