Exporting - photo dimensions different sizes

I am new to Lightroom. When I export a group of photos some are around 3000x4000 and others are around 6000x8000.
These larger sizes will not upload to my Picasa Web Albums.
Why are they different sizes? Some are only taken on my iphone and are the larger size and others are on my SLR and are the small size.
Thanks

If you want to resize exported images you have to select any file format other than <Original> in the Import Dialog / File Setting / Image Format.
For web-use you would select JPG. Color space for web use is sRGB.
Selecting another format than <Original> will activate the <Image Sizing> and <Output Sharpening> sections of the Export Dialog.
Select a size appropriate for the Picasa Album and select a Quality Setting - between 70 and 80 should be fine; and select output sharpening for screen.
For sizes you can specify from several parameters. I find it most convenient to select 'Long Edge' or "Short Edge", specify the amount of pixels, and let the other edge fall according to the ratio of the image edges.

Exporting photos at original size

How do I export photos and keep their original size. I do not have the Image Sizing checked but it seems to be resizing my photos anyway. It seems to have started this evening. I exported files fine at file sizes of ex: 5387 kb the original size. Not they are exporting at ex: 478 kb. Can't figure out what the problem is. I contacted Adobe and Tech Support is not in until Monday. Ugh

There are a number of different variables for saving a JPG, or a TIFF, which alter both the file size and (in the case of JPG) the specific picture quality which will survive the save.
Lightroom's JPG quality setting does not correspond exactly with what the JPG choices available (e.g.) inside the camera, were doing. The chances of exporting an identical filesize are remote, for JPG. And smaller is not necessarily worse in practice, since one has to consider the efficiency as well as the degree of information loss, of the differently packaged picture.
Also, editing changes made in Lightroom can affect the saved file size that you get when you Export.
If the image has been cropped smaller within LR - whether to a changed aspect ratio, for composition / subject reasons, as a byproduct of perspective adjustment etc, merely straighteniong a horizon, or some combination of those - then there is less picture extent being saved - quite aside from the saving format.
Next, the fine detail present in the image affects the efficiency of compression. A "smooth" image area compresses a lot at a given quality setting (small file), while a "busy" image area compresses less at the same quality setting (big file). So changing contrast, sharpening, blurring with negative Clarity, adding a film-grain effect, vignetting, all kinds of changes to the seen picture may make a difference, because you are in effect... saving different picture content.

Iphoto import imported my photos in different sizes

I have transferred my iPhoto library from my old MacBokPro to my new one.
Initially I used Migration Assistant which took 2 days but eventually worked.
The problem is that when I click on a photo in the new library the photo is a very small version of the same photo from the old library?
Not all of the photos are small so for example there could be 20 photos taken on the one day but 7 are much much smaller in the library on the new MBP
They are both running iPhoto 9.5.1 and when I compare the info of the new photo on the new MBP to the old MBP the information is the same it's only the size of the photo in the library that is different.
I'm concerned that the quality will be affected should I need to print down the track.
I have spent days( not an exaggeration!! ) with Apple who have given me many different "remedies" none which have changed the size of the photos.
The latest "remedy" was Airdropping the folder over again which re imported the photos exactly the same way as they did initially on Migration Assistant.
Should I just stop wasting more phone time with support and just book a Genius appointment that way I can take both computers in and get it sorted out?

which re imported the photos exactly the same way as they did initially on Migration Assistant.
And therein lies the problem. You've imported one iPhoto Library into another. When you do that every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo - hence the different sizes - you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
I cannot stress enough: there is no importing involved. So, no drag and drop to the iPhoto icon, no drag and drop to the iPhoto window, no File -> Import
Just: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

Trouble exporting photos with correct size

I took some pictures of a friends daughter for her senior pictures and the school has very specific size requirements for photos submitted. They state they have to be 2.5" high and 2.0" Wide and 300 resolution.
I set these dimensions in the export box under image sizing but when I go back to check the size after export it isn't correct. The width came over correct but the height comes over at 1.976". I've tried checking and unchecking the box "don't enlarge" and I get the same result.
I did crop the original photo.

Without seeing the photo, there's no way for us to tell. It may be you need to take another head shot with more "space" around it so the crop will work. Wedding photographers do this all the time, their initial photo has lots of unneeded "space" around the subject so that they can crop at various different aspect ratios.

Match sequence settings, why is it exporting in a different size?

I am a little new to this but I want to export my timeline in 2704x1440. I have footage of varying sizes and when i tried to stabilise some of the larger shots in the timeline I got a warning that I can not do it, the shots would have to match the timeline. This is a real pain. I could't find a work around on line so I'm putting the shots into their own sequence, stabilising them there then trying to export them back into the project. All very well but with it set to "Match sequence settings" it down sizes the export to 1080? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or a better way round the stabilising problem??

you may have removed files from iTunes but chose to keep them.
if that's the case, you should be able to track the files down using this script:
Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0
This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

How do I export photos in the act size desired?

I'm just starting to use iPhoto 08. I tried to export a photo and instead of being able to make the photo the exact size that I want ( a feature that the previous version of iPhoto had), I was given only the following choices: Low, Medium, High, Maximum. Being limited to those four choices is not an improvement! Am I missing something? Is it still possible to make an exported photo the exact size desired by using a different command??
Please advise, and thank you.
Diana

In the File -> Export dilogue:
Kind: Jpeg (or anything except Original or Current)
Then the Size drop down becomes available. Choose between Small, Medium, Large, Full Size or CUSTOM allows you most control.
The Low -> High parameter refers to the level of compression on the file.

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.

Print Different Size Photo, one per page

I am using PS5 in 64 bit mode. I print on a Epson 3880 printer. I shoot all photos in RAW. I process all my RAW files in ACR accomplishing 80% of changes and the balance 20% in PS. The output of my retouch is a Master Image (MI) File that I would like to print at different sizes. I am starting to sell my images at Art Shops and Hops. My customers would like to have different size images of my MI's How do I print from the MI, different sizes images with a 150 - 300 ppi and maintain the integrity of the MI?
I have tried the Image Tool but it will not let me print the image sizes that my customers want. The Image Tool only allows me to change one dimension either (H) or (W) but not both. Help.

If you want to print standard size images like 16x20, 8x10, 5x7, 4x6 etc these have different aspect ratios you will need to crop you image to the correct aspect ratio for the print you want or you could print different print sizes that have the same aspect ratio. Like you camera most likely has a 3:2 aspect ratio if you use a DSLR. You could print all 3:2 aspect ratios image on you 3800. 3x2, 6x4, 9x6,12x8 15x10, 18x12, 21x14, 24x16... all that needs to be changed is the print DPI setting without resampling. You have a 3800 that can print up to 17" wide. You can print any size you want. Some image cry out to be cropped. They look best cropped for image composition is often best as some non standard aspect ratio.

Why can I export (and import)the different sizes that I put in the "Responsive Design View"?

Hello
I have troubles when try to import or export the different sizes of the Responsive Design View, I manage at least 13, and it's a little preposterous to add one by one. There are a method that export/import them?
Thanks

There is a way to store custom settings for responsive design.
You can create custom settings in the responsive design mode window.
You can hold down the Shift key and drag the borders via the (right border, bottom border, bottom right corner) resize icons to get specific dimensions and give the current custom setting a name to add them as a preset.
This will add the preset to the <b>devtools.responsiveUI.presets</b> pref that you can inspect on the <b>about:config</b> page.
Those settings are stored in JSON format.
<pre><nowiki>[{"key":"360x640","width":360,"height":640},{"key":"768x1024","width":768,"height":1024},{"key":"800x600","name":"8x6","width":800,"height":600},{"key":"800x1280","width":800,"height":1280},{"key":"980x1280","width":980,"height":1280},{"key":"1280x600","width":1280,"height":600},{"key":"1920x900","width":1920,"height":900}]</nowiki></pre>
See this thread for some JavaScript code to add extra sizes:
*[[/questions/957590]]
You can paste the existing JSON value of the devtools.responsiveUI.presets pref in the prompt and click OK.
Extra values can be added by typing its dimensions (<width>x<height> <name>).
You can paste the resulting JSON value back to the devtools.responsiveUI.presets pref or save it.

Photo books - many different sizes not possible?

Hi. Does Elements 9 really offer only two sizes for photo books?
I want to produce a photo book with multiple pages. But Elements 9 (German version) offers only two sizes:
297 mm x 210 mm (A4)
300 mm x 300 mm
Above those two sizes i see the words “Print locally” (in German). These words “Print locally” cannot be changed. (I have an A4 printer installed.)
I want to produce a PDF file in Elements and send it to an online printing service. These online printing services print photo books in many different sizes from PDF (i will not send it via Elements’ own system). Does Elements 9 really offer only two sizes for photo books?
Am i seeing something wrong? I already changed the printer driver, checked preferences in Editor and Organizer, but found no way at all to get different sizes.
Thanks for all hints!

To merge the libraries manually use "File > Export".
To save the high quality originals, set the export panel like this, with "Kind Original":
If you have edited versions with added titles, caption, places, etc, use these export settings to save your work:

Will Aperture print different size photos on 1 sheet?

In Aperture, is it possible to print multiple photos per sheet, with different sizes for each photo? Each photo may be unique, or I may want to use the same photo for each size. In the past I have used Qimage on the PC, and would like to know if Aperture can handle this as well.
thanks

I guess the light table, as a virtual table, is meant to be limitless in dimensions. I don't see a way to constrain its aspect ratio directly.
But perhaps here's a workaround, certainly not ideal but perhaps at least useful: just make your viewer window the appropriate aspect ratio as the paper you want to print to. Eyeballing may work out fine, but to be more specific, you could start with a new version of an image and crop it to the exact aspect ratio you want. Then add only that one shot and make it large enough to fill the viewer window, adjusting the shape of the viewer window to fit that placed image closely. Now you can unplace that image and you're left with a blank light table, the viewable portion of which is the precise aspect ratio you need for your paper. So you can place your images to fit within that window -- if you end up going over one edge (that is, growing your table) you can simply right-click and "zoom to fit" which will fit all the images in your viewer window. The key is that the viewer window is the right proportion.
I think an option to have the table constrainable in proportions is a good idea, but this might work in a pinch. Just an idea.

Photo Gallery thumbnails in business catalyst render in different sizes in different browsers

Photo Gallery thumbnails in business catalyst render in different sizes in safari and chrome but are fine in firefox. What is the issue with Safari? I have tried the different algorithm options such as fill_proportional etc and firefox is the only browser that displays correctly. I thought safari was the most standards compatible browser - what's the problem here?

Hi,
If you have seperate XML file but with the same basic structure then you can change the XML a Spry dataset refers to and regenerate the spry region without reloading the full page.
So on my photo gallery page I can change the album the photos are shown from via the seturl sprydata function as below. dsPhotos being my Spry dataset that points to the relevant XML dataset with my image references and captions etc. My XML is actually dynamically generated from Picasa RSS feeds (and RSS feeds are XML) but the principle will be the same with your static XML.
First I add an event listener for when someone clicks on an album (the li tag within my div with the id "albums" holds a photo and title for each album.)
function Albums()
var myalbums = Spry.$$("#albums li", "TabbedPanels1")
var rows = dsAlbums.getData();
var setListener = function( element, value )
Spry.Utils.addEventListener( element, "click", function(){ showAlbum( value ); },false );
for( var i = 0, length = myalbums.length; i < length; i++ )
setListener( myalbums[i], i );
Then this is the code which changes the photo album to be shown. (when the user clicks the relevant album)
function showAlbum(i)
pauseShow();
pImage = 'No';
var rows = dsAlbums.getData();
var albumid = rows[i]["albumid"];
var url = "xml/PicasaAphotoFeed.asp?albumid=" + albumid;
dsPhotos.setURL(url);
dsPhotos.loadData();
var rowcount = dsAlbums.getRowCount() - 1;
var nextalbum;
var navnext;
var n;
The page is here www.thehmc.co.uk/photo5.html is you want to see it in context.
In your case showAlbum would switch between Frank.xml or Wolfie.xml depending on how you decide to name your xml datasets.
Regards
Phil

I have many photos with file extension of .PDD and that Photo Deluxe 4 no longer will operate in Win 7. How can I open? Next in Elements 11, how do I load and print different pictures and different sizes options on the same page?

Why photos in iPhoto (mac) have a different size (mb) than the original?

I have noticed that some photos (not all) have a smaller size (in MB) in iPhoto than the original ones. Do you know the reasons of such decrease of size? iPhoto import procedure is supposed to not lose any information wrt the orignal one then, why the imported photos in some cases should be smaller? Thanks in advance.

1. the source of the original size is the size that I read in the finder (not the one read in the camera).
2. the pictures are jpg
3. the source of the anomalous size is the info box of iphoto, the box where you can find all the exif info, resolution, iso, f-number, EV, etc. In this box you can read also the size of the photo, and here I find that for some photos a smaller size than the original one read in the finder.
4. for the records the camera is a FUJI S5 pro.
5. the photos are not edited in iphoto, as said in my reply, just imported and placed in a album. I just import photos in a folder on my mac, import those photos in iphoto, and I find the mismatch of the size between the photos in the folder on my desktop with the original photos and the ones in iphoto. As said, this does not happen for all photos, but for a subset, which appears to be random, since I do not find common features in these photos. I have check in older photos imported and find similar mismatch.
I know that's crazy, I really do not understand why this strange fact is happening. It is even stranger, that if I import twice the same photo, I read two different size in iphoto.

I have tried to use File - Export to reduce the size of my pics to send via email and all I get is a blank pic. How do I reduce the size of the photo and still have the photo?

I have tried to use File > Export to a folder on my Desk top to reduce the size of my photos and all I get is a blank, grey screen. How do I reduce the size of my pics so I can email them?

Where are you getting this screen? In iPhoto after selecting the File ➙ Export menu option? If that's the case try this:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/() Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..
You can resize photos outside of iPhoto with 3rd party applications like Resize!.
Click to view full size
With it you can change both the pixel size and file size of the photo to the size that suits your needs. For other such apps go to MacUpDate.com and search for "image resize" to get a list of potential candidates.
