File Size ( Dimensions)

Hi,
Is there anyway to increase the drawing sace size. I am in need of making wraps and fabric prints of up to 90' in length. Is there a better way of going about this? We have been decreasing the file size to 10% lets say and then multiplying the size by 1000% in the printer but we have had quality issues. Shop photoshop may be better at this or indesign? We have a customers logo when its increase t 3' wide its 40mb in size. It has photshop type effects to it what can i do to keep this more manageable?
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks
Joe

Learn how to do everything in AI using vector effects.... That aside, I agree with the others. There is no reason to increase the document dimensions with vector art, as it can be scaled losslessly. You could design everything on an A4 sheet and it would still be crisp and sharp if blown up by a factor of 10000%. Also, I think you are having a misunderstanding of the "effective resolution". 90" means a huge hang-up poster or something like that which would only be seen from afar. This stuff is printed at 36 dpi or even lower, yet with proper distance, looks perfect. It's all how the human eye perceives it. So in all fairness, what you are considering quality issues are probably none. At best, your injkjet or whatever may produce unfavorable raster alignments, losing some "dots" here and thewre, but that can usually tweaked down to the micrometer, at least from what little I know about these machines. It really strikes me more as a matter of controlling the print process, rather than the input. If bad luck has it, you could throw an image at it that is twice the target res and it would still look rubbish because the printer is not configured properly...

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.

Sort by file size and/or pixel dimensions

I am constantly frustrated by the lack of ability to sort by file size or pixel dimension. I have many versions of the same images, and often want to find the biggest one, or one of a certain size, and it's very time consuming to have to scan all the numbers in the metadata instead of being able to sort. Please add this.
Thanks!

DevMeta will allow you to filter/collect by width and height dimensions.
PixelCountMetadata will allow you to filter/collect by total number of pixels (width x height).
Now that I'm thinking about it, I should probably have just added the pixelcount metadata to DevMeta, but I didnt..., yet...
PS - I dont use PixelCountMetadata, since I only have originals in Lightroom. All resized copies are kept outside of Lightroom. Consider TreeSync if you regularly keep variously sized copies at the ready for various purposes... And, lastly, ExportManager will help you keep all your trees up2date, if you have more than one.
I then use ACDSee to find photos in the exported copies or run slideshows, or serve on the house net, or email...

Pixel Dimensions and File Size

Can anybody please explain the relation between pixel dimensions and file size?
Being naive, (or straight-forward if you prefer) I had assumed that pixel dimensions wide times pix dimension high = file size. Wrong!
For instance a .JPG file 374 X 500 has a file size of 41,275 bytes. But 374 times 500 = 18,700 so the two are different issues.

Thanks Rich. It kind of sounds like you know something about this.
I see 1 pixel, and 24 bit color would make 24 bits at 8 bits to a byte, so there's the 3 bytes.
I selected a certain photo and used the APPLE i command to see if could find if it had 8 bit color or, whatever. That infomation was not on the info function, but it did say something about RGB color profile.
Is 8 bit color a near certain bet in most applications, or was that just for the sake of illustration?
I Googled 8 bit color and go to a Wikipedia Article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth
which explained a lot, but its more technical depth than what I'm prepared to deal with. The net net, as far as I can tell is that image size (before compression) is dimension times color depth in its native mode, but I suppose what the native mode is and what the displayed mode is could be separate issues?
I was under the impression that the compression in JPG formt files comes out, or is decompressed, when the photo is printed or displayed? No?

Check image details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name

I have 1000 images in a folder, i want to check their details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name into excel with nice user interface.
Pls help me, m just learning ABCD in VB.

The code in the file at the link below might give you a starting point. Firstly it gives you the opportunity to list all of the properties of a file type and then you can select the properties that you want and the second utility gives you the
opportunity to list the selected properties for all files in a selected folder.
Download and extract the file and open the file in Excel.
Click the first button List Meta Data for One File (Run first)
Navigate to and Select any ONE individual photo file. (Photo files because that is what you indicated you are working with.)
You will be presented with a list of the available properties for the file. Where the Item value is blank, that property is not recorded for the particular file. Different file types have different properties and it is also dependent on how the file
was created but generally if all of the files come from the same source then the same properties are recorded for all files from that source.
Now insert a Y in column D for all of the required properties. (Don't select any with the Item value blank)
Click the second button List Selected Meta Data for all Files in a Folder (Run after selecting the required properties).
Next select a folder where the files reside. (You might need to back up to the folder if dialog is blank because it will not show individual files because the code only allows Folders.)
You will be presented with a report listing all of the selected properties for all of the files in the selected folder.
The user interface is not that great but you can improve on that if you want to with a Userform as you get to know VBA a little better.
Download the file from here.

When using crop tool based on canvas size dimensions, the file size becomes very large

Can someone explain how to best figure out crop tool settings to maintain relative file size? I tried to use the image / canvas size information to set the crop tools dimensions, but the file saved is 10 times larger than the original.
Thanks!

What exact version of Photoshop? There were changes to the crop tool as of CS6, althoughy there's an option to use Classic (the old crop tool behaviour).
It wouldn't hurt to specify your platform (Mac or Win)…
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you better and faster.

Pixel dimensions / file size

I am trying to publish a photo to a website with specific limits for pictures. How can I adjust pixel dimensions and file size using iphoto?

Hi wrigjef: Try this: iPhoto open, select the picture(s) you wish to work with, from the "File" menu, select Export. The resultant dialog box will give you several options for pixel dimension, file size etc. After files have been saved to the specified location they can be then up-loaded to the website.
Hope this helps

Edit file size disagreement

Editing the library of Aperture is covered by using Textwrangler, but I post this in hopes someone else had the exact same issue and that they can share their info on how they resolved it.
I have a file library that contains referenced files. Looks like a bug in Aperture causes a photo edited in an external editor to have a mis-matched file size. Hmm, this is problematic as I'm spending hours troubleshooting this issue.
It looks like I should just re-import it at this point, but I initially wanted to avoid that issue. Textwrangler seemed to be a good idea, but I can't go modifying it without a roadmap. Where are the attributes of file size(s) stored within Aperture's library?
When I'm in Textwrangler, I take the filename and +f it. It locates it fine within Textwrangler, but what do I do next? It's referring to another file it seems.
Here is a screenshot to show my problem.

Edit File Size?

Is it possible to edit or modify the (file) size of a photo using iPhoto? Thanks.
Background Notes:
I've uploaded a couple of photos to my .Mac site, but when I view them on my website, the photo takes up the whole page rather than just a small part of it.
I hand-code the pages I upload to my .Mac site using.
I know I can do this using Adobe Photoshop but that's an added expense I really can't afford right now.

Any way to export to specified file size?

Is there any way to export images so they are sized to fit within certain dimensions AND a specified file size? Similar to 'image processor' in Bridge/CS3 or the older Doc Brown's image processor.
Example: (processing images for web use)
I want to export a batch of RAW files to jpg,
Size them to fit within 800px x 800px,
And have them be a consistent file size of around 100kb
(This has been possible to do in Adobe Bridge for years)
I know I can edit Aperture's export preferences and adjust the image quality slider but final images have a range of file sizes and I find myself having to re-export some images over again after adjusting image quality to reach the desired size. This is a trial and error process each time.
Another workaround is to export the images as .tif files, then open in Adobe Bridge and process into jpg's using 'image processor' to reach the desired size. But that effectively negates the use of Aperture in the first place for batch processing files for size. In this case, it'd be more efficient to take Aperture out of my workflow completely and do everything in Adobe Bridge.
Has anyone found a plug-in or less tedious workaround for this?
Cheers,
J

James, you said "my website provider places an upper limit on file size and dimensions per image."
Aperture does take care of half of that, the pixel dimensions. If it was me, I would test out a few images at various levels of jpg quality (5, 6, 7 etc.) and see where both the file size ends up and how the quality looks. Then, just go with one your favorite combinations. Images with more detail will be larger and images with less will be smaller. In the long run, it should even out. If you had the ability to request a certain size, some of your images may look good and others bad. Personally, I would be more concerned with quality than a few k of pixels.

How do I show file size in the Finder icon view for images?

How can I add the file size to the icon view "File Info" for images?
I know how to get it to display the image size under View Options. In this mode it shows pixel dimensions for some images (not for svg or pdfs tho) and file size for some non-images (rar, zip, but not txt or plain text files).
Is there some plist I can modify?

Just found the answer in a post with this subject:

How can I find the file size of an image within an iPhoto event or album?

In order to see the file size of any particular photo, I've been dragging a copy onto my desktop and using "get info." Is there a better way?
I'm using 10.7.4 and iPhoto 11 v 9.3.2

1. That's only getting the file size of the Preview.
2. Click on a photo to select it. Then click on the info button. You can get the dimensions and the file size in the top of the pane
Note that the final size of any image will depend on the export settings you choose.

Need to export Movie to Quicktime Movie w/ similar file size and quality.

Let me preface in that I am not in the video editing profession. Many times I have exported my work to the professionals. I'm sure knowing what you're doing is half of the battle. Here is my dilemma. First, I'm using Quicktime pro just to add a text track to the movie. I then save the file as what Quicktime pro calls Movie .mov. This looks good and has the quality of the original .mov and the small data size. However, no other player than quicktime will recognize the text track. I then tried exporting from Movie to quicktime movie format (still .mov, can anyone explain the difference of the two .mov types???), but I find that the image quality is poor. Yet, in the quicktime format other players (except windows media player) recognize the text track. By poor quality I mean that I think what I have is the blocking effect. I assume that this is due to the bitrate being to low. Again, I would like to keep the file size low and managable for data storage and downloading purposes. I was hoping that in the end all video players would be able to have no issues.
My current file sized are all less than 1MB and are of good quality.
Just adding a small test track the Movie .mov is still less than 1MB
The size of the image is 512x512
I should also say that I'm a PC user with a quicktime pro windows version. I'm sure that doesn't help me one bit!! However, I believe my issues are more with the fact that I'm not experienced in compressing files and knowing exactly the right settings.
Here is what I've tried thus far. Movie to quicktime movie
H264 codec
Current for fps (Which is in the original is 8fps)
Key frames automatic
frame reordering checked
I've tried Automatic data rate and setting the bit rate, even at 2000kbps (the quality is low). My original movie with the highest kbps is only 1151kbps and has no artifacts
encoding Best quality multi-pass
custom size 512x512
deinterlace checked

am i correct that this 'my photo stream' process is not removing any image data?
Yes, as long as you have iPhoto's iCloud preference pane configures as follows:
You're be getting the full image file, pixel dimensions, etc. which is essentially a bit by bit copy of the photo on the Phone.
When you add tags and other metadata and export the file out of iPhoto as a jpeg with the checkboxes selected to include that metadata there will be some image compression. However, if one chooses High or even Medium JPEG Quality one will be hard pressed to detect any image degradation unless printing very, large prints or otherwise displaying the image at a very, large size.
I ran a test on a 1.4 MB photo from my iPhone and compared the original to two exports, one at High and the other at Medium JPEG Quality and got these results:

How do I find out the file size of my photos, and change them to the size

This will sound inane, but I cannot figure out where to find the file size of my photos in iPhoto. I need a jpeg of a certain file size and image size for my blog background, but can't figure out how to even start.

If the limited quality options do not get you the file size you need export the full size image files to a folder on your Desktop and use Resize! to batch resize the image dimensions and file size (jpeg compression level) to what you need.
Click to view full size
With Resize! you can fine tune the pixel dimensions and file size.

How do I minimise the file size of a photo?

I am trying to find a way to miimize the file size of a photo so I can use s a avicon. Does anyone know how to do this?

Select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export
Two settings will impact on the File Size:
Jpeg Quality refers to the amount of compression applied to the file. Size refers to the dimensions (length by breadth) if the image.
