ACR converting raw into huge jpg files even at low quality

Hi Need help !!I am downloading raw files from canon 30d into bridge and processing RAW files in ACR.
When i have finished the edit I am clicking on save image and selecting jpg and then low quality. The RAw image is about 7mb and the converted low quality jpgs are also coming out to 7mb. These are far too big and is only a recent problem. I have re-installed photoshop but this has not fixed the problem.
By the way if I convert an image from raw that I haven't edited by the same process the file size is only 300kb
Would be very grateful if anyone has an answer to this

Thanks again Yammer
If I save as medium quality file size goes higher - over 13mb
Saving it as an uncompressed tiff sent the file size upto 1.5GB !!!!
The two installed versions were the 64bit version and the normal (32 bit ?)
I did uninstall and delete Adobe folders before reinstalling but as you say there may have been files left behind - will look into that
I paid £30 to adobe for there technical support - but getting nowhere at present as with their basic level support I think I need them to escalate to more qualified people.
I am wondering if the problem is with my pc due to the upscaling of file size when edits were done in Paint
Cheers

Last wish, preset converting RAW into JPG with more contrast, saturation & sharpening

A close family member is dying and she has still many RAW files, which of course look slightly lifeless as all RAW files do. She asked me to look for a simple Lightroom preset which will convert her RAWs into Jpgs with more contrast, saturation and sharpening. She has Lightroom 3, but has no experience in making presets and neither do I. She needs the preset to make the RAW files as Jpgs available to her partner & children. No fancy effects; just simple. She cannot work on her computer anymore. Can you help me with a concrete preset or if not can you make one for her?

How to batch-convert 500 pdf pages into individual jpg files?

Does anybody know how I can convert 500 single-page pdf files . . . into individual jpeg (image) files?
They are all in the same hard drive folder (if that helps . . .)
Thanks

Thank you so much . . . yes, the answer "staring me in the face".
Great advice.
After combining the pdf files into a SINGLE document . . . I just selected "SAVE-AS" . . . and selected "jpg" as the format.
Acrobat automatically created 500 individual jpg files.

Wrong embedded colour profile causes huge jpg files when published to .Mac

D'oh! i posted the following on the iDisk discussion my mistake. Here it is all again for iWebbites:
I've spent most of the day trying to optimise my new iWeb site on .Mac but the published jpg files are far too big.
Despite sizing to 800x600 px and jpegging at about 5 or 6 in Photoshop which resulted in a file size of about 100kb on my local disk, when uploaded to .Mac via iWeb the they have turned into 800 kb files.
Lots of trouble-shooting, including ensuring that they weren't converted to png, that they have no borders, reflections or drop-shadows yet they still got bloated on the upload. Especially the photos in the photo-gallery page.
I've isolated the problem but don't know what to do next:
Turns out, iWeb ignores the sRGB embedded colour profile and replaces it with the monitor profile of the originating computer.
I discovered this after I opened the file in Photoshop directly via iDisk in Finder. Converting or assigning the file to sRGB and saving it back down to iDisk immediately restored it to its intended file size of 100kb and this time with the correct sRGB colour profile.
Going now to the domain.sites on my local disk and opening the package shows all the photos doubled up. A 360 x 264 .jpeg file with the monitor profile embedded and bloated out to 800kb plus the original 800x600 image with sRGB and .jpg as the file type but still only 100kb
So what the heck is happening in iWeb to do this and to use the wrong file type associations with the wrong file when uploaded?
There is very little on the forum about colour (color) profiles and no mention of the bloat in file size, just a reference to colour and tone issues with the wrong profile so I'm wondering if its related to the 1.1.2 update. (I haven't really tried using iWeb until the last week or so).
Fixing the problem by post processing the photos on my site every time I publish would be impossible with the amount of photos I have and my intention of updating the web galleries regularly.
As you can find out if you go to a photo page on my site:
< <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://web.mac.com/adrian_malloch/iWeb/AdrianMallochPhotography/ Kabaddi.html > some pages take horrendously long to load. Check out some of the other Subculture pages. I haven't tested them all but Safari Activity viewer shows that most of the slow speed is related to opening jpeg files.
Any help and informed suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

This is doing my head in.
My last two comments "posted" half way through writing, before I had a chance to edit completely.
Here's how it should have read :
Using sRGB as a monitor profile, in itself, doesn't make a lot of sense.
A monitor profile is custom made specifically for the monitor to compensate for its display characteristics.
A "good enough" monitor profile is to use the software calibration built into the Displays preferences. Go to System Preferences/Displays/Color/Calibrate and follow the prompts. Hint: squint as you try to judge the colour and tone differences. The idea is to make the detail so fuzzy you don't notice it.
It's not very accurate, especially with LCD screens, but it's better than nothing and certainly better than using a universal colour space like sRGB, etc.
The accurate option is to get hold of a hardware calibrator like the Spyder, or Gretag-McBeth iOne Display (which I use). It costs a bit but is vital for accurate repeatable colour.
The whole point is that when the profile is made up and is set as the default profile, then you will get a WYSIWYG screen.
So, the same images will look the same on different monitors providing they each have accurate monitor profiles made specifically for them.
If you use sRGB as your monitor profile then you cannot expect the image to look the same on any one else's machine, whether they use sRGB, a monitor profile or any other profile. Worse still, if you change an image to "look right" on your screen, chances are that the image will look horrible on another screen.
Hence, why I will only switch to sRGB monitor profile as a workaround for uploading in iWeb. Nothing else!!

Convert pdf pages to jpg files

How can I export all pages of a pdf to jpg files? Acrobat sucks because it doesn't anti alias text. In Photoshop I have to first open all pages of a pdf file into seperate image files. Then I have to save as jpg each file one by one. I can't think of a batch action cause it wouldn't know how many pages the pdf is. Indesign fails also: I can make a book file of all the individual indesign files, but it only exports the book file as one pdf. There isnt a save book as jpg files option.
Photoshop is my best option, but is there a way to let it export all pages of a pdf file to separate jpg files?

I can't think of a batch action cause it wouldn't know how many pages the pdf is.
You touch on a relevant matter there; the page-count information can even vary depending on the way a pdf was created.
Still a Script should be able to handle that, if need be by utilizing a try-clause.
So you could ask in the Photoshop Scripting Forum if no one else has a better idea.

Convert Raw pictures to Jpg

I have many thousands of pictures on my HDD, i mainly always take pictures in my Nikon's Raw format. File size is nearly 10meg per picture and for the ones i wish to work on this is great, however some of the photos are just going to end up as snaps. Is there a way to quickly convert the Raw format to Jpg and keep most of the Metadata etc. I could save many Meg of space this way, however is it just going to be too much hassle. Any thoughts anybody !

File > Export > Export Preset > Then choose jpeg as the file format you wish to export your image as.
However a tip... In my experience 5 years down the line you may wish to re-edit your original RAW's, large capacity external hard drive's are cheap enough now, so I would export the original RAW's to a usb hard drive and keep them until you are sure you no longer require them.

RAW Conversion to JPG file size question

I'm fairly new to Lightroom and have noticed when I convert from RAW to JPG my approx. 8MB RAW files become approximately 2-3MB JPG files. I have the program set to convert to JPG at the highest possible quality. I've had clients ask about the file size and would like to be able to explain this to them in simple terms but I first need to understand why this is the case myself! When I used a different processing program the converted files were only slightly smaller than the originals. Please explain!
Thanks!

It depends on the quality settings you use. JPEG files have I think 12 quality settings, with 12 being pretty big, and 8-10 being reasonable compromises.
This is lossy compression, so data is thrown away. The quality setting determines how much info is thrown away.
Only thing you can really do is export at a few quality settings and compare them, to see if YOU can see the difference.
For me, I don't really care about minimizing file size so I always choose highest quality.

Adding EXIF standards back into a JPG file using Photoshop

Can anyone tell me how this is done?
I'm trying to get photos (JPG files) I've edited in Photoshop and placed on an SD card to display on a Panasonic plasma television (TC-P42X1). The televison will only recognize JPG files with DCF or EXIF standards in tact. I'm assuming photos taken with a digital camera (unedited) already build in these stanards, as those photos view just fine. I'm also assuming that Photoshop strips the JPG file of these standards since the error I'm getting is "Cannot Read" with edited images.
Of course Panasonic says, "It's an Adobe issue." Adobe would probably tell me "It's a Panasonic issue." Neither of those answers help solve my problem.
Here is what I've tried so far, with little to no luck. Using Photoshop, I've opened an image, gone to File/File Info (given the photo a description), selected "OK" and saved the image as a JPG file (did not use the "Save for Web" path). This has gotten me a step closer. Now I can see a thumbnail image on the television when in menu view, but it still says, "Cannon Read" when trying to view the images with the slide show option. Does anyone know the trick is using Photoshop to correct this issue? I'm open to other options as well.
Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help solve this problem!!!

Try this possible workaround:
1.— Take your original file (before any edits) and duplicate it.
2.— Work on the duplicate (exact clone) only. Do all your Photoshop edits to your heart's content. (Optional step: save the file, but don't close it so you don't compress the JPEG and deteriorate its quality.) Do a select all (Command+A on the Mac, Control+A on Windows) to select the entire pixel content of the duplicate, and COPY that. Now you have your edited image on your clipboard.
3.— Open the original file, and do a select all on it, but don't copy that! Instead, DELETE all the pixel content of the original. Now you have a blank image with only the metadata of the original.
4.— Paste the contents of your clipboard (the pixels of the edited clone) into the blank original. Save.
With any luck, you'll have the edited pixels with the metadata of the original.
It should work, but there are no guarantees.

How do I download a video and convert it into an flv file? In previous versions, all I had to do was pick the resolution and it was done automaticlly. I use DVDFLICK to burn my downloaded videos to DVD.

In previous versions of Firefox, I was able to easily download and convert videos into .flv files. I was then able to burn DVDs of theses downloaded videos using DVDFLICK. I'm now unable to do this using Firefox6.0.2?

Hello,
There is a process by which you can produce a BluRay encode on a red laser DVD. See link below
from Ken Stone site.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/burn_br_mac_superdrivestone.html
Also this can be done in Toast 10 with the BluRay plugin, somewhat easier.
Good Luck, Tom

Convert Java into a dll file

is it possible to make portions of java program into a dll file so that other program can consume it?

dll which stands for Dynamic Link Library, is specific to windows and dos I believe, and so attempting to make a change like the one you request will break the ability of a program to work on mult OSs. There are several exe conversion utilities out there, but I haven't seen a dll conversion one, but then again, I haven't been looking.
Perhaps the best answer is not to directly answer your specific question, but try to answer your problem. I assume that you want Java talking to a C or C++ program or other similar program that can compile to dll form. If so, have you considered looking into using the JNI library? This is one of several solutions that will allow you to do just this. Again, using it usually breaks your program's ability to be interoperable on multiple OSs.
Good luck.

How to convert RAW into jpgs?

I used to use Capture One by Phase One to process my RAW images into jpgs, when I had WinXP on my pc. With my new computer, it has the new 64 bit, with Win Vista. Now, using Capture One is a total joke. You can't possibly get anything done.
How can I use Photoshop CS4 to process RAW images into jpgs? I don't see a way that I can apply changes on one image, to others in a particular group. With Capture One when it was good on WinXP, I could make changes to one, lighten/brighten, sharpen, change the color temp, etc., apply it to all the desired images, then click to output a certain size, say 5x7 at 200 ppi, hit the button, and it would do it. I don't see that I can do any of that in Photoshop, short of using the ever-annoying set and action, then automate.
Also, for professional work, where I'm processing hundreds of images at a time, is there other software I should look at, like Lightroom, Gimp, etc.?

Use Bridge and Camera Raw: Navigate Bridge to the folder with your raw files. In Bridge, select/highlight the images you wish to process and save, then Open in Camera Raw (File > Open in Camera Raw, or Ctrl-R, or right click and Open in Camera Raw from context menu). Your selected raw images will open in camera raw in Filmstrip view. Make any desired camera raw adjustments then, still in camera raw, do Select All then at bottom Save Images... which will bring up a save options box in which you can choose jpegs or tff, where to save, and other options.

There are several ways to make changes to one image in camera raw then apply the changes to other raw image files. In camera raw filmstrip mode, select the images you want to apply an adjustment to then apply the adjustment to the first of those images and it will be applied to all the others that are selected. Or apply adjustments to the first image of a series then add additional selections and use camera raw's Synchronize. Or, make adjustments to first image in series then click done, which will return you to Bridge. In Bridge, select the image you want to copy camera raw adjustments from then Develop Settings > Copy Settings. Select all the target images that you want to receive these settings then Develop Settings > Copy Settings. Both Copy settings and ACR's Synchronize will bring up a selection box where you can check which settings you want to copy.
You can select save ppi in camera raw. You can use Camera Raw's crop function can get files to a desired aspect ratio if they are not already there. Crop can be copied to other files via Synchronize or Develop settings - Copy if that is useful. Getting a specific size in pixel dimensions may take another step. Camera Raw offers a limited set of file sizes (in its Workflow Options). If you want other than these, then one methodis to save images from Bridge using Photoshop's image processor. After making camera raw adjustments and returning to Bridge, select desired raw images then Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor... Set size and output options in the image processor.

How do I convert 10,000 assorted jpg files to pdf for ocr?

Hi all, my first post here.
Over the years, I've scanned many thousands of documents using various settings and scanners. Now I want to OCR them. I don't have any document imaging system (should I?), I just keep them in folders. I did Acrobat Action to insert a bunch of files and save them as PDFs. This worked, but created a number of problems:
1) it's sloooow
2) I have not checked yet, but I was told it results in image loss? That's the most important part I guess. Any way to wrap my jpg into pdf as is? I was told it can be done programmatically!
3) somewhere in the middle of conversion, Acrobat froze, and now I have thousands of files that have been converted, and thousands more than have not.
I am actually a programmer, but I am under a time crunch and want to do this fast, so while tips and tricks for learning to program Adobe would be very interesting, I just want to get it done at the simplest level possible, for now. I don't care if the process is very slow, as long as it's automated. The one exception is, if there are any command line arguments that could help me, I'd definitely be game (I have cygwin). Or if I get precise instructions.
While I am at it, are there any 3rd party products that do what I want?
Edit: I was told I want to look at DCTDecode filter, but I am very new to Adobe (in fact, this is my second day); how do I do that?

Acrobat isn't designed to process that many files at once, it's designed to be very accurate, so yes it will be slow. OCR is a processor-intensive task even when it's not being done very well.
You may not have a choice other than splitting the files into batches and waiting for Acrobat to finish - normally that many files would be processed with specialist bulk OCR software (which is often bundled with high-volume scanner hardware). As standalone software it tends to be expensive or complex to set up, for example some programs run on a network of Linux servers to distribute the load. If you want accuracy there's no escaping the amount of processing required.
