Export JPG at 100% is reducing the pixel dimensions ??

Im using the most up to date Lightroom (5.5) on a Mac running os 10.9.4.
In the not too distant past (i've only been using Lightroom since April) I have been able to export my processed images to full sized jpegs. This refers to the physical dimensions....not the amount of data.
Now i cannot figure out why, but Lightroom has started to shrink my jpegs. My test image was 4665x4000 pixels and a month ago Lightroom exported the jpg at exactly those dimensions. Since then something has changed (probably an update!) and when i now try to export the same image its reducing the output dimensions to 1985x1702 !!
My export settings are set to jpeg 100% Quality, resize options are switched off. Limit File size is switched off.
I have trashed the Lightroom and Photoshop prefs.
Whats going on??
I need to export these files at full dimensions but Lightroom seems to be ignoring its own settings!
help!!

Hi DJ,
agreed - and thats what used to happen. I think it stopped working that way when i had to reinstall all the adobe apps when CC14 came out.
The photo is cropped - but that should not matter. The file being saved is still half the size of the cropped image. And when i did this a month ago, it recreated the exact same dimensions in the jpgs and not just once - every time. Now i cannot get it to work at all.
This composite grab shows the export dialogue, you can also see the images correct dimensions in the metadata section, and on the right is the file this dialogue created - less than half the dimensions it should be!

Is there a way to reduce the pixel size of multiple photos in a slideshow?

I have a Windows 7 computer and use Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9. I recently completed a slideshow that contains about 360 photos, many or all of which exceed the maximum size of 1000 x 750 pixels. Is there any way that I can easily reduce the pixel size of each of the photos? If upgrading to the most recent versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements would help me accomplish this I would be willing to do this. Thanks very much in advance for any advice or suggestions.

You can batch process your images to re-size them in the editor using the menu:
File >> Process Multiple Files
Place your chosen photos in a separate folder and then choose a separate destination folder; so as not to overwrite the originals.

When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data. I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail. This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels. The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size. Anyone know why or how to correct this?

Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview. Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.

What are the pixel dimensions for creating an Apple ibook book cover?

I'm trying to create a book cover for Apple ibooks, what are the pixel dimensions requirements?

Thanks again.
Apple seems to have made it more confusing than it should be.
As an aside, the Apple documentation contradicts itself.
Cover art (also known as a marketing image or jacket) should be at least 1400 pixels along the smaller axis and must be a JPEG or PNG file in RGB Color mode.
This clearly says the shorter side must be at least 1400 pixels. The next sentence says this:
For an average trade paperback, this could be 400 x 1400 minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide.
That doesn't make sense, seeing that the shorter side is supposed to be at least 1400 pixels, meaning it should say "1400 x 4900" for the same aspect ratio.
...I did notice this too.
So, if as you say, that the Cover Art and Cover image terms are the same and the 2 million limit does not apply, then it is unclear to me why Apple sent this message to me about cover file being rejected
"Action Required: Your book could not be delivered to the iBookstore.
The following images are larger than two million pixels and must be resized:
Full ePub: Cover_xyz.jpg "
I'll probably need to have the cover file in epub and Cover Image for Asset in iTunes Producer be named differently (but be copies of the same file) so I can understand which one is the "problem" file.
And finally, why does Apple refer to Cover Art twice here and then end in last sentence with Cover Image if they are the same ( and if they are the same why not state "this cover image").
"Cover art (also known as a marketing image or jacket) should be at least 1400 pixels along the smaller axis and must be a JPEG or PNG file in RGB Color mode. For an average trade paperback, this could be 400 x 1400 minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide. For best results, deliver the largest pixel dimensions possible. When possible, match cover art to the cover contained in the book file. The 2 million pixel maximum does not apply to the cover image".

How do you find the pixel dimensions of a photo to embed in Illustrator CC?

We recently upgraded our software from CS3 to CC. I'm having trouble determining the pixel dimensions of the photo I want to embed in Illustrator. In our old work flow, we simply clicked on the object in Illustrator, and then opened a new document in Photoshop, and it would retain the dimensions at our document size in Illustrator. It was then a simple matter to paste the photo into the box, position and crop and save as a PSD file and then place in Illustrator. That does not work any more in Creative Cloud. The object downsizes to 72 DPI while retaining the resolution setting. We need to keep our Illustrator files to the minimum, so embedding larger than needed files is not possible.
I've researched a bit and I see others with similar problems, but I haven't seen a workaround or a way to determine the pixel size. Document info in Illustrator gives the 72 dpi pixel settings, even though the document is set to reproduce at 200 dpi.
This is something that used to be so simple I didn't think much of upgrading. Now my workflow is horrendously long. I have to rasterize the entire graphic and then crop what is the inset photo. If there is a simpler way, please tell me. All the literature is backwards, about placing an already sized PS image into Illustrator. I need the other way 'round.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think I have a workaround: Make sure the clipboard settings are on 72 by cutting and pasting a 72 dpi file in PS, as it seems Illustrator images are seen that way, no matter what the output resolution is. Click on Photoshop and start a new document. It will retain the proportions of the Illustrator image in 72 dpi. Then open image size and make sure the resample box is checked. Change the resolution to the desired, in my case 200.. Then place and crop your photo, and save the PSD file. Open Illustrator and place the PSD file. This works for me.

How do I change DPI in Photoshop CC without changing the pixel dimension of the file?

I used to be able to do this in Photoshop CS6 by simply clicking the check boxes in the "image size" dialog box:
scale styles
constrain proportions
resample image
(all boxes UNCHECKED)
Then input the dpi (usually converting a 300dpi print file to 72dpi for web). And the pixel dimension will stay the same.
In CC the only option I see is "scale styles" which does not apply to the pixel dimension of the file.
Please help. I would hate to have to do this function in CS6 all the time.
CS6:
CC:

Just uncheck the [ ] Resample checkbox, then change your Resolution.
Change the units from Percent to Pixels if you want to see pixel dimensions.
Once you've successfully run it through (after OK), note that it will remember your units settings the next time you use it.

What are the pixel dimensions of emailed photos from a 4S?

Don't have a 4S and I'm wondering what the pixel dimensions (e.g. 1280x960) are for the Actual sized photos, Large size, and Medium size when you email a photo.
Thanks!

How to change the pixel dimension height?

I need to fix the pixel dimension height "768" for tiff images via scripting. Kindly advise me how to change the height for the images.

i am using vb.net i can't able to fix exact width and heigth for my below code
appref.Preferences.RulerUnits = Photoshop.PsUnits.psInches
docref = appref.Open(CheckerPath.Path & \" & InputFile_From_Illust)
TiffSv.ImageCompression = Photoshop.PsTiffEncodingType.psTiffLZW
docref.SaveAs(IllustFolder + "\" + IllustFile.Name, TiffSv)
docref.ChangeMode(DestinationMode:=Photoshop.PsChangeMode.psConvertToRGB)
TiffSv.EmbedColorProfile = False
Dim heg, wid As Double
heg = 768 / 300
wid = 576 / 300
docref.ResizeImage(wid, heg, Resolution:=300)
But its fixing width as 0.46 and height as 0.613 why its happen i don't.
please advise me.

Exporting 1280x720 video as "quicktime" reduces the size to 655x368?!

I've finished editing 1280x720 .mov clips into a 2-minute long project. They're in great definition in the preview and everything. However, when I go to export it as "Export > Quicktime Movie...", there is a fair loss in quality (I could see small details in the video; now they're somewhat smushed together)!
I've tried different methods using "Export > Using Quicktime Conversion..." too, but when I click on the "size" button, the "current" or native size is a mere 655x368 pixels, and the video quality is still slipping down no matter what selections I make. I tried manually changing the size to 1280x720, but the quality goes down. I also tried exporting directly to youtube, but it didn't even upload in HD 720p like the original file declares it should. It appears Final Cut Express wants to downsize my video and won't allow me to bring the full quality of the video through the export process.
Why is this?
(Unless, of course, I'm just not getting something...)
Getting really frustrated because the original video file is outstanding blu-ray-like quality, and I want to preserve that, but I've been trying for over three hours now... Any answers are helpful. Thanks guys.

I've tried that, along with trying out a few different formats. But since FCE believes the "current" size is only about half of that (the viewer must be changing the size somehow), it somewhat stretches the video and reduces the quality.
Edit: I figured out a (temporary) way to export in full quality, and it's working - I simply adjust the magnification of the viewer to "100%" instead of "fit to window/fit all". But will I have to do that all the time? Because I'm guessing that's not how it works - it should export automatically at 100% of the original sequence and clip sizes.
Edit 2: I think I got it!
It turns out, I initially had it set to "fit to window". It hadn't occured to me to try out "fit all" until I tried out the above. So I selected the "fit to all" option... Now when I go to export, it gives me a current or compressor native size of 1280x720, the proper size. That was pure luck, figuring that out.

How do you reduce the pixels of an image to fit within certain requirements

I am trying to get the pixels of an image to fit certain requirements. When I try to edit the image in iPhoto by clicking custom constrain and then enter the pixel of dimensions I want, it will not adjust the image to them. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go
File -> Export
in the resulting dialogue you can resize:

How to find out the Pixel Dimensions and Document Size of placed images?

Is it possible to find out the placed image details like Pixel Dimensions(Width,Height) Document Size(Width,Height) in illustrator through scripting. Kindly advice me with some examples.

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbaa316.59b84fd8
I hope the snippet therein will get you started.
But after all, when you place an image via pi=layer.placedItems.add() it should pop in with its default dimensions, so that you have pi.height and pi.width ready.
Is this what you are aiming at?

Deteremine the pixel dimension of a string given a font

Hi,
I need to measure some text before I place it down in my scene programmatically. Is there something like a measureString(s:String, f:Font) function? If so, can someone give me some hints of where it is?
Thanks!

Doesn't AS3 also contain functions for drawing shapes and stuff, including text, without the use of things like the TextField. I can see the the textwidth of a TextField will give me the data I need, but I was wondering if there was anything more direct.

How to reduce jpg file size, not pixel dimensions?

I am preparing images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one about gifs, and one about jpgs.
My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired pixel dimensions at 600 dpi
That gives me a crisp small image. then I either use it as is if the file size is low enough (I try for under 600 kb) or convert it to a gif with the save for web and devices tool.
So here are my 2 questions (I will count this solved with either answer)
1) When I convert to a gif I have the 4 boxes: one with original size, the other 3 with options but often the options are too low res for me How do I change my 3 options to start at a higher gif res?
2) If I try to reduce the file size of the jpg in the image size box I set the resolution lower ( 400, 300), which lowers the pixel dimensions and the filesize, but I don't want to cahnge the pixel dimensions. And If I reset the pixel dimensions back to the size I want them, even though it is a lower resolution the file size doesn't change. How to reduce jpg file size using only the resolution, not pixel dimensions? PS I have tried messing with checking and unchecking the 3 little boxes( scale styles, constrain proportions, and resample) but nothing has worked.

Gif is not a great filetype, especially if you want a crisp image. What are your pixel dimensions?
For web, it makes no difference what the dpi is, only the final pixel dimensions so once you have that as you want, use 'Save for Web and Devices' and you can lower the quality - 100% being max and 0% being lowest. I wouldn't save anything below 55%. For a 600kb image, your dimensions must be rather big.

Why do exported JPGs appear darker than the processed RAW in the LR3 Development module?

I have scoured the forums with this question, and I have seen plenty of suggestions about color space and monitor calibration. However, I never seem to find that the issue gets resolved in the forums.
I am using Lightroom 3, and I am exporting to JPG using sRGB. I have noticed that the JPGs appear darker and the prints are also darker. I am using the same monitor to process in LR and to view the exported JPG. Why don't the images look the same, or at least similar? The difference is pretty huge.

… What do you mean by export in an mp4 wrapper? Do you mean export it as an mp4 format instead of H264?? …
no, exactly I did NOT meant that.
that's why I phrased 'wrapper':
a bit confusing, but there's mpeg4, the codec, and there's mp4 the wrapper or media-container:
• use your .mov you have already exported, which has the right colors.
• download/install the free tool Mpeg Streamclip
• open your mov, go straight to 'save as' and choose from drop down mp4
• save and upload that mp4 for comparison to Vimeo
• (tell us, wether you notice any difference, as said, just an assumption)
What will that do?
your h264 encoded material is actually in a .mov-wrapper
Streamclip unwraps that, and puts it into a .mp4-wrapper
this does NOT encode/transcode/affect your h264 material!
it just changes the box, not the chocolate!
What's NOT working is changing the suffix in a Finder operation - that does NOT affect the 'atoms' of the wrapper = a re-named mp4 will be 'noticed' by many programs/players as a mov anyhow! You HAVE to go the 'long' way with Streamclip - due to the simple re-packing operation, that process needs only seconds
I'm using this process to 'convert' my FCPX/iMovie .mov-exports to a readable format for my son's Playstation3 ... mov is a nogo, re-named suffix is a nogo. only re-wrapping to .mp4 works. excellent.
... but, as mentioned, I do care very little about gamma and luma as an hobbyist, my 'products' are under-exposured and veeery colorful anyhow

HT1229 How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto? The size of my imported photos are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB. Any suggestions appreciated.

How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto? The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB. Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.
