Saving raw images to a CD/files are too big!

I was the second shooter at a wedding, and the primary photographer asked me to send my raw images straight to her for processing. Music to my ears as less work for me!
However, when I went to burn my 1800 plus images to a CD, I realized the files would fill over 20 CD's. Seems a little kooky.
Beyond using an FTP site to send them (which I suspect would have similar size issues) is there a way to 'zip' or 'compress' these files to a CD, and still have the images arrive as full size, raw images?

A service like www.rapidshare.com will let you upload files that are up to 200MB in size without paying or registering, so if you can ZIP or Stuff the RAWs into archives a little less than 200MB in size then you could upload these via the Rapidshare website and the primary photographer should be able to download them. A program like WinRAR will split up a large archive into whatever size chunks you want. The drawback to doing this, of course, is that there are likely to be 60-80 200MB ZIPs involved so it could be tedious for you to upload and her to download them, one by one.
Otherwise, along the same lines are her initial request, if it's an option, a dual-layer DVD burners are available and will store about 9 GB per disc. I recently picked up a USB external DL burner for less than $90. You would need to check with her if she can read DVDs, of course.
Or 16GB SDHC cards are pretty cheap, at least online, and you could put them all on one of those and mail it.

DNG files are too big

I tried converting canon raw file to DNG but the dng files are 2 times at big as the canon raw files. What's up with that?

You can get it here. The latst converter is DNG 8.6. I use it all the time. Great for batch conversion and file re-naming before import to LR.
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Exported files are too big

i and a friend of mine archive files - scans - that are in the size of 200gb and above.
If we try to export them as version, wie both got an error message.
does anyone has the same problem with bigger images ?

I gather you are using Pages 5?
Just bad conversion.
Use TextEdit or LibreOffice [free] to resave them and they should shrink down to normal size.
Why are you using Pages in the first place? There are plenty of alternatives for what you are doing.
I would check exactly what you have in your document however.
I did a test export of the Bold Type Letter template [unchanged]:
.pages = 238 Kb
.pages (09 export) = 191 Kb
.pages (09) = 101 Kb
.pages (09 .doc export) = 24 Kb
.txt = 2 Kb
.docx = 10 Kb
.docx resaved from Word = 21Kb

Score printout: files are too big for printout since Pro 7

Hi there,
I have a serious problem printing scores with Pro7: the files appear to be too big, so I can't print them. When I try to print a simple 1 page part, I get the error: "printer out of memory" and I have a HP Laserjet with 8 Mb memory. A PDF from a 3 page part made in Logic 6.3 is 102Kb, a PDF from the same 3 page part opened in Pro7 is 2,4Mb! Everything seems normal: page setup 100% etc.
When I open a song made in Pro7 with Logic 6.3, the files are much much smaller. Does anybody know what's wrong, now I can't print scores with Pro7!
Thanx, Peter

Hello Rohan,
Thanks for your effort. I created a PDF-file with a totally different printerdriver. The result is the same: I get a very large file. A 3 page part PDF-file is 2,4 Mb, also with the other fake driver. I'm used to send PDF-files of sheet music through the internet and files this big are no option.
And very annoying: I can't print out scores using Pro7!
Best regards,

Files are too big to download...what do i do?

ok. i have been working on a french project constantly for about 3 days now.
we have to create a cooking show and edit a video to show to the class. my group decided to be all fancy and use a nice canon digital camera (not sure what kind, it's not mine)...i uploaded the videos to my macbook and all was going well until i realized about half of the files are missing. i now have all the video files i need on a flash drive and from there, i can view them via quicktime player, but that's all. it's strange because the sizes range from about 5 MB to 500 MB, and they're all pretty much the same length. can anyone explain this?
I have tried dragging these large files to iphoto and it cannot read it. when i drag it to my desktop, i get this message "the file '--' cannot be copied because there is not enough free space". When I drag it into a new even in iMovie 08, i get "Move Failed: error code 1429"). It is quite frustrating, because I can view the exact files i need, but I can't do anything with them.
After getting the message that there is not enough free space, I thought backing up my computer would help. I went to Best Buy and asked a guy there on the "Geek Squad" to help but he was a PC specialists and the mac specialists were not in that day.... so we just bought a 500 GB hard drive. I spent the night backing up my computer with Time Machine, which I think worked. Then, I went through and deleted unnecessary videos and pictures. Then I tried, once again, to drag the file to my desktop. I got the same message. It is THE most frustrating thing, and I have no idea what to do anymore. I have half of my cooking show videos and it won't work without the others. HELP.

Are you using Filvault perchance?
What format are all these other drives using?
errFSNotEnoughSpaceForOperation = -1429, /* There is not enough disk space to perform the requested operation */

Importing files are too big

Whenever I try to import my cds onto iTunes, in the bottom bar it says that the file will be about 500 MB. I know this isn't right because whenever I import on a PC or another MAC, it shows up at about 30 MB. My iTunes preferences are set on AAC, which I hear is suggested. I don't know what else to do...

It does make sense. You are probably importing your tunes in Apple Lossless or AIFF. You need to check your import settings.
1. Open iTunes Prefs > Advanced > Importing.
2. Make sure the "Import Using" is set to either AAC or MP3, whichever you prefer.
3. Click OK.
Now you probably need to make sure your existing files are transcoded.
1. Pull down Edit > View Options and click the Kind check box.
2. Sort your Library by the Kind column by clicking on it.
3. Highlight all the files that are not AAC or MP3.
4. Control+click the files and choose "convert selection to XXX."
Once that is done you can then delete the Lossless/AIFF files.

I saved my raw images as jpeg but they are too large to upload to photbox? I have 475 images.

....what should the pixel width be? The trouble is I dont know what size these images are going to be printed. I know they want some images enlarged onto canvas so the4y will need to be a very good quality?
The workflow I was suggesting doesn't need you to specify pixel dimensions: you specify the print size, in inches or whatever measurement is required (but usually it is inches for prints), along with the appropriate ppi and LR will do the math for you and re-size the image so that the pixel dimensions fit those criteria. Doing that, even for reasonably large prints, should see the JPEG file sizes drop quite a bit I would imagine; I use a 16MP D7000, and when I use PhotoBox I often print at 12"x8" (300dpi), which usually means that LR has to do a fair bit of downsizing (maybe -25%) in order to fit that output size; even with a very detailed image (e.g. a landscape with a lot of fine detail such as tree branches, leaves, etc), I rarely go over 15MB with the JPEG (very different story for a TIFF of course!).
What camera are you using here? I'm intrigued.
I think it's rather unfortuate that you have no idea what sizes your photos will be printed at, and if I were you, I'd try to get that sorted out before uploading anything to PhotoBox. Speak with the couple, show them the pictures you have, and get them to select the sizes they want them to be printed at - maybe a default size for the majority might suffice, and then they can pick out the favourites for larger sizes/canvas prints, etc. Make a note of all the sizes PhotoBox offer and show them your list whilst they look through the photos on-screen. IMHO, if you're unsure of the final print size then you're going to be making compromises by going for a "generic" size and then relying on the PhotoBox staff to up/downsample the images on the fly, and you'll definetely be compromising the output sharpening that LR has to offer. I'd personally much rather send them a finished file that's ready to go, without the need for them to start messing around re-sizing it. But if you really can't establish an intended print size before uploading, then I think DJ_paige is spot-on with his advice - but it is a compromise.
On a side note, if you've gone to the trouble of processing these images in LR, then do make sure you turn off their "auto-enhancement" option in your account preferences. This is switched on by default for new accounts, and it will ruin all you hard work developing/processing your photos. I speak from experience: I use them every once in a while for prints, and they once mistakenly overlooked my "don't use auto-enhancement" preference setting - the photos I got were junk. Happily, they admitted their mistake when I complained and sent me a fresh set within 24-hours.

GB storing deleted data, files are too big!

Hi All
I recorded a full concert, 2-3 hours, 8 audio tracks. This came out to about 4GB. Now I want to edit down each song individually, so I cut everything out but the song, and "Save As..." its own file. After cutting down to one song, the file is still 4GB! It seems that GB still stores all of the deleted data. I want to do this for 20-30 songs, and I don't want each file to be 4GB large. Is there anyway to trim the data that it is retaining?
Thanks

It's kind of a tedious workaround, especially if I have to go through that for 8 tracks x 30 songs.
while i agree it would be a nice feature, you have to remember, you're re-purposing GB, your use is not the one for which it was designed; one song per project.
you can always send Apple a feature request with the Feedback menuItem (under the GaageBand menu) to let them know

An error occurred saving the images to the chosen file location

I am trying to save the scans from my HP Officejet 6500. I receive the following error message:
An error occurred saving the images to the chosen file location.
I have Win 7.
I can scan and save if I choose to use the picture option but I can't use the feeder with the picture option. It is only good if I have 1 page.

I received this exact same message:
an error occurred saving the images to the chosen file location.
8,[(8,106,0)]
I have not had the time to verify this, but I suspect the security settings on any other location you specify are not the same as those of the default. i.e. C:\Users\%Username%\Documents\My Scans
When I used the default location and base name the software provided, it worked.
My guess is Microsoft and/or HP may have changed the security permissions for something in the path folders and the Scanning Software is therefore not permitted to write into the location you entered.

Hi! I need help, today I connected my mac Book Air to a tv for a presentation and as soon as I conected it the image on my screen went bigger. And I cant find the way to put it back as it was before. The Images are too big! heelp

HT4847 my backup file is too big? how can i change some of the items that are being backed up to decrease size?

my backup file is too big? how can i change some of the items that are being backed up to decrease size?

In iPhoto, Select All the Photos you want to move... Then goto > File > Export >
Choose the settings as seen here
Click Export and select your External Drive
Best to create a Folder to put them in... and away you go...

Imported files (from vhs to digital camcorder) are too big to handle.

When I import my vhs footage (through camcorder) to imovie... the files
are so big they take most of my hard drive. For example the size is about
2GB for a minute of footage. Any ideas why? Thanks!!

They are the same. A DV file is often referred to as a stream because it has a "stream" of continuous frames. 29.97/second to be exact. Some camcorders record to a hard drive or optical disc and these usually use MPEG compression methods which rob you of your "stream"; going from 29.97 frames per second to two. Which is also the source of mucho frustration in trying to edit these formats! Stream is also used because Firewire streams data to your computer: 1-2-3-4-5-6; while USB will break data into packets (1 & 4, 2 & 5, 3 & 6), sends the packets to a computer and the computer needs to reassemble the info to 1-2-3-4-5-6.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

The offset in the file is too big"? Other than, hey it's FAT formatted, etcetera!

Does anyone have an answer for "The offset in the file is too big" error while creating a file using QT API "writeToFile"?
I mean something other it's FAT formatted, not enough space, et cetera. Anyone?

First how much free space do you have on your boot drive. For normal use it's recommended to have a minimum of 10 GB free space. If you use iDVD up that to 20-25 GB. Lots of cache and swap space is needed.
Create the slideshow in iPhoto, set the disiplay size ratio to 4:3 and export it out of iPhoto at the medium or large size.
Open a new project in iDVD and add the QT file to the iDVD menu being careful to avoid any dropzones.
With a 90 minute slideshow you can use a single layer DVD disk. iDVD doesn't care about the file size of the media added to a project, only the playing time of the project, including menus.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
You shouldn't try to create the slideshow in iDVD with still photos if the number of still photos is larger than 99. That creates a pause or stall when playing back on many set top players.

Photos Are Too Big

Good morning.
I've just started exploring the possibility of making a photo album in iPhoto. When I place a photo on a full page, the photos are too big for the 'frame'- that is, the frame crops part of my photos off. I have tried using the resizing tool but find that the photos are already resized to their smallest.
Is there another way to deal with this problem?
Thanks,
BurntMonkey

John:
iPhoto puts up that warning when the resolution of the image falls below 180 dpi. A lot would depend on how far it falls below. They will not appear as good as they do on screen but that goes for all of the photos. The monitor display usually has more contrast and snap than the printed version. But that's not to mean the printed version doesn't or won't look good.
You can approximate the dpi of the photo for the frame that's giving the warning. The pages are 8.5 x 11. Estimate the size of the frame and divide the frame's dimension into the pictures corresponding pixel dimension.
What are the pixel dimensions of a typical photo that's giving you the warning sign and what page layout/frame are the in?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Saving raw images to a CD/files are too big!
