Compress DNG when exporting possible?

Hello,
I'm currently using Lightroom 1.x and when exporting RAW files to DNG, I have the possibillity to choose Compressed (lossless).
I just downloaded the trail of Lighroom 2.x and I cannot find this Compressed option any more. Is it gone, or am I missing something?
Thanks very much for your help!

It's gone. They are now all produced as compressed, since there's no point in not doing that unless you have stock in a disk drive company.

  • The sequence number when exporting should represent stacks

    When exporting images, I would like the sequence number to apply to the first image in a stack, but the rest of the images in the stack should have the same number as the first one but with an extra suffix. Something like this:
    stack 1:
    DSCN0010.DNG
    DSCN0011.DNG
    DSCN0012.DNG
    stack 2:
    DSCN0013.DNG
    DSCN0014.DNG
    When exported, I would like them to be:
    DSCN0010.DNG --> "image-01.jpg"
    DSCN0011.DNG --> "image-01b.jpg"
    DSCN0012.DNG --> "image-01c.jpg"
    DSCN0013.DNG --> "image-02.jpg"
    DSCN0014.DNG --> "image-02b.jpg"

    Hi,
    The numbers in a CREATE SEQUENCE statement are all literals; no other kinds of numeric expressions are allowed.
    You need dynamic SQL to do anything like what you want. For example:
    COLUMN     seq_start_col     NEW_VALUE  seq_start
    SELECT     1 + MAX (val)     AS seq_start_col
    FROM     table_x;
    CCREATE SEQUENCE TEST_SEQ.NEXTVAL
    START WITH  &seq_start
    MAXVALUE 9999999999999999999999999999
    MINVALUE 1
    NOCYCLE
    CACHE 20
    NOORDER;

  • Is it possible to retain multiple audio tracks when exporting?

    While ripping my DVD collection, I've wanted to add a purchased RiffTrax (see www.riftrax.com) to the movie as another audio track. I've been successful, but it took the following steps:
    1. Encode the movie using Handbrake, open the resulting m4v file in Quicktime Pro
    2. Also in Quicktime Pro, open the Rifftrax aac file I created and add it as another audio track in the m4v
    3. Save the m4v as a Quicktime mov file
    4. Use Handbrake again to encode the mov file into an m4v file, including my added audio track
    The reason I have to do step 4 is because if I were to export an m4v file directly from Quicktime Pro, it would compress all of the audio tracks into a single audio track. It would save a lot of time if Quicktime could export multiple audio tracks, at least when exporting to formats that can handle them. Does anyone know if this is possible?
    BTW, if anyone wants more details into how I create the RiffTrax aac, just ask.
    - Jake

    I've answered my own question, it was a lot easier than I thought. After the first encoding by Handbrake, there's really no difference between calling it a mov file or m4v file. I can change the file extension at will and there's no need to do an export that mashes the audio tracks. It's only AppleTV that needs to see the m4v file extension, Quicktime and iTunes doesn't seem to care one way or the other.
    Thanks for letting me think out loud.

  • When exporting versions (from DNG-to JPEG org size) they get very smal?

    when exporting versions in aperture (from DNG-to JPEG org size) they get very smal? Why cant they stay the same size and kvalety as the DNG?

    How are you exporting? If you are dragging the image out of Aperture you get the preview, you are not exporting the version.
    If you are exporting then the most likely reason for what you see is the setting on the Quality slider. Remember JPG images are  compressed and you will always see a difference between the original and the exported JPG.

  • 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.

    When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

    There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
    Does it play in your Mac?
    What brand of disks are you using?

  • Is it possible to get transparent background when exporting to PDF?

    When exporting a document to PDF, Pages turns the background white instead of keeping it transparent. I need it to be transparent. Can anyone tell me what to do to fix this?
    When I print a document I use stationary that is in my printer. When I want to send the document by email I need to combine my text with my stationary (on the same page). In CS4 InDesign this is really easy with switching layers on/off, but I don't want to use InDesign for my wordprocessing, but Pages. In Pages I can add a background, but I can't switch it on/off. So now I use AcrobatPro 9 to combine my text document with my stationary, adding it as a watermark or background. This does not work with documents I made in Pages since Pages makes the background of a document WHITE when it exports to pdf. Instead it needs to be TRANSPARENT.
    By the way: MS-Word gets it right: it keeps the background transparent when making a pdf. But I don't want to go back to Word, I just want Pages to do it right...
    Any suggestions how I can make this work? Thanks!

    Hi marchaarman
    Pages has an odd behavior, it actually puts 2 white backgrounds in the back of its documents.
    This confounds Acrobat which inserts watermarks in front of the 1st background but sandwiched under the 2nd.
    MsWord does not actually make a transparent background it just makes the 1 white background, or whatever the paper color may be.
    If you want your watermark, you will need to add it in Pages, possibly as a master object in a section template that you can eliminate or add as you want.

  • Controlling level of JPEG compression when exporting from iPhoto 6?

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering whether one can adjust the level of JPEG compression when exporting images?
    I'm still on iPhoto 4 that unfortunately doesn't offer this option and by default produces fairly large images that aren't well suited for web presentations.
    I'd be happy to upgrade to iPhoto 6 for that feature alone.
    Cheers Martin

    HI Martin,
    There is no compression option in the File>export window. You can however input size dimensions so a 2592x1944 can be exported to any 4x3 value such as 800x600

  • Is it possible to choose which template to use when exporting to word?

    Hi, just wanted to know is it possible to have more than one word template and be able to choose from these templates when exporting a document to word. Another question, can we choose the print layout at the point of clicking print, instead of selecting a default one in the PLD beforehand? Thanks.
    (Using SAP Business One 2005B PL41)
    Edited by: Tan Gavin on Oct 8, 2008 10:14 AM

    Hi Tan Gavin
    The answer to both questions is unfortunately NO. The templates are linked to specific events or triggers in the system and cannot be changed or determined by any user. With the PLD the limitation is that if you want different layouts, the only way is to change default the whole time. But bear in mind that the default could be set by user, BP or both. This does allow the system to use a different layout for each user or specific BP's.
    Kind regards

  • Possible Bug in ID5.5 When Exporting Images to ePub

    Just wanted to relate my experience with exporting images to ePub in InDesign CS5.5. I've already spent the better part of two weeks trying to find a resolution for the problem with Adobe's customer service techs in India. Nice guys, but so far not of much help.
    Here's the problem. when exporting ID documents to ePub, and you're selecting your options in the "Image" export dialog box, you are offered two choices: "Fixed" and "Relative to Page." In theory, "Relative to Page" is the best choice because this means your images will be automatically scaled for the different viewing devices (i.e. iPad, Kindle, mobile phone, laptop). If you select "Relative to Page," however, your images will export with pixilation.
    This may not happen to everyone, but it happened to me, as well as the last tech I spoke in India. I'm using a MacBook Pro running 10.6.7. Don't know what he was using, but he got the same results on his end when exporting an image to ePub using "Relative to Page." For me, the fonts look especially horrible in Adobe Editions. If you select "Fixed," they'll export just fine, (looked great in Adobe Editions and Kindle Previewer), but don't know how fixed size renders in the different devices.
    This particular exchange was last Friday. The tech verified that we had a problem he couldn't solve and told me he had to speak with his "senior," who had already gone home for the weekend. I received an email today informing me that all I had to do was select the high quality performance settings in ID, and the image would look "pretty" while the file was open in the program. Really? I mean, duh. What does that have to do with the EXPORT problem?
    And yes, I know to select the maximum quality setting in export. I'm a photographer who has used Photoshop since the 1990s. Used InDesign, QuarkXpress, and Pagemaker, in reverse order for that long as well, so I know how to prepare a file for print and the web. The techs I've spoken with have assured me I'm selecting the correct settings. Program has not only been uninstalled and reinstalled, but I went the extra drastic step of wiping my harddrive and starting over. No third-party plug-ins installed that didn't come with the original Adobe software. Have the latest ID update. The problem simply doesn't have a solution in my case.
    Oh, well. As I say, nice guys, but this is my third time speaking with tech support about a problem with Adobe software. Not going to try again. IMHO, the customer service system/process could use some work.

    As I said, it may not happen to everyone. Perhaps with a different operating platform or system version it may not happen. I was only reporting it because it happened to not just myself, but to the tech half a world away who shared my screen, saw the problem, and recreated it on his own machine/system.
    Here are the selections in the ePub Export dialog box that caused the problem. I can't imagine that what is selected for TOC settings or other non-image settings would have to do with it, but here they are.
    1. File > Export > Choose ePub as Format
    2. In ePub dialog box: General Settings
    Include Document Metadata checked
    ePub Cover, you can select Rasterize first page or Use Existing Image File, makes no difference
    Ordering, Based on Articles Panel
    Formatting Options: Leave as Default
    3. In ePub dialog box: Image
    Preserve Appearance from Layout checked
    Resolution, doesn't matter what you select, all produces the same result
    Everything in the first section below this is as default
    Image Conversion: JPEG (I've been using JPEG, but also tried it with a TIFF, and even a Photoshop file, no difference)
    JPEG Options: Maximum, Progressive
    Ignore Object Export Settings: I usually have this checked, but have tried it unchecked, and it made no difference
    4. In the ePub dialog box: Contents
    Format ePub Content: XHTML
    Use InDesign TOC Style checked (I've tried the default, and my own TOC style, no difference)
    CSS Options: I've tried Generate CSS and Use existing CSS template, never used Styles only. Made no difference
    5. Click OK.
    If you need what I do from the beginning...
    1. New file: Print (not web, which tends to not honor the HTML tags on export). I typically chose 1024 x 768 because that's the screen resolution for an iPad.
    2. Command-D, place file. I've tried JPG, TIFF, even Photoshop files of varying resolutions from 72 to 300. Files sizes from 800x600 to 1024x768 to sizes approximately double this. No difference.
    3. Drag cover to Articles Panel and name.
    4. Layout rest of eBook, etc.
    5. Display performance settings while in ID are set to High Quality.
    6. Triple check for errors (always a green light before exporting).
    These are ePub files that have validated, after fiddling with the CSS and XHTML file, as necessary, of course. I don't mess with any image coding.
    That's the steps!

  • Color space when exporting from RAW

    Hello,
    I am a new user of Lightroom and I find color spaces topic a bit confusing so far. My main question is: when exporting a photo, does Lightroom convert to a profile or assign a profile? Because there is no way to choose. I tried to export a photo with 3 different color spaces (sRGB, AdobeRGB and ICC profile from laboratory where I print my photos). After exporting them to JPEG it turned out that all of them look differently on my monitor - does it mean that Lightroom assigns a profile? If it was converting, shouldn't they have the same colours? What is more, after printing them in laboratory, results were completely different than I expected - the photo which had closest colours to what I saw in Lightroom was that in sRGB, but that with ICC of Lab was very different (much colder colours).
    Where is the problem, or what aspect do I seem to misunderstand? Do I have wrong settings, should I use DNG to work with photos, should I export to TIFF, or I just have too weak monitor or wrongly calibrated one? Should I calibrate when viewing a picture in Lightroom or with the use of a photo exported to the ICC profile of Lab?
    I would like to have a little bit of control over what I'm working on, depending on whether I want to publish it on a website or print. I know that my monitor can be a problem (I have an iiyama with IPS), but surely there has to be any way to make results of my work a bit closer to my expectations.
    Just for information, my workflow doesn't require Photoshop, as I rather prefer to use only tools from Lightroom. I hope that my problem doesn't require the use of Photoshop.
    I will be really greateful for your help - the general knowledge about colour spaces seems to be unsufficient when it comes to the usage of applications such as Lightroom.
    Many thanks,
    Marcin

    Thank you for you helpful replies. Now I know a little bit more about it. But still, this is not completely clear to me.

    Both.
    What you mean by both? How should I interpret it? I cannot choose "convert" or "assign", so how they both work together? What does it mean for me wanting to process photo and print in Lab?
    I can only add, that those 3 photos which I exported to JPEG with 3 different colour spaces, they look different when viewing outside of Lightroom, ie. IrfanView. But when importing those JPEGs into Lightroom, differences are extremly slight. Is that because Lightroom operates in ProPhoto, which covers all colour spaces which I used, and other programs work in sRGB and those photos differently?
    And the last question for now: will the hardware calibrator help in monitor which is, let's say, medium cost and medium quality? I mainly use it for preparing photos to put them on the website gallery, but would be nice if I could print better ones with a bit of certainty about what I will get from Lab.
    Many thanks!!

    When you export a photo from LR, it converts to the colour space you select (e.g. sRGB) and embeds the appropriate profile in the exported file. 
    If your monitor were calibrated and profiled, and you view with a colour-managed viewer then images should look pretty much identical no matter which colour space you export in.  (W7 Photo viewer is colour managed, the XP equivalent isn't, Mac s/w generally is.  IE and Chrome aren't properly colour managed, Firefox is for all images, Safari is for images with embedded profiles.  Other viewers vary.)  With colour-managed viewers, the only difference should be with very highly saturated colours outside sRGB colour space (and then only if your monitor can display those colours). 
    LR is colour managed.  If the monitor isn't calibrated/profiled then I think LR assumes the monitor has a colour space equivalent to sRGB (which is generally roughly right but won't be accurate).  Internally LR uses ProPhoto RGB colour space in develop module, but uses Adobe RGB in Library, and previews are stored in Adobe RGB.  However, the colour space LR uses won't explain why other viewers show things differently.  It's simply that LR is colour managed (which means it converts to/from the image colour space), and I guess the other viewers you're using aren't; they just throw RGB data at the screen without converting. 
    Is it worth calibrating and profiling your monitor?  Quite possibly.  Does the colour and brightness vary with viewing angle as you move your head from side to side?  If so, it may be TN technology, and perhaps not worth profiling.  If it looks reasonably stable with different viewing angle then probably yes. 

  • Large PDF file sizes when exporting from InDesign

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knew why some PDF file sizes are so large when exporting from ID.
    I create black and white user manuals with ID CS3. We post these online, so I try to get the file size down as much as possible.
    There is only one .psd image in each manual. The content does not have any photographs, just Illustrator .eps diagrams and line drawings. I am trying to figure out why some PDF file sizes are so large.
    Also, why the file sizes are so different.
    For example, I have one ID document that is 3MB.
    Exporting it at the smallest file size, the PDF file comes out at 2MB.
    Then I have another ID document that is 10MB.
    Exporting to PDF is 2MB (the same size as the smaller ID document)... this one has many more .eps's in it and a lot more pages.
    Then I have another one that the ID size is 8MB and the PDF is 6MBwhy is this one so much larger than the 10MB ID document?
    Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how I can reduce the file size.
    I've tried adjusting the export compression and other settings but that didn't work.
    I also tried to reduce them after the fact in Acrobat to see what would happen, but it doesn't reduce it all that much.
    Thanks for any help,
    Cathy

    > Though, the sizes of the .eps's are only about 100K to 200K in size and they are linked, not embedded.
    But they're embedded in the PDF.
    > It's just strange though because our marketing department as an 80 page full color catalog that, when exported it is only 5MB. Their ID document uses many very large .tif files. So, I am leaning toward it being an .eps/.ai issue??
    Issue implies there's something wrong, but I think this is just the way
    it's supposed to work.
    Line drawings, while usually fairly compact, cannot be lossy compressed.
    The marketing department, though, may compress their very large TIFF
    files as much as they like (with a corresponding loss of quality). It's
    entirely possible to compress bitmaps to a smaller size than the
    drawings those bitmaps were made from. You could test this yourself.
    Just open a few of your EPS drawings in Photoshop, save as TIFF, place
    in ID, and try various downsampling schemes. If you downsample enough,
    you'll get the size of the PDF below a PDF that uses the same graphics
    as line drawing EPS files. But you may have to downsample them beyond
    recognition...

  • "Cloudy" Footage when Exporting ProRes 422 Timeline

    Hello everyone,
    I'm having a problem when exporting a "QuickTime Movie" from FCP6 with a ProRes 422 sequence. The exported footage is very "cloudy" and washed out. When I export to an .mp4 from FCP6 as a QuickTime Conversion, it's not as bad, but the contrast is still way too bright. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!!!

    I too use a Canon mark II and post at cinema5D.com all the time. You might find some helpful resources there for shooting and handling the footage from that camera. I suggest this because you said the Sony HDV camera looks OK compared to the 5D footage. My 5D footage beats all my HDV cameras in highlight detail so this is suspicious.
    The 5D is a challenging (and rewarding) camera but the exposure system is hard to manage. It is possible your footage was over exposed in-camera. If not, you can try running the footage through Apple Color and check the video scopes. Areas around the faces should be around 55 to 65 IRE in the Waveform monitor. Your display might need to be calibrated. This would explain the difference between the computer monitor and the TV output. It is also possible you have not updated Quicktime. There was a big update to QuickTime which fixed the way the Canon h264 files are interpreted and this fixed most issues like the ones you are describing.
    Your camera also should have the latest firmware update from Canon which added manual controls in the M mode. Without this, the camera is constantly changing its exposure during the clip and will tend to blow out highlight details easily if there is a predominance of dark colors in the scene.
    Also, you can try enabling highlight tone priority on the camera, which is sort of like a Black Stretch mode on some camcorders which adds a stop of highlight detail.
    Regardless, the fact that it looks the same in all mediums except your computer monitor suggests the problem is a poorly calibrated monitor. I'll bet your footage is not properly exposed, but for some reason it appears to be this way on a dimly set monitor. Forgive me if I've over simplified the problem.
    One last test you can do is change your compression settings to Animation and render just a few frames. Don't do too many, because the file will be huge. Animation doesn't use any color management (this is called absolute colormetrics) wherein the ProRes and h264 CODEC's are relative colormetric. If the footage still looks wrong in animation compression, you can eliminate the gamma shift/color management from your list of culprits. Hope that helps you figure this out.
