## 🆕 JPEG Conversion (Enhanced Feature)
|
|
480
|
+
|
|
481
|
+
### High-Performance RAW to JPEG Conversion
|
|
482
|
+
|
|
483
|
+
Convert RAW files to optimized JPEG format with advanced compression options and intelligent settings analysis.
|
|
484
|
+
|
|
485
|
+
#### Basic JPEG Conversion
|
|
486
|
+
|
|
487
|
+
```javascript
|
|
488
|
+
const processor = new LibRaw();
|
|
489
|
+
await processor.loadFile("photo.cr2");
|
|
490
|
+
|
|
491
|
+
// Basic conversion with default settings
|
|
492
|
+
const result = await processor.convertToJPEG("output.jpg");
|
|
493
|
+
|
|
494
|
+
// High-quality conversion with custom options
|
|
495
|
+
const result = await processor.convertToJPEG("high-quality.jpg", {
|
|
496
|
+
quality: 95, // JPEG quality (1-100)
|
|
497
|
+
chromaSubsampling: "4:2:2", // Better chroma for print
|
|
498
|
+
trellisQuantisation: true, // Advanced compression
|
|
499
|
+
optimizeCoding: true, // Huffman optimization
|
|
500
|
+
});
|
|
501
|
+
|
|
502
|
+
console.log(`File size: ${result.metadata.fileSize.compressed / 1024}KB`);
|
|
503
|
+
console.log(`Compression: ${result.metadata.fileSize.compressionRatio}x`);
|
|
504
|
+
console.log(`Processing time: ${result.metadata.processing.timeMs}ms`);
|
|
505
|
+
```
|
|
506
|
+
|
|
507
|
+
#### Web-Optimized Conversion with Resizing
|
|
508
|
+
|
|
509
|
+
```javascript
|
|
510
|
+
// Convert and resize for web use
|
|
511
|
+
const webResult = await processor.convertToJPEG("web-optimized.jpg", {
|
|
512
|
+
quality: 80, // Good quality for web
|
|
513
|
+
width: 1920, // Resize to 1920px width (maintains aspect ratio)
|
|
514
|
+
progressive: true, // Progressive loading
|
|
515
|
+
mozjpeg: true, // Superior compression algorithm
|
|
516
|
+
optimizeScans: true, // Optimize for faster loading
|
|
517
|
+
});
|
|
518
|
+
|
|
519
|
+
// Create thumbnail
|
|
520
|
+
const thumbResult = await processor.convertToJPEG("thumbnail.jpg", {
|
|
521
|
+
quality: 85,
|
|
522
|
+
width: 400,
|
|
523
|
+
height: 300,
|
|
524
|
+
chromaSubsampling: "4:2:2", // Better quality for small images
|
|
525
|
+
});
|
|
526
|
+
```
|
|
527
|
+
|
|
528
|
+
#### AI-Powered Optimal Settings
|
|
529
|
+
|
|
530
|
+
```javascript

## Thumbnail Extraction
|
|
996
|
+
|
|
997
|
+
Extract high-quality thumbnails from RAW files:
|
|
998
|
+
|
|
999
|
+
```javascript
|
|
1000
|
+
const LibRaw = require("lightdrift-libraw");
|
|
1001
|
+
|
|
1002
|
+
async function extractThumbnails() {
|
|
1003
|
+
const processor = new LibRaw();
|
|
1004
|
+
|
|
1005
|
+
try {
|
|
1006
|
+
await processor.loadFile("photo.cr2");
|
|
1007
|
+
|
|
1008
|
+
// Check if thumbnail exists
|
|
1009
|
+
const hasThumb = await processor.thumbOK();
|
|
1010
|
+
if (hasThumb) {
|
|
1011
|
+
// Extract thumbnail
|
|
1012
|
+
await processor.unpackThumbnail();
|
|
1013
|
+
|
|
1014
|
+
// Get thumbnail data
|
|
1015
|
+
const thumbData = await processor.createMemoryThumbnail();
|
|
1016
|
+
console.log(
|
|
1017
|
+
`Thumbnail: ${thumbData.width}x${thumbData.height}, ${thumbData.dataSize} bytes`
|
|
1018
|
+
);
|
|
1019
|
+
|
|
1020
|
+
// Save to file
|
|
1021
|
+
await processor.writeThumbnail("thumbnail.jpg");
|
|
1022
|
+
}
|
|
1023
|
+
|
|
1024
|
+
await processor.close();
|
|
1025
|
+
} catch (error) {
|
|
1026
|
+
console.error("Error:", error.message);
|
|
1027
|
+
}
|
|
1028
|
+
}
|
|
1029
|
+
```
|
|
1030
|
+
|
|
1031
|
+
### Batch Thumbnail Extraction
|
|
1032
|
+
|
|
1033
|
+
Extract thumbnails from all RAW files:
|
|
1034
|
+
|
|
1035
|
+
```bash
|
|
1036
|
+
# Extract thumbnails from all RAW files in sample-images/
|
|
1037
|
+
npm run extract:thumbnails
|
|
1038
|
+
```
|
|
1039
|
+
|
|
1040
|
+
This creates:
|
|
1041
|
+
|
|
1042
|
+
- Individual JPEG thumbnails in `sample-images/thumbnails/`
|
|
1043
|
+
- Interactive gallery viewer (`index.html`)
|
|
1044
|
+
- Comprehensive extraction report
|
|
1045
|
+
|
|
1046
|
+
**Sample Results:**
|
|
1047
|
+
|
|
1048
|
+
- **21/21 files processed successfully** (100% success rate)
|
|
1049
|
+
- **Formats:** CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, RW2, DNG
|
|
1050
|
+
- **Quality:** 380KB - 13.4MB thumbnails (preserving original quality)
|
|
1051
|
+
- **Performance:** ~50ms average extraction time
|
|
1052
|
+
|
|
1053
|
+
