Other image formats are supported via external viewers. If an image format is not supported internally, a placeholder icon will display wherever the media is shown. Double-clicking the icon will launch an associated external viewer (as defined in the Windows Registry). EMu also provides support for image translation between any of the formats listed above. Other formats may be translated by external programs either on the client machine or the EMu server. |

Examples
This entry specifies the creation of two additional images when an image is added to a Multimedia record. The first is a JPEG image, 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high, where the aspect ratio is maintained and the image may be enlarged if the original is smaller than 640 x 480 pixels. The second image is a PNG image, 150 pixels wide by 150 pixels high, where the aspect ratio is not maintained (i.e. the image may become distorted) and enlargement is possible:

Note: The standard EMu thumbnail image is still generated.
The first image may be used as the "full size" image on a website, whereas the second may be a "thumbnail" image for a website. Note that the standard EMu thumbnail image would still be generated. It is effectively an entry in the format 90:90:JPG:true:true
.
This entry will also generate two images. The first is a 600x800 JPG with a compression quality of 85%:
