Camera raw reducing image size

All of a sudden Camera Raw is automatically reducing my image sizes. I cannot figure out why. The images were shot with a Nikon 5100 if that has any value.
The original jpg size is 15MB (jpg) and have a NEF extension.
I've tried opening the image in Photoshop and then going through Bridge to Camera Raw, and opening the image through Bridge to Photoshop and the image gets reduced from 16 inches to 5 inches keeping 300 dpi.
Thanks in advance.!

The only important “image size” is pixel dimensions.
JPGs have a JPG extension. An NEF extension means it’s a raw file.
Things that affect DPI/PPI and pixel dimensions are in the workflow options link at the bottom of the main ACR window, and only if you output the images to some other format in ACR.

Camera Raw reduces DNG file size

I have raw file(CR2) size at 13.6 mb straight out of my Canon 7D. When I convert them in Adobe dng converter 5.7 I get 21.7 mb. When opening in Photoshop CS3 with Camera Raw 4.4.1 I get image size as W:3888 pixels by H:2592 pixels. I dont understand at which point the file size reduction takes place, as its supposed to be larger than that providing it was 13.6mb original file size. ( There is no compression option in camera raw or dng converter).

There is a hyperlink at the bottom of the Camera Raw interface that allows you to change some of the settings. One of the changes is to make the image smaller, the image that is sent to Photoshop. Is it possible that you have a setting chosen that reduces the size? Additionally, DNG files are usually a little smaller. Are you embedding the raw file in your DNG file? The DNG converter does not change the size of the image. It simply takes the raw image data and puts it in a new container DNG file.

Why Camera Raw Needs Larger Size Choices

The upsampling provided in Camera Raw as part of the conversion process is excellent. I know of no better way to extract the maximum possible detail from a raw image than to convert to an upsampled resolution.
Trouble is, the biggest value one can select from the list is 6144 x 4096 pixels.
Some cameras, e.g., the Nikon D800, already deliver images with more pixels that this, so there are no upsampled resolutions to choose from in the Workflow Options dialog. There need to be!
There is a way to "trick" Camera Raw into providing a larger image - one can set a custom crop, then drag the crop tool around the entire image, then finish the conversion.
Just to illustrate the utility in doing this, I used the "trick" to get a 9000 x 6000 pixel conversion from a Nikon D800 image, which can be found here:
http://movies.dpreview.com.s3.amazonaws.com/nikon_d800/DSC_0241.NEF.zip
Once I opened this image at 54 megapixels (up from the camera's native 36.2 MP) I sharpened it. You can see how well that came out here (11 megabyte JPEG file):

I've made this request before, and it was ignored. Here's hoping the Camera Raw team will reconsider offering some upsampled sizes based on the native size (e.g., 125%, 150%, etc.). No matter how many megapixels you've got, more is better.

You're advocating design by public popularity contest over technical leadership? Really? LOL, I mean no disrespect but that sounds like something out of Dilbert's world.
Someone on the Camera Raw design staff has ALREADY made the case for providing both up- and down-sampling options for all the cameras available at the time, or those options would not have been implemented in the first place! That they were implemented as fixed values rather than a formula based on the native resolution may have been because of constraints that are no longer there now (based on our current ability to arbitrarily choose sizes via the Crop trick).

Ah, so now it becomes clear we're discussing something that goes against long-standing beliefs you have been running on.
1. No one is trying to force you to abandon anything you like to do and which nets you good results already.
2. No one is proposing anything radical here, but do always try to keep an open mind, because there might still be people in the world who are just as smart as those who have sold you books in the past.

How to reduce image size on account of disk space shortage?

I import images from my camera to iPhoto on my MacBook. I want to reduce their size on import because hard disk space on MacBook is limited.
Is there any smart way how to perform it? I have not found any presets on Import dialog to reduce size.

If the photos are important then get an external FW hard drive and move the library to it and operate from there. Delete the library from your MacBook.
Next create a new library on the MB and copy only the photos that you have an immediate need for from the external library with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. It will copy the metadata, keywords, faces, places, and edited versions between libraries. You will a lean, mean travelin' library for the MB.
You you add photos to the library on the MB while you're on the road you can copy them to the main library in the same manner with iPLM when you get back home.

How to Reduce Image Size and show upload Progress Bar

i need to capture an image from the camera and send it to the server. however to reduce the amount of data transmitted i want to shrink the image and lower its resolution.
I have code that currently does the following :
UIImage *testImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.png"]; // this would come from image picker
NSData * imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(testImage);
// skipped code that showed URL string setup
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [imageData length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPBody:imageData];
NSURLConnection *conn=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
1. need some way to shrink the image size to reduce data traffic
2. need some way to indicate a progress bar as data is being transfered to the server

1. The size is visible in the metadata panel, set the dropdown to EXIF. In addition, in the Grid, with Ctrl-J, you can set the options so that you will see the cropped size in the rectangle surrounding the photo.
2. You cannot, in one action, upload to multiple galleries. Each upload is its own action. I don't know if there is a plug-in to let you upload from LR to 500px in one action; clearly there are plug-ins for Flickr and Smugmug and several others. There should be no need to re-import. Normally, the plug-ins I mentioned will take a TIFF, resize it according to your directions, convert to JPG and upload.

Photoshop camera raw opening images in jumbled order

Hello,
Im opening CR2 files into photoshop and this opens camera raw as planned. When I open a batch load of images, it opens them in a jumbled selection instead of in name order. I've named them "image 1, image 2, etc, etc".
can somebody please help?

Reduce image size and print it out?

I scanned an image (coloring on a postcard). This size is too big to fit into a 'album' picture in MS Picture It! All I want to do is REDUCE the image and save it so that it will fit into the computer photo album I'm creating.
I've tried Image/Resize/Image Size and changed the sizing, but it still comes out the exact same size as the original. What am I doing wrong?

> I want to REDUCE the image, not enlarge it.
I understood that - what makes you think I didn't?
> It's 948x645 pixels. I just want the image about an inch (respectively) smaller
You can't think in terms of inches for screen images. You have to work in pixels and the actual size will depend upon the screen resolution on the machine being used to view the image.
I'd reduce the pixel size by about 80 to get the effect that you want. Use Image/Resize/Image Size and make sure that you have "Resample" checked.

Camera Raw installing images

I have just started shooting in Camera raw, problem I have is that when I save the files, it says there are no images to save,only way that i can save my images is to open Photoshop, go to file, open search for the card reader and open it to show the images.
Is there a way of me putting my card into the card reader and saving the images or do I not have the software to do that.

You might start with telling on what system you are and which version of Photoshop you have.
Depending on you RAW files (what camera are you using) you need the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) plug in for converting RAW files.
PSCS3 uses the latest ACR 4.3.1 PSCS2 is using 3.7 as latest. If your camera is not supported you can always convert to DNG.
It as always the best way to use a card reader for copying the RAW files to your computer. Using Photo Downloader or manually drag and drop to get the files on the computer.
There is a lot to learn about RAW, a very good book is Real World Camera RAW by Jeff Schewe and Bruce Fraser.

Camera Raw problem; images appearing soft and without definition on import

Can anyone help? I am having problems with ACR version 4.6 ( I cannot upgrade ACR without upgrading to CS5). When I open a RAW image in ACR, the image appears soft, and with poor definition. As a result, they have failed quality control for upload to the Alamy picture library, despite having been shot with a Nikon D3. I am simply opening them with ACR defualts, then opening to photoshop.
The files open fine in Lightroom and Nikon Capture NX, however I prefer to use ACR for my workflow. Any suggestions? I don't what to shekll out for CS% if the problem is still there.
Thanks, Robin

Have you tried resetting defaults? It sounds like either your Camera Raw default settings have been changed, or sharpening has been set to Previews only.
1. Open an image in Camera Raw, select the Details tab, and check that setting are like defaults: Amount 25, Radius 1.0, Details 25, Masking 0. You can always reset defaults from the little menu icon on the right of the panel title.
2. Check Camera Raw preferences, looking for the item: 'Apply Sharpening to:' and make sure it says 'All images'.
You might want to check other preferences too, especially the 'make defaults specific' settings, which, when used, create multiple default settings depending on camera and ISO.

Camera Raw/Mac image update problem

I am a new Mac user. When I adjust an image in Camera Raw (I have Photoshop CS4 and most up to date Camera Raw) and click the Done button my image is updated in Photoshop, Bridge and Camera Raw, however if I go into Finder on my Mac the preview is not updated and if I open the file in, say, Picasa, the original file is opened. If I click the file and open it in Bridge, the edited file opens. How do I get it so the preview is updated and the edited file is opened in programs other than Photoshop?

Editing in ACR is non-destructive (the original image data is not modified) and the edits are carried in either a sidecar file or database, depending upon your settings. Only ACR/Bridge/Photoshop (and Lightroom) will "see" the edits, therefore the original non-edited image will show when opening in another program.
One can save directly out of ACR in a variety of formats, which will them incorporate the edits and make them visible to other programs.

How to reduce image size on photoshop without losing quality

i have a logo that needs to be shrunk. but as soon as i shrink it the image looks pixelated. if i leave it as-is, the website says the size is too big. please advise.
Dale Mundi

When you reduce its size, you are removing pixels which is one of the reasons it can look pixelated. You could add a slight blur, but that may make it look worse.

IOS 7 Apple camera app - image size vs other camera app's image size

Is there a way to change the image size on the IOS 7 Apple camera app. On the iPhone 5s the image is 2448x3264, correct, and the image size was 1.96Mb. The Camera+ is 3.63Mb and CameraAwesome was 1.57Mb. I can adjust the image size with Camera+ and did so. If the Apple Camera app is not adjustable then it looks like there is significant reduction in the resolution of images, at least compared to C+.

Reduce image size

Hello,
I have a question about reducing the size of an image.
What i want is to load an image.. resize it and then save it
into a blob(sqlite air db)
In php you say imagecopyresampled and you can save a smaller
image.
How to do this in flex?
What i have is an function witch resizes the given image, but
i doubt the image is really reduced in size..(from 900 to 100k)
code:
package
import flash.display.Bitmap;
public class imageresize extends Bitmap
//globals
private var bmp:Bitmap;
private var true_width:Number;
private var true_height:Number;
private var maxx:Number;
private var maxy:Number;
private var resize:Boolean;
public function
resizeImage(b:Bitmap,h:Number,w:Number):Bitmap
this.bmp=b;
this.maxx=w;
this.maxy=h;
this.true_width = bmp.width;
this.true_height = bmp.height;
//this.true_width2 = imagesx($image);
//this.true_height2 = imagesy($image);
this.resize=false;
if (true_width>maxx) resize=true;
if (true_height>maxy) resize=true;
if (resize==true)
var width:Number=maxx;
var height:Number = (width / true_width) * true_height;
true_width=width;
true_height=height;
if (true_height>maxy)
height=maxy;
width = (height/true_height)*true_width;
else
width=true_width;
height=true_height;
else
width=true_width;
height=true_height;
width=Math.ceil(width);
height=Math.ceil(height);
// this is used extra in php to get a smaller image
//$dest_img = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
//imagecopyresampled(
// $dest_img, $image,
// 0, 0, 0, 0,
// $width, $height, $true_width2, $true_height2); // resize
the image
//return $dest_img;
bmp.height=height;
bmp.width=width;
return bmp;
please some help here,sorry for the way i put the code here..
i couldn't find the attach code button..
or did i have to use [attach code]? maybe handy to change the
string attach code into a link..
Greets, jacob

perhaps another nice thing is to encode it to base64 so it
can be saved into the sqlite database.
I found my one solution by encoding it to a base64 string and
store it into the db.
Here a link to the topic with the solution.
