HELP! How do I export large jpegs in lightroom 5?

I've always shot jpegs with my camera and edited them in Lightroom. The last set up photos I took, I decided to shoot in RAW. I uploaded them to Lightroom 5 and after editing them, exported them to my computer as jpeg files. 100% quality and didn't limit the file size. They all saved to my computer around 4.5mb. When I used to edit my large jpegs and export them, they would be around 7mb. I'm so confused! Why would these be smaller since the RAW files to begin with are larger?
Is there something I'm missing? Lets say I want to export all my RAW photos to my computer as jpegs, but want them to be 10mb in size? Is this possible?

Do you know why the RAW would save as a 4.0mb jpeg, but if I don't shoot raw and only jpeg (and edit the same in LR), it will save it up to 10 or sometimes larger? Just curious why this would be.
My advice remains to IGNORE (as in don't pay attention to) the file size of exported JPGs. Any attempt to understand and find meaning in JPG file sizes will drive you to frustration, and is an exercise in chasing your tail. There are too many factors that you cannot control and cannot quantify that go into determining JPG file sizes.
And if that is the case (you don't get more pixels), then why bother shooting RAW?
Because each pixel of a RAW photo contains more information (up to 16 bits ... but most cameras use 12 or 14 bits) than the corresponding pixel of a JPG (8 bits only). With more information in the RAW photo, you can produce more pleasing photos when you edit them.

I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?

If you want the same export settings on some or all of the images you can select all that have the same export requirements and export them as a group.
If all the images have the same requirements then you can select them all and run the export command.

How can I export the very cool Lightroom Map and link to the photos which show on the map?

How can I export the very cool Lightroom Map and link to the photos which show on the map?
I love the way Lightroom imported my .gpx files, automatically geocoded the photos, and show where I took them on the map.
Would love to export this lovely map and the photos which have been geocoded to the map.
Anyone know how to export this as an HTML file I can import into my web site.
I'm a Realtor in Berkeley, and integration of the elegant map and the photos. It would be perfect way to show my clients where the homes are, and what they look like.

You probably didn't get an answer because none exists within Lightroom.
You can perform a screen caputre of the Lightroom map, and use the resulting JPG/GIF of your screen, however there is no way to hyperlink the point on the map to your photos.
You might want to consider a non-Lightroom solution, such as uploading the photos to an Album on Flickr (or one of many other photo sharing web sites) and using the mapping capabilites there, which would be hyperlinked to your photos, see example below. You can use Lightroom to geotag the photos and then use Lightroom to upload to Flickr (or other web site) and then use the web site to create and display the map

How do I export 72ppi jpegs from InDesign without losing quality?

I need to export indesign files that I design to 72ppi for web without losing any quality (or as minimal as possible). Countless times I have tried different methods, but alwasy manage to create a workaround, whether it be good quality, or just readable text. ITs really the small text I have the problem with. I explain in the below video my problem in further detail. But basically, I have tried many things such as pasted from indesign to photoshop, exporting to 300ppi jpeg and resizing in photoshop, exporting to 72ppi jpeg and viewing (not good at all), exporting as PDF, opening in photoshop ticking anti alias and inputting my dimensions... how can I get this to work?? Someone please help.. I have battled this problem for to long and my boss is getting annoyed with it. We need to fix this.
Many people say to export to PDF and then open in photoshop and save as a jpeg from there.. but how can i export a PDF to 72ppi?? Please Adobe fix this issue in future editions of InDesign. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Here is a link to the video if yu can't view it below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uqsGnhT3gY&feature=youtu.be

You have it backwards. You export a PDF, and when you open it in Photoshop, that's when you pick the resolution. Any text in the PDF will likely be vector data, and it will be changed into bitmap data at the resolution you choose. I'll give you an example:
I placed a 300ppi image (5.7MB Photoshop tiff) into an InDesign page with three captions (12pt, 9pt and 6pt). I exported the page as two different PDFs. One was set to High Quality Print (a1) and the other to Smallest File Size (a2). A1 came in at 446KB and a2 came in at 37KB. When opened in Photoshop, I picked 72ppi as the resolution, flattened and saved as an RGB Jpeg without color profile and quality setting of 12.
The a1 jpeg was 180kb in size and a2 was 156kb, so not too far apart, considering the difference in file size between the PDF versions. If you open the jpegs in Photoshop, you will see that the size of the letter F at the beginning of the 12pt caption is nine pixels high in each, so if the problem you are having is that small text isn't readable, maybe the text is just too small to be readable at 72ppi.

How to read local large JPEG files and display into Images Tile

Hi all,
I can read the local multiple files by FLEX/AIR FileListEvent
and loader to read the large JPEG files but cannot display them
into a TileList. Since it is a number of images files, how can I
put them into a thumbnail TileList.
Please kindly advise.
Regards,
Billy

1. So I would like to know which is the {color:#3366ff}best way to load local images in ImageView{color}.I'm no expert, but is there a reason that you are using Swing to do the loading?
2. secondly, currently the system displays all images only after the completion of creating all images. {color:#3366ff}How to display images as and when they are created.{color} So that the user has a feeling that the images are loading.JavaFX Image class let you display a lightweight placeholder, and you can bind the progress to some kind of visual indicator. I don't think you can display an image that is partially loaded.

How can I export to jpeg?

Hi How can I export my photos from Touch to jpeg? I have Nexus 10 tablet, no PC or other Photoshop. Without that facility seems pretty useless!

As you browse your PS Touch projects, on the top right, tap the 5th icon from the right. Tap, "Save to Gallery." Tap each project you want to include. Tap, "JPEG," as the file type if not already selected. Tap, "OK."
The exported JPEGs should be in a folder marked "Adobe Photoshop Touch" in the Android Gallery app.

Help: How to forbiden Export utilities to export database?

Hi all,
How to forbiden Export utilities to export database?
Thanks
Eric David

please find the required Process ID of the exp job by using the following command :
$ ps -ef|grep exp
After finding it kill the pid (assuming PID as 3388) :
$ kill -9 3388 --- where 3388 is the PID
I thought it was regarding the process killing...My word misunderstood it...You cannot disable EXP/IMP utility because it comes with the oracle software itself...if you dont want any one to take the export then revoke those privileges from the required users...
Cheers!

I have imported and processed photo's in Lightroom 2 and kept stored files on external hard drive. External hard drive crashed....how do I export photo's from Lightroom when it says 'file not found'?

Folders with photo files are lost due to external hard drive crashing. Processed photo's are still in LR. How can I export from LR to a file (any file) that no longer exists? Help!!!

Well, no backups, the technical term for that is "a problem". I think from this point forward, you need to commit yourself to making regular automated backups of all of your photos and catalog file to different physical disks, no excuses.
Your photos are not stored in Lightroom. However, Lightroom does create "previews", this is what you are seeing, but these are usually smaller and low-quality compared to the originals. There are plug-ins that can extract the previews from Lightroom. One such plug-in is here robcole.com - PreviewExporter

How to export large .jpeg in indesign

I'm trying to export a large jpg file from indesign for a commercial printer (Large format bill board Advertising poster). Getting message indicating that the file is too large and to try using a lower resolution - but this does not deliver required quality. Have tried exporting as PDF then saving in PS as tiff - but again quality not good.

Hi Mike!!!
3000mm x 5000mm high ad board. I¹m not dealing with the printer at all which
is frustrating, this is all through the client. They said no smaller than
50dpi, saved as jpeg or tiff. I managed to send them 100dpi but to me they
look rubbish. Since my early morning panic all seems to be well. Client
happy, which I didn¹t expect, so fingers crossed I have seen the last of
that job!
Sorry after so long I contact you for advice and not just a hey¹!
Maybe catch up one day

How do you export large audio files?

I made a mix which is about 20 minutes long and seems to be around 600MB. There are 13 songs and I put each song on a separate track. Ive tried bouncing, exporting and sharing and anything I try results in Logic Pro X (version 10.0.1) starting the process then quitting. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to export this file. Ill be honest I don't really have a clue what I am doing. I just recently started using Logic and I am still learning! I wanted to put this mix up on soundcloud so if anyone could give some suggestions that would be very helpful! Thanks!

if the outfile is much larger than 600MB then...
Bounce out as a PCM .caf file.... which allows for much larger maximum file sizes....up to 13.5 hours at 16bit/44.1k for example..
...Also.. if it isn't the size of the output file that is causing the issue.. bounce out in realtime mode rather than offline mode.. to a Wav or MP3 file... in case it is a plugin that is causing the bounce out to quit... and then upload the resulting MP3 or wave file to Soundcloud manually...
Finally, make sure you have set the start and end times in the bounce out dialog box.. to reflect the correct start and end times of your project....

Exporting Large Jpegs

Ok so my question is this. I get on some stock photo sites and I'm seeing people with 200mb jpegs posted. I know that even a Nikon D3 isn't going to pump out the kind of quality, so I know they are using a program to resize to a larger image. Is this possible with lightroom? Even when I shoot in raw, I'm still getting the same jpeg size when I export out.
Suggestions?

>The guy I'm referring too is here. Supposedly istock doesn't allow people to forcefully push a file past it's original quality, but at the same time I've never heard of a camera taking 13200 x 10200 size shots.
There are several ways to get there that are not upsizing. One is to shoot (medium or large format) film and scan (duh!). Medium and large format film has far more resolution than any digital SLR or even medium format digital back on the market currently. The other is to shoot multiple images and stitch them electronically. In this case, you would either use a tilt/shift lens, or you move the camera.

Export Large JPEG's

I would like to send some of my images to a stock library but they require a 48 MB JPEG. Is it possible to export a file of this size from Aperture? Or do I need a third party plug-in!

Aperture doesn't resize up. You'll need a plugin.
Note, it's extremely unlikely they're looking for a 48 MB JPEG file. They're probably looking for a 48 MB TIFF file, which is in the 10-12 megapixel range if I recall correctly.

How do I export a jpeg from iMovie 11?

I must admit, I am new to Mac and am happy to have converted, so be gentle on me. I have read a number of the archived post, haven't found any recent posts, but I am unable to "reveal in finder". I have attempted both methods, from event as well as project. The capture is always 4 secs, do I need to make other adjustments? It doesn't seem to work for me as described in the older posts.

Greetings Appleman,
I am a Geezer and totally baffled by some of these functions. I first selected a clip, moved it into the "Project" window. Then selected the clip in iMovie project window, but when I "right click" I have no idea of where to find "Reveal in Finder." it is not in the window that opens up with a right click. (I get a whole list of functions from "Play, Play Selection, Loop Selection, -- Cut, Copy, Paste, etc., but nothing says "Reveal in Finder." All I want to do is snatch a still photo out of my video. Any suggestions?

How to Properly Export HD Video to External Hard Drive

I recently bought a digital camera with HD video capability. When I hook up my camera to my laptop, it automatically loads the video and photos to iPhoto. When I start a project in iMovie, I grab the video from iPhoto. The HD video takes up a lot of room so I thought I would park it on an external hard drive until I needed it. I bought a Passport and tried exporting it from iPhoto onto the Passport external drive, but all it saves to the drive is a still photo, not a movie. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

How are you exporting?
File -> Export Kind - Original should get the material.

Lightroom 3 Export to JPEG issue ( please help) (photo attached)

Hello,
I have been going crazy trying to solve this issue and can't find a solution. I am using Lightroom 3.4.1 on a Mac running 10.6.7. In Lightroom I am editing raw images from a Canon 7D. I tweak and adjust the images to my liking but when I export them as a JPEG at full quality using color space sRGB my jpegs do not look like my adjusted photos in Lightroom. The biggest missing factor is all my "detail" adjustments. Sharpening ect. The colors are slightly less vibrant but the huge issue is the sharpening I do that disappears. Can anyone help me with this? I will supply an example below. On the left is the jpeg and on the right is the grab from Lightroom. I am viewing the jpegs in preview and don't have photoshop. Thanks in advance for any help!

When you export from Lightroom and you do not select the resize option, you will get the full resolution from your original image. This contains far more pixels than your screen can display as displays are very low resolution devices (typically only around 100 ppi). When you open the resultant jpeg in an image viewer, it will have to downscale from that. Usually many times. This necessarily introduces blur and the result will strongly depend on the chosen scaling algorithm. Lightroom uses a fairly good one to downscale and it shows you a preview of a properly output sharpened image at the size you are looking at. Preview uses a particularly bad one. In preview if you want the screen pixels to correspond to the image pixels, you need to hit apple-0 (or use the view menu and select "actual size"). In Safari and Firefox, you need to click on the image to zoom in to actual pixels.
Your comment also makes me realize that you do not really understand the sharpening in Lightroom. The detail tools in Develop are meant to optimize what is called capture sharpening. These should NOT be used to optimize sharpness at the fit view level, but only at the 1:1 view level. They operate basically on the image to correct for image blur that comes from the sensor's antialias filter and for a small amount of lens blur (say when you are diffraction limited owing to use of large f-numbers). Do not zoom out and play with the detail setting. Zoom into 1:1 on certain areas and optimize the sharpening. There are many tutorials on the web that explain this. Then when you go to output your image, you need to apply another sharpening, called output sharpening, at the final size, in order to correct for blur introduced by the output medium such as a printer or a display and by rescaling the image. The print panel has this built in. In the export panel, the options are in the lower tabs. You need to rescale the image to your final size (for example, a 533x800 pixel image is typical for a good web sized image). Then also apply the correct output sharpening in the tab below it. Typical would be to sharpen for screen at a standard amount. I showed some comparisons on this around the LR 2 timeframe here: http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-output-sharpening.html The output sharpening has improved by quite a bit by now from those examples, but they show the general idea.
Hope this helps.
