Changed pixel size when exporting - won't go back default

I was exporting several photos one at a time and changes one the the dimensions. Now LR5 is applying that same pixel dimension to all exports. Does anyone know how to get LR to go back to defaulting (I guess) to each photos specific dimensions?

LR doesn’t have a magic hidden default that you somehow switched away from and now can’t change back to. LR has various resizing options and you should be able to pick the same one you were using before.
By “different sizes” do you mean “different aspect ratios” – some more square some more rectangular, or do you mean different pixel dimensions—some 4000 pixels wide and some 800 pixels wide?
From what you say LR is telling you, if you are trying to keep your photos within a particular file-size yet they are too large of pixel dimensions and you don’t want to change the pixel dimensions, then it won’t work, which sounds like what your issue is. When you tell LR to keep things within a particular filesize it reduces the quality down until it finds a filesize that is just less than the filesize limit you’ve indicated, or it has used the lowest quality setting and the file is still too big, which sounds like your situation.

How to maintain pixel size when exporting?

When exporting an edited image (ex: 20 MB) from Aperture to a desktop folder, I choose file>export>versions>jpeg original. When I open the exported image in the desktop folder (it opens in preview), the Tools/Inspector window says that the image is now only 2MB. This has not always happened. Can someone tell me what I might be doing or not doing that is causing this, or what settings I need to change?
Thank you.

golindy,
JPEG is a lossy format that relies on two ways of reducing the file size. The first is the lossy part that throws away data that is percieved to be unimportant for human vision, the resulting data is then further compressed losslessly using the same type of compression zip uses (this is why zipping a JPEG doesn't lead to further size reduction).
The more you throw away in the first part, the more likely the image is to suffer from 'compression artefacts'. The number you select on export determines how much data gets thrown away.
I don't know what '12' officially means for Apple, but from eyeballing files, it seems like it throws away pretty close to zero. So a file output with 12 is top quality.
Aperture has always worked the same way here, it hasn't changed during any update.
However, some things that may affect it are:
1) The effeciciency of the both compression algorithms seems to improve over time.
So a year ago, a 20 Mega Pixel image might compress down to a 5MB file using a quality setting of 10. Today that very same file may compress down to a 4MB file at quality 10. But it's important to note, the quality of the file will be the same, quality 10. All that has happened is the more efficient algorithm has allowed an extra 1MB of file space saving.
2) The raw converters periodically get improved with new rendering. One area that has continually improved in Apeture is noise supression and more natural sharpening.
These impact the first part of the compression process. A noisy image with harsh shapening will compress less than a clean image with more subtle sharpening. So better raw processing can also impact the exported size. Note, this one works in both directions, an improved conversion that resolves more details will output a larger file size, whereas an improved conversion that gives less noise will output a smaller file size.
So in your case, I think what was happening was you were not losing quality, just gaining file size efficiency, and now you have changed to quality 12, you are exploiting that file space saving by now outputting higher quality files.

Aperture Reduces Image pixels & size when exporting or importing. Why?

For some reason I can no longer find my original "master images" which I imported via a link from my PC.
I scanned the negatives at a high enough resolution/output size for an 11"x14" PRINT.
However, now I have a different version of that scanned image at 1708 x960 pixels.
Why does this happen to all of my exported images, even when I drag & drop these images to the desk top?
Many thanks,
Stressed-out aperture user.

I'm not sure if I understand your post exactly.
What size in pixels were the original scans? - 11" x 14" doesn't tell us much as we don't know how many PPI.
Assuming you are using Aperture to manage your masters (importing them into the Aperture Library) then you should be able to export them at whatever size you want.
Perhaps you were using referenced masters and have lost the external master files? - If so, then I think Aperture will only have "previews" available at whatever resolution you have chosen as the default.

In Lightroom 4, is it possible to change the resolution when exporting to Facebook?

Is it possible to change the resolution when exporting a photo to Facebook using either the regular plugin or Jeffrey Friedl's plugin? I can't seem to do it; I only have control over the image dimensions, not the resolution and the dimensions, as you can see in the screen shots below:
I have control over both when I export to my hard drive (or a flash drive, etc.), as you can see below:
I can't find the option to control the resolution when I try to export to Facebook. Before I got Lightroom 4, I would create whole new low-resolution files of images I wanted to post online using Photoshop. The image size settings I would use are a longest edge of 10 inches at 72ppi, and I would like to continue doing this. If I can only set the longest side to 720 pixels (I can't even seem to set the longest edge to an inches value - I can only choose a pixels value) and not change the resolution from 300ppi to 72ppi, then my photos' longest edge will only be less than 3 inches long (right?). Thus, I really want to be able to upload low-resolution photos to Facebook via Lightroom with the ability to change both the resolution and the image dimensions. Any idea how to do it without having to export to my hard drive first? Thanks!

I'd be inclined to set it to zero so it obviously doesn't mean anything
You can set it to whatever you like, and it makes no difference. Most of the time (depending on how you saved it), it will still open as "72".
When you save an image for web, the resolution is usually stripped from the file. It's simply not there anymore. That's probably what happens in the Lr facebook module, and that's why there's no entry for it.
But when you open that image somewhere else, that default of 72 ppi is assigned. Most apps need to know what to do with a file if asked to print it out. So there is a default, and that's usually 72, mostly by convention. With that default ppi, it prints out at a comparable size to what you see on screen at 1:1 display.
And when people see that, they think "hey, web images are 72 ppi". But they're not - that figure is just inserted there by the opening application.

How do I change pixel size?

Technically, you can't change the size of an image screen pixel. You can use resampling to change the number of pixels representing a current screen pixel (upsample means more pixels are used to represent a pixel, downsample means fewer).
You can change the size of an image pixel when it's printed by modifying the DPI (dots per inch). The bigger a pixel is, the fewer will fit in an inch, and vice versa.

Change paper size when printing

How to change paper size when printing pdf? No option for paper size appear.

That is a feature of AirPrint. If you do a Google search on "AirPrint paper size" you'll find documentation from major printer manufacturers. For example, this is copied from some HP documentation:
What paper and media sizes are supported?
With AirPrint, paper and photo media sizes are automatically selected depending on the application you are using on your Apple device, your HP ePrint printer, and the region in which you are using AirPrint. You do not have the option to select different paper sizes.
For example, from Apple’s Photo application, if the HP ePrint printer has a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses 4 x 6 inch photo media as the default paper size. If the printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses letter-size paper. If you are printing from Apple’s Safaribrowser, letter-size paper is the default paper size in the US region, and A4 is the default paper size in Europe.
AirPrint supports the following paper and media sizes:
Letter
Legal
A4
4 x 6 in photo paper
A6 photo paper

Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration. Why?

Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration. Why?
I have a file created by digitizing an 8mm film at a rate of 24 fps. I would like to create a downloaded movie at a frame rate of 15 fps. The Export using Quicktime option seems to provide that capability but the resulting file has the same duration as the original 24 fps file. How can I get the exported movie to be slowed down?

joegez,
There is a feature you can use to slow down the video. In the project, move the mouse pointer over the clip, then click the gear icon. That brings up the Inspector. Click the Clip tab. Then you will see a feature there called Speed. Move the slider to the left to slow down the clip. Or you can enter a percentage in the box on the right.
Hope this solves the problem for you.

Reduce Doc Size When Exporting

Is there a way to reduce a page size when exporting from InDesign? I have a 20 x 30 poster want to export at 50% and make the pdf @ 10 x 15. Thanks.

by print to pdf do U mean make a ps file instead of exporting, correct?
Well, here's the thing... the orig question was a generalization of what we are trying to do.
The actual file is 19 pgs of panels that are 20 x 30. We need to make pdfs for the client to look at on screen. The file is huge when we try to make pdfs by exporting... even at the smallest file size and then reduce file in Acrobat. We found that reducing the doc size & making pdf yields a much smaller and more manageable file size, but it takes very long to postscript. We were just trying to avoid that step. Thought for sure the was a way to reduce the output size when exporting.

Pages changes the page size when exporting to pdf

When exporting a pages document (size 8.5w x 7.0h) to pdf it changes the size to (8.5w x 11.0h) any suggestions on exporting it correctly.
If not is there a way to resize it once it is a pdf or other software to convert it correctly?
I am using Pages 09 with Lion 10.7.1

Hi Christine
I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
Can you please let me know the version of CR you are using?
You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

How do I change the pixel size when converting Word doc to .pdf?

When converting a Word Document to .pdf the file size is too large. How do I reduce the pixel size?

Typically a Word file's content is text which has not image association.
For whatever images might be in the Word file you'd want to adjust image resolution in an image editor prior to bringing the image into the Word file from which the PDF is made.
Be well...

Wrong aspect ratio or size when exporting Pal anamorph with ProRes codec!

Hi community,
I have a problem exporting a spot in the right format. The customer/the upload service provider needs PAL anamorph 16:9 in ProRes codec.
When I export my FULLHD spot to these setting, the aspect ratio/the spot size turns out wrong. When opened in QT Pro the size is 720x576, what is correct, but the anamorph size quotet in brackets reads different values, for example 1020x576 but never 1024x576, what would be correct.
The service providers online software refuses to work with these wrong nunmbers...!?
The same export settings with QT Animation codec is correct. Also when exporting the same composition with two export modules, the Animation codec is OK, the ProRes codec is wrong. No matter whether I export a PAL-format comp or stretch it while exporting the FullHD comp.
Working with After Effects CC.
Any ideas?

Don't resize the output but instead drop your full HD comp in a standard PAL widescreen comp, fit the HD comp horizontally and then render the new comp without using any resize controls.
Second option, Render your full HD comp to a frame based production master codec (prorez) and then use the Adobe Media Encoder and setup a PAL Widescreen Square Pixel preset. Here's my Pal Widescreen Prorez 422 HQ preset. It is what I use for all requests for Pal ProRez from my clients.

Changing pixel size of photo

How do I change the size for emailing? A site that needs a photo requires it be 320 x 120 pixels, and the photo I hav is 1980 x 2944 pixels. Can I change it in IPhoto?

Eileen,
From the iPhoto menu bar go Share>Export>>File export. There you will see the option "Scale image no larger than..."
Make any other changes/choices that you want in that window (file name, image format, etc.)
Click export. Save the exported image to anywhere you want
b except
the iPhoto Library Folder. The desktop is a good place to save it to.
After you email it and don't need it anymore you can delete it because it is only a copy.
Hope this helps

Wrong size when exporting to jpg

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Illustrator, would really appreciate all the help and tips
I'm trying to create a wallpaper of certains size. I'm creating an artboard with dimentions 1024px by 768 px, all is fine. However, then I export my artwork into jpeg using File -> Export option. I'm getting a file which is 4267px by 3200px. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and it's very frustrating! Would really appreciate any help.
I'm exporting with the following settings:
Quality: 10
Color Model: CMYK
Method: Baseline (Standard)
Resolution Depth: High
Options: Anti-Alias and Embed ICC Profile are ticked.

Another question along the lines. Is it better to create a file with the 72 PPI from the beginning or to change it when exporting to jpeg?
Illustrator files have no resolution, as measured in PPI, until the art is rasterized. This means that the only time you can make the art 72 ppi is when you export to JPG. The exceptions would be anything that is rasterized (Object > Rasterize) or any raster effect such as Drop Shadow, any Glow effects, or anything below the fold in the Effect menu. Effects are rasterized according to Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings.
I often find Photoshop does a better job rasterizing than Illustrator. You can open the AI file in Photoshop and rasterize at any resolution, then resample to 72 ppi. I suggest using 288 ppi, which is exactly four time 72 ppi, then either resample or use Save for Web and Devices and scale to 25%.

Converting HD footage....need to change pixel size??? I need help!

I have someone who shot an event for me and has edited it. He edits on a PC using Vegas. He shot the event in HD. (I haven't gone HD yet and really know nothing about it.)
The problem is getting his HD footage created in Vegas into my FCP. He sent me a test .m2t clip. Neither QT nor FCP would recognize it. I downloaded Streamclip to convert it, but although Streamclip recognized it, it would not open it. It said "Unsupported Format."
So now he has figured out how to export the footage as QT, but again he sent a test clip and it is letterboxed. He said I need to change the pixel size to 1.2121.
How in the world do I change the pixel size?????? I'm open to all suggestions here. Thanks....Nancy
FCP 5.1.4
QT 7.1.5

Squished 4:3 = anamorphic. If you set your sequence to anamorphic (checkbox in Sequence Settings), it should display your clips properly and not insist on rendering. As others have noted, the rest of the sequence settings need to match you clip properties to avoid rendering or RT. You can check those properties with a control-click on the clip in the browser. There is an item there for checking the clip's technical properties. Make your sequence settings match those clip properties.
