Why are my images way smaller when exporting out of Aperture?

I import my photos, work on them...it's going well...but, once I export them out to put them on a external harddrive, the photos are going from approx. 3 mb at 300dpi...to about 700kb-1mb at 300 dpi.
I'm exporting them as jpeg at full size.
I didn't crop them...I can't figure it out.
Anyone has that issue?
Thanks!
IMAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

In Aperture on the menu bar go to Aperture >> Presets >> Image Export >> and check/adjust the image quality for your different presets or create new ones.
Hope that helps.

Why are 3D objects incredibly small when exported from Photoshop CS6?

When I attempt to export 3D objects for use in Apple's iBooks Author software—say, a Collada 3D model of Earth for a children's science book—from Photoshop CS6, the object comes out impossibly small or completely invisible. It will work just fine in Photoshop, but if I view it in Finder using Quick Look, open it in Preview, or drop it into an iBooks Author project, the object appears so small that it's useless. No amount of scaling it in said software corrects the issue, either.
What happened? Is there a new export preset I'm missing? I used this exact same process in Photoshop CS5, and it worked wonderfully.
Thank you!

HI,
Am also having similar problem with exporting 3d model into ibook or iauthor.
Any help ?

Why are my images being pixelated when using free transform?

HI.
I am pretty comfortbale with PS but stil learning more of the finer details. I can't find an answer for this on any help topics or threads.
I often bring several images into a document or workflow and it seems that when I reduce an image that's too big for the canvas, it looses it's quality as soon as I break out the transform tool and becomes very pixelated. Any thoughts?
Thanks very much

Thanks for both of your suggestions. My images are at 100ppi resolution and I am viewing the documents at about 150% the entire time. My image interpolation is set for bicubit (best for smooth gradient).
I've tried to reproduce the problem in different ways before replying here and think I've narrowed it down a bit. It seems that when I use the File->Place way to insert an image into an existing document, I don't run into this pixelation or image degredation issue. It's only when I drag an image from one document to another using tabbed document introduced in CS4 (I'm using CS5 btw).
If I have document 1 open and drag an image (or layer) from document 2 into document 1, then resize that image in document 1, I get a loss of quality. Not sure if that helps anyone else. Also not sure why this is hapenning as the ability to drag layers back and forth is pretty handy and I'd rather not give it up.

Why are my images suddenly desaturating when opening in Photoshop?

HELP!
When I am opening images in Photoshop now they are desaturated. I can open images that are 5 years old and it does it for every one. I thought it was a Photomatix issue but realized it happens with every image in my catalog
Thanks!

"Catalog"? Are you referencing Ps Elements perhaps?

Why are my images so small in Acrobat?

I am using Acrobat Professional 7 and am trying to make a PDF of some ten .jpg images including their file names. Some images appear correct while other images appear to be real small on the page while they are the right size on the thumbnail while others yet are both very small on the page and on the thumbnail. I first thought it had to do with the original resolution of the images but found later that even if all images are 96 dpi some ore fine and others are small. I tried to change settings but no joy. If anyone has a suggestion I would be grateful.

Yes that is how i created the PDF from multiple files. But I probably was not clear. The images are all about the same size, about 1400x1000 pixels at 96 dpi. And so my problem is that they do not appear as the same size in the PDF, some are file, others are very small.

Why are my images saving grey when they should be white?

Hi all,
I need to create a header for my blog, which I've done and uploaded it here; testertown.blogspot.com (apologies for the name, it's just to design the template before uploading)
In the Photoshop window it comes up brilliant white background, brilliant colours.
But when I upload it it's like it has a grey haze over it?
I'm using Photoshop 9, and have never had any trouble before, I got rid of the blog template I've been using to see if it's being caused by that but no luck.
I've tried uploading the image to photobucket and then inserting it like that, still the same.
I've tried using a transparent background, upping the contrast and brightness of the whole image, starting with a white background in all of the available options: CMYK, Lab, RGB.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've created a blog header before and it's come out white, with no problems or altering..
I have downloaded fonts which I'm using as the header, but the whole image is grey, not just the font area.
Many thanks,
Jess

Why are my files not available when checked out?

I have a relatively new Win 7 box, running TCS 4. So in Frame 11, I have checked out a book (using CMS/SharePoint) and everything checks out ok. But when I go to edit the files, they all have question marks and if I try to open them, the message is "cover.fm does not exist." for example.
Also, a long file directory is showing instead of just the file name.
Other users with similar setups are not having this problem.
I can work with other books just fine, but not this one (which is the MAIN one I use FM for!).
Help!

FM uses the relative path from the book location for the filename displays in the book. If the book and files are all in the same location, then the FM will just display the filename. I'm not certain how it's handling things if you're checking things out of a repository, but it should have everything in the same folder, so relative naming should be expected.

Why are the fonts so small since I upgraded? I have difficulty reading folder names even when I wear my reading glasses.

Kirby:
. What version of OS X?
10.6.8 - latest Snow Leopard.
. How are you determining the size of the Vault?
Using Finder: "Size 5.8 MB on disk".
. What exactly did you do that you describe as "I decided to set up a Vault to back up to the Time Machine external hard drive.". In general, Time Machine should be on a drive dedicated to it (that is, with nothing else on it).
Oops, right: I meant Time Capsule. Time Machine is backing up to the Time Capsule, but I thought I could also use the Time Capsule as an external hard drive as well as a target for Time Machine. So, this is a non-no?
. How many images show up when you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector and filter using the Filter Rule "File Status" with the argument "Referenced"?
1. Thanks for getting me to learn Aperture's "filtering" (Command-F). Cool.
2. No images. Aha. So, do this mean all the masters are in the iPhoto library?
But, using Finder:
iPhoto Library: 18.2 GB 8,014 items
Aperture Library.aplibrary: 20.6 GB 7,945 which would be right: I did some deleting after importing from iPhoto
Aperture Vault: 5.8 MB

Why are website icons now removed when history is cleared?

Hi,
Just a very quick question:
Why are website icons now removed when you clear the history in Safari?
I have noticed this in the current Lion (and Mountain Lion) versions, this happens, when in previous versions they remained after clearing the history.
Is there any way to change this?
Thanks!

Safari 6
Safari > Help (menu in the menubar) > Show All Help Topics
Search term "Clear History".
"Clearing your history also empties caches, removes website icons, and clears the list of recent searches. Website icons are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the address and search field, the bookmarks list, and other places. You can see your recent searches by clicking the magnifying glass at the left end of the address and search field when it’s empty".
That is how clearing history works in Safari 6.
There is no way change it.
Best.

Iphone 4s with upgrade to ios 6, why are the images I save "save photo" not in my camera roll?

I have an iphone 4s upgraded with ios 6. Why are the images I save "save photo" not in my camera roll? Where do they go?
Thx,
surfin steve

Hey, I just had this problem, I went into Settings -> Privacy-> Facebook (which is where I was saving photos from) -> turned it on, then back to settings -> Facebook-> and logged in. When I went back to Facebook and saved a photo and it saved to my camera roll. I haven't tried it with anything else yet though. Hope this helps!

Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7 240? When I print it before I drag it into the new file it prints out 6x6.

Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7 240 image size? If I print it before I drag it into the 24x7 240 file it prints 6x6.

What is the number 240 meant to indicate here – the resolution? If so please also give the unit.
And what are your printer and the print settings you use, could there be any scaling involved in the printing itself?

Why do I loose sharpness when I export out of Aperture?

My images look almost blurred once exported out of Aperture 3.0. ! I am finding in my reading that others have been having this problem for years! Has Apple not fixed this yet? I may have to go to Photoshop, but really don't want to!!!

That doesn't sound right at all. My exports looks fine. I wonder if it could be some kind of glitch or something...
Just out of curiosity, what do your export preferences look like? What quality setting do you have for jpegs, and what dpi for external editor file format? How about the dpi in your export presets you've been using? How about your RAW Fine Tuning sharpness sliders? (although that would affect how your images appear in Aperture, although it is subtle)
Aperture has limited (but effective) sharpening options, and by default rendering the images are softer than what you might be used to if you used to process your RAW images with ACR (Photoshop, Lightroom). But I was able to match the default ACR rendering (in terms of sharpness, I mean) with Aperture by maxing out the sharpness sliders in RAW Fine Tuning and applying a Sharpen Edges adjustment with only mildly aggressive sharpening.
Oh, that reminds me, which sharpness adjustment are you using? Sharpen is from the previous versions of Aperture, and is included for legacy/compatibility purposes with images that were processed in Aperture 1 & 2. Sharpen Edges is much more advanced and is generally recommended over the other.

Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width?

Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width? I am positive i has all the settings correct, to have an image parallax scroll from the edge of the page into the page and out again. But the images are flying in from the browser width - not the page width. This is not the effect I am after.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Given the key position is only linked to the height, I can't for the life of me work out how to ensure the images start moving from a certain position onthe left and right of the page.
Thanks

I think the effect you are seeing is a result of how the lineHeight is set up. By default, the lineHeight will be calculated as 120% of the size of the largest thing on the line -- in your case, this is the inline graphic. This is designed to leave space between the line before and the line with the graphic. So it is taking the height of the graphic, multiplying by 120%, and making this the distance between the previous line and the line with the graphic. So the bigger the graphic, the bigger the space above the graphic. Normally this works well with text, but in this case you may want to get closer to "set solid". You can do this by setting the lineHeight to 100%. Or you may wish to leave a couple of percent for the descenders of the previous line. Or, another alternative that may work well for you if you really know exactly where you want the line set, you could measure the graphic, add on the number of extra pixels to leave for the descenders, and make the lineHeight a constant. So you could do something like this:
<img lineHeight="104%" height="411"/>
or this:
<img lineHeight="423" height="411"/>
Obviously you would still need to specify the source and any other parameters you want on the image.
Note that if you are trying to fit a 200 pixel high graphic into a 200 pixel high container, you will hit the same problem -- in order to fit the graphic, the container will have to be slightly bigger than the graphic in order to fit the descenders on the last line. This is true even if the last line contains only the graphic, and no descenders (or text) at all.
Hope this helps,

I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.
