File size growth fr Aperture to Photoshop and back. Why?

When i take a 15Mb file from Aperture to Photoshop, work on it in photoshop them save back into Aperture its grown to about 56MB back in Aperture, BUT why when i open the Adjustments HUD for this new file in Aperture does it make a new copy of the image and make it 150MB size in Aperture.

This is because Aperture converts the file to a TIFF wrapped as a PSD file to import to photoshop, which gives you the initial size increase. When photoshop saves the file, it is also saving (in the PSD) any layers you have created, so several layers will increase the size of the file several times.
Nothing wrong with Aperture - just a fact of life when storing native Photoshop files (PSDs) to disk - they're huge!
Hope that helps.
Dave.

    In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each croping? Thx

    Select the Crop Tool and check the box [  ] Delete Cropped Pixels and you should see a reduction in file size.  With the box unchecked, the data is still maintained in the document, you just can't see it.

  • File size wrong when editing in Photoshop

    Sometimes when I right click on an image in Lightroom and choose Edit in Photoshop, the resulting file in Photoshop has a size of 72 dpi and usually like around 3" on the long side. The original file is 13 mp so it isn't because the initial file is small. This happens maybe 20% of the time, and I cannot find a pattern to it.
    My workaround is to open that image in Bridge, go through ACR and it is then fine in Photoshop.
    I am using the Photoshop CS3 beta, but I don't suspect that is the problem.
    Anyone else having this issue? Is it something I am inadvertantly doing? Or if it is a known problem is there a fix?

    Hmmm. Wonder why these few images would be any different than the ones before/after them? They are all raw files from my 5D, imported by Lightroom from my cf card. And again, I can process the same files I had problems with in Lightroom through Bridge and go into ACR and they are fine that way. Next time it happens, I will email you the CR2 file...thanks. Hopefully you can see something interesting about it!
    Is there some place in Lightroom that I can specify what ppi and/or file size to use when I edit in Photoshop? The files (other than these weird ones) are currently coming in at 240 and I'd prefer 300. Just saves me one little step of changing it, but hey every step helps in a workflow!

  • Maximum file size for Adobe air for Androind and iOS compiled apps

    Hi All
    I am working on a project which has a few videos which I need to bundle into my mobile app for an Ipad app I am creating using Adobe Air for iOS. My question is simple is there a maximum file size limit on apps compiled using Adobe air for iOS? And if so what is it? Any help would be great.
    regards Mike

    Hi.  Im not a 100% sure this is correct.  I am able to make a large .IPA file (200+Mb) and it will go onto my iPad 1, but it does not work - Just quicts after a few secs.  If I run the same IPA on my iPad 2 it works.
    When I take out some of the assets so its a smalelr size then it does run on the iPad.

  • Incorrect file sizes shown in Finder over NFS and permissions issues

    Hi there
    This is a problem that existed for me in Leopard and has not been resolved in Snow Leopard.
    I have an XSan with a Leopard server sharing over NFS and AFP. When I connect from a Leopard or Snow Leopard client over NFS the file sizes in Finder are incorrectly displayed. My Tiger clients work perfectly.
    Also, although it says I have read write access to the files over NFS I cannot save over an existing file when I make changes to it, I instead have to create a new version of it and remove the old one.
    Check the link to show a grab of one of the folders in question, the upper window is what the NFS shows me, the lower AFP. If you Get Info on the files over either connection the byte count is identical.
    http://www.the-9000.com/images/finder_anomaly.tiff
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    This is a problem that existed for me in Leopard and has not been resolved in Snow Leopard.
    Have you filed a bug report with Apple?
    http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
    If not, there's less of a chance they'll know about it and help fix it for you.
    Do things look OK from the command line in Terminal?
    It would probably be useful to use a tool like Wireshark to check out what each protocol is sending over the wire. That could at least narrow it down to being a client or server issue.
    Thanks

  • File Size Reduction When Editing in Photoshop

    When using Smart Objects my DNG file sizes increase from 9mb to over 100mb after a few adjustments.
    I found that I can reduce the file size greatly, for example back to 9mb, by reducing the Image Size to, for example 300 x 400 pixels, without flattening.
    Then I can save the file. The next time I want to work on it, I can open it, change the image size back to the original, for example, 2592 x 3872, and have all of my adjustments and filters available to make further changes.
    Although, I cannot see any difference in quality, I am new to this, and I am concerned that I am not skilled enough to see the difference.
    It would be very beneficial to store 9mb files instead of 100mb files and still have the same quality available, when needed.
    Please tell me if I am missing something here.

    Jeff,
    With your guidance, I did an experiment. I made a Curves Layer and painted on the mask to reveal the adjustment. I then changed the file sizes as shown in the table, saved the file, re-opened it, and then re-sized it. (Image Size in pixels; File Size in megabytes). The comments under image refer to the painted area of the layer mask. As you indicated, I did not observe any degradation outside the painted area of the layer mask.
    Image Size File Size Layer Mask Image
    2592x3872 112.5 mb
    800x1195 18.9 Intact Slight Saturation and sharpness
    degradation
    2x3 8.5 Blurred Major degradation
    Thanks for directing me to the issue. This will allow me to make an informed choice when balancing quality with file size.

  • Why is the file size increasing when cropping in Photoshop CC?

    While cropping a picture the file size is increasing dramatically.
    An image 7360 X 4912 px (Image size : 103,4M) after cropping to 60 X 40 cm 300 px, goes up to an image of 18000 X 12000 px (Image size : 618,0 M). And the computer is unable to cope with such a file...
    It wasn't like that when I first started to use the program.
    I crop the same image using CS5 and the result is an image of 7087 X 4724 px (Image size : 95,8 M) which is normal...
    Will aprreciate help...

    Thanks for replying. First I didn't have this problem in the beginning. I do the same in CS5 and I can do it with no problem.

  • How I calculate the flv file size whe I recording from camera and microphone?

    Hi all:
    I'm recording video from my webcam and my microphone.
    I would like to know how I can to determinate via some formula, approximately, the result file size due to camera and microphone configuration.
    I show you my actual configuration:
         // setup cam
        cam = Camera.get();
        // setting dimensions and framerate
        cam.setMode(320, 240, 30);
        // set to minimum of 70% quality
        cam.setQuality(0,70);
        // setup mic
        mic = Microphone.get();
        mic.setRate(22);
    Only ohert question:
    What enconders are using to encoder video and audio by default?
    Regards, Roberto.

    I'd say 9.4 mb is correct. Email attachments always put on a lot of weight, so 12 mb as an attachment is probably right too.
    Why don't you use a free service like Filemail? It's very easy to use, and you dont't have to sign up to use it.

  • How to decrease PDF file size without losing quality of images and vector lines?

    I have several ai files that I saved as PDFs. Now I'm having problem with the size of this combine files. Can some one assist me with the proper way on decreasing file size without losing quality.
    Thank you.

    I am having the same problem with a different file that's in a different format mentioned above. I'm trying to convert a ".srf" file and turn it into a ".pdf." I was successful doing this but my image, once in a .pdf was also pixilated.
    I thought if I convert my ".srf" file to a ".jpeg" first, then bring this newly created ".jpeg" into a ".pdf," I would have more luck. But unfortunately the free download I got on my computer that's supposed to convert any file to any file, CANNOT convert ".srf" files to ANYTHING!
    Does anyone have any ideas? Or any specific programs I should get?
    Thanks!

  • On exponential file size growth

    I can see why they've done this. The presentation is far more portable if the images are embedded in the .key file. No-one has to keep track of file locations, relative paths, etc. Though for those of us who prefer another image editing tool keynote should have a pref to embed or not; and in the case of not should maintain a live link to referenced media files. I suspect this embedded tif generation is what's causing problems with QT mov playbacks.
    I've found that doing "Save As...." seems to force keynote to ditch redundant internal tiffs thereby making for a smaller .key file.

    Well, that certainly explains why a Pages test I sent Brian had blossomed to 8M with only six photos. I had used the adjustment tool on one and it went from a 988k photo to a 'filtered' tiff that was 7.3M.
    That's quite a bit of hard drive realestate used up for something that should be fairly small.
    I had thought that the Adjustments were non-destructive, and I guess they are. I had originally thought they would only be done 'on the fly' using a bit of the Core Image goodies in 10.4, but it appears a completely new photo is being generated, with somewhat greedy tendancies.
    Send this to feedback so they know about it. There should definitely be an option to save as a jpeg instead of as a tiff.
    Just ran a test.
    Dragging an image and saving the presentation resulted in one image in the file.
    Adjusting it and saving it resulted in two files, one 7 times as large saved as a tiff.
    Resettign the adjustment pane and closing it, and saving it resulted in two images still.
    Deleting the image and saving got rid of both files.
    Dragging the image in again and saving it gave only one file. I deselected the 'resize images to fit on slide', just in case. (That used to generate large tiffs as well)
    There is seriously something wrong with this. I honestly thought that it did it's image manipulations on the fly as the slide was displayed. In fact I was hoping it did that. What I do know is that if an image has an adjustment applied, and is then turned into a placeholder image (makes it easy to add a replacement image) the replacement image will be retain the adjustment. I guess this is only a potential problem with Pages, since Keynote does not use placeholder images.
    More play is required before figuring this out.

  • Lightroom to Photoshop and back logic

    Hi Lightroom/Photoshop wizards,
    I work in LR and PS CC.  I am now working for someone else and want to make sure that our edited images end up in lightroom after editing in a logical manner so that we can easily see which images will be used for our photo albums.
    Here is how I am working:
    Import photos into LR, give 4 star rating to images that will go into album
    Make some LR edits
    Edit photo with PS (directly from LR)
    Save image in PS
    go through all images to hand pick the ones that I want in the album (now there are copies) This is the part where everything falls apart.  I end up with redundant files and I can't distinguish the finished ones (other than looking one by one to determine the correct version to use).  Is there a logical way to handle this?
    Export to separate "album" folder selected images
    Also, one extra question, If I am working with high res jpegs (rather than raw), how do I maintain the size of the files?  I exported original file and it did not carry with it any changes made in Lightroom.
    Thanks!
    Lisa

    I am sorry if I was not clear. I was thinking that there might be a quick and simple way to identify or flag images that I want to track for say and album.  I want to eliminate any confusion or taking the wrong version of a file.  Perhaps I should just ask what a reliable, logical workflow is when working in LR/PS round tripping.  Perhaps making PS edits first, then Lr changes?  I want the simplest, cleanest, logical, least amount of confusion when working on images for an album.  Having 2 or 3 versions of the same image can lead to confusion.  Some of our images will not be edited in PS, others will.
    No, you certainly want to edit photos in LR first, and then if necessary send them to PS for additional edits that are not available in LR.
    I'm still not clear about "eliminate any confusion". What confusion? As I said, the photos that have been edited by PS will have the word "edit" in the file name, while the photos that have not been sent to Photoshop will not have "edit" in the file name. Also, when you send a file to PS, you can ask LR to stack the PS edited version with the version that has not been sent to PS, thus keeping the pair side-by-side in the Library module.
    My second question is exporting out jpegs without losing any resolution - basically copying the files to another folder for example "edited album images" folder and keeping them in the lr database.  Is there a way to do this through Lr?  When I chose "export" and "original" lr edits did not carry through.
    So in your first message, you spoke of file size, and now you speak of resolution. These are not the same. So which is it? To maintain the resolution, you uncheck the box that says "Resize to Fit".
    I don't understand why you want to copy files to some other folder, Lightroom provides collections and keywords and plenty of other tools to allow you to organize and identify these photos for whatever purpose you want. So you would use these tools to achieve the organization of your original photos or the Photoshop edited versions of the photos. Without a clear justifcation, I would say that in most cases there is not a need to achieve organization of exported photos. Furthermore there is no "copy" command in Lightroom (except at import which we don't seem to be talking about).
    Reading between the lines, it sounds like you want to export to save your edits and then maintain some organization of your edited photos? Is that  correct? As I said, there is no need to do this (nor is it an effective way to proceed). You perform the organization of your photos in Lightroom, no need to export simply to organize. Exporting is performed when the photo is needed outside of Lightroom for some non-Lightroom purpose (e.g. e-mail, web, print, use in some other program).

  • Lightroom to Photoshop and Back

    I am working on improving my workflow and have a slant on what appears to be a common question.
    If I make a series of changes to a DNG in Lightroom 4.3, then switch to Photoshop CS6 for additional changes (like removing blemishes and softening an image, I know some of this can be done in LR now, but bear with me). Is it possible to return to Lightroom and change a setting (like white balance) and have the change reflected in Photoshop?
    I recently spent an hour in Photoshop fixing various defects in an image only to discover I did not like the final white balance. I updated the white balance and had to redo all my Photoshop tweeks.
    Any tips for a new user?
    Matthew

    No. I would not adjust the white balance in Photoshop because Lr can do that better.
    Yes, in Photoshop you can do a intricate curve with black-point, white-point, and several neutral points in-between - but how often is that needed?
    Apart from images that I edit in Photoshop because I want to do layers, and other things that Lr cannot do (for instance that intricate curve), I use Photoshop only for the clone tool, the patch tool, and the content-aware fill. Everything else I do in Lr - simply because its easier and also because its non-destructive. In Lr I can always "undo" by going back in the history palette.
    If I want non-destructive in Photoshop I have to use adjustement layers. But that increases file size dramatically.
    Before we had Lr, I was using Photoshop for everything. Now I'm hardly using it because Lr does it easier.
    So, my workflow is this: If an image needs editing in Photoshop, I do it right away - before doing anything in Lr. After that I stay in Lr without returning to Photoshop.

  • Exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop and back to Lightroom shows different results in Lightroom than in Photoshop

    I has set the color space to ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I have also calibrated my monitor.
    But when I export a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop and edit it there before saving it, the photo in Lightroom is very different than what the Photoshop edit shows.
    Photoshop is to the left, Lightroom to the right.

    Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide details about your system, your files, your develop settings, other stuff. You need to be much more specific.

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.
