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.

    I am trying to decide if I want to download a tv show [Doctor Who] in standard definition or high definition.  How can I see the file size before I purchase the show from iTunes?

  • Where can I find the file size of an image?

    In PS CS4, when you hover the mouse over an image, one that I have that is sized as a 5x7 at 200 ppi, it shows 933 kb.
    When I open the file, and look at the lower left of the screen, it shows a "Document Size" of 4.01 mb.
    The correct size is 933kb, because it's from a D200 10MP Raw file, converted into jpg, then downsized to the 5x7 at 200 ppi. Default sizes are basically 13x19 at 200 pp (which shows up as a Document Size of 28.7 mb).
    What is a "Document Size" (I think it's the actual dimension area, not pixel size), and why, when the image is open, can I not see the actual file size of 933k anywhere?

    You mean in Windows Explorer window? Photoshop will not show you such information.

    No you can not. You may plan to save it as jpg with any amount of compression that will greatly influenced the file size and Photoshop is not that much intelligent yet to guess your plans :-)

  • When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger.  This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs.  How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output?

    When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger.  This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs.  How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output?  Is there any other ways of achieving this?

    Thanks.  I do not have the experience on burning discs from iMovie for the movie after editing (ie for video discs players).  It seems that i cannot find the relevant command in the tool bar for this purpsoe.  Would you please show me the way?
    The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

    You have mentioned about Handbrake as a converter.  What is the RF no.

Again, what is the best rate?  Furthermore, which format is more suitable or the best: H264 or mpeg 2/4?
    I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

    Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.

  • HT4863 How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

    How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

    You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big.  Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

  • Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading?

    Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading? I have limited download (525 MBs/day) because of Hughsnet and I need to know each applications total size before I download.

    You can go to the trial page to get an estimated size.  As the Creative Cloud products change over time though this may become less accurate.
    If you are on a limited bandwidth account then you may want to consider purchasing a perpetual copy of Creative Suite 6 as opposed to subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

  • How can I reduce the file size of 3 videos?...

    ...without losing quality? These three videos are as follows in terms of size and length of the video:
    1) 148MB 19minutes
    2) 357MB 18minutes
    3) 164MB 14minutes
    I tried using a video converter to reduce the bit rate in order to reduce the size, which i know affects the quality, but that did not actually work to reduce the file size this time.
    I thought perhaps i should ask my forum friends for help on this matter. How,if at all, can I get all three of these MOV's under 100mb or to a total of 300mb for all 3 and preserve quality? It has to be able to play on an ipad (MOV or MP4). Thanks for your help!

    I think that the point that David was trying to make is that reducing the amount of information originally provided by a product or part of it in order to make it smaller will inevitably reduce the efficiency of the product itself.
    However, you don't have access to the original masters? Then you might be after a good compromise, meaning a video that can display decent quality while playing at its original frame size (say on the web).
    Does this mean that there is no real way to reduce the size without losing quality?
    If your target is the web there is a way to reduce the file size and still make it look decent enough. Re-compression means loss of source information but video compression is an art on its own and can produce some amazing results!
    Not without testing though.
    Now back to my previous post, use Compressor to try to reduce the file size and compare the result quality. Trust your eyes and be honest with yourself.

  • How can I reduce the file size when saving a psd as a pdf

    I have a psd with graphics and text, it is 8.5 x 11, 300 ppi
    I flatten the image and go to save as .pdf I un-check all of the options in general.
    In compression, I have tried a dozen different combinations and the way I've found to get a document that is not pixelated or blurry is to use jpeg 2000 > lossless or jpeg > maximum.
    So I have a high quality document but the file sizes are around 900 kb.
    I have downloaded other people's documents of the exact same type and size (8.5 x 11, 300 ppi) that I am making and viewed them in Photoshop, they are not pixelated or blurry and their file sizes are 300 kb or even less than 200 kb
    How are they doing this?!

    Delete all unused, invisible layers.
    Sometimes zip compression is better than jpg compression (in the pdf output settings). Zip is lossless, and works better with non gradient colour or no images.
    Flattening the image before you save it to pdf can reduce the file size if you are using jpg compression.
    Post a preview of your pdf and we can comment further on how to reduce the file size.

  • How can I keep the file size small when I render a .mov file to video in PS entended CS4?

    Hi,
    I haven't worked with video in Photoshop before and I am having the following issue:
    I imported a .mov file into photoshop. I trimmed the file by moving the start and finish points to the relevant points on the timeline. I then cropped the image to get rid of unwanted footage on the edge of the screen. I then selected export - render video. On the panel I chose to select only "currently selected frames" as the range and I chose "Quick Time Movie" as the file type. When I check the properties of my newly rendered movie the file size has increased by several times. The file sizes are now much too large.
    I know that I must need to alter some of the render settings but having tried altering many of the settings the result is always the same - a very large file size that is much bigger than my oringinal file.
    If anyone can let me know how I can carry out a simple crop & trim on a .mov file and end up with a smaller more compact file after rendering the video I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Marion,
    Thanks very much for your message. I have downloaded that program and it's definitely handy for examining the details of the original file. You mentioned in your message about not having to recode the file - The file I'm editing is originally from a Q3 Zoom video recorder and I can use their in-built software (handyware) to trim the file - this doesn't recode the file and so the file size just reduces by the required amount. Unfortunately there is no facility to crop the file with this software - I've looked for other software that would allow cropping without having to recode the file but I haven't found anything suitable for a simple procudure like this - do you know of any software that allows you to crop a file without recoding? Thanks.

  • How can I reduce the file size in Adobe Reader 9?

    My wordpress isn't allowing me to upload files larger than 2MB. How do I resize my PDF in Adobe Reader 9 so that it is <2MB?
    Thank you very much for the help!

    In Acrobat, open a PDF file.
    -Choose Document > Reduce File Size.
    -Select Acrobat 8.0 And Later for file compatibility, and click OK.
    When you choose the compatibility level, be aware that the newer the version of Acrobat that you choose, the smaller the file. If you choose compatibility with Acrobat 9, however, you should be sure that your intended audience does indeed have version 9 installed.
    Name the modified file. Click Save to complete the process.
    It is always a good idea to save a file using a different name so that you don't overwrite an unmodified file.
    Acrobat automatically optimizes your PDF file, a process that may take a minute or two. Any anomalies are displayed in the Conversion Warnings window. If necessary, click OK to close the window.
    Minimize the Acrobat window. View the size of the reduced file. The file size is smaller.
    You can repeat steps stated above using different compatibility settings to see how they affect file size. note that some settings might actually increase the file size.
    PDF Optimizer offers more opportunities to control quality trade-offs.
    Choose File > Close to close your file.

  • How can I find the file of my Apple Device shared project?

    I'm not sure if this a Final Cut Pro question or an iTunes question...
    I shared a project from Final Cut Pro to the Apple Devices (so that I could watch the video on my Apple TV).  I found the video in Home Movies in iTunes, and actually watched it successfully through Apple TV.
    But a day or two later, when I look for the video again in Home Movies in iTunes , I get this message: "The video [video title] could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    Yes I would.
    But I don't know where to look in Finder to find it?  Does anyone know where these video files actually go when we share them?  (Is this one of those cases where it's a hidden file, and I need to unhide them to see them?  If so, how do I do that?)

    The step by step process...
    When my project is ready to go,
    1. I select File>Share>Apple Devices 1080p
    2. That opens an Apple Devices 1080p pop-up window
    3. I use the default setting (which says it adding to playlist "Library"
    4. after a few minutes I receive a notification of "share successful)
    5. I open itunes, and can watch the newly shared video on my computer screen (my other videos are listed too, but if I try to watch them I get the message "The video [video name] could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?")
    6. I find the video on Apple TV by going to my computer, my library, Home Movies
    7. I watch the video on Apple TV (some of the old videos are listed, others aren't)
    8. Soon thereafter, I return to iTunes on my computer, and now, when I try to watch the newly-shared video, I get the same error message I documented above.
    9. I return to the Apple TV and now I get an error message when I try to watch the video
    This is iTunes 11.1.0.50
    and FCP 10.1.4
    Also, I'm editing videos with an external drive as my video source.  I don't know if that has anything to do with anything.
    Also, also, per your suggestion, I looked at the Library icon>Show Package Contents>Project Name>Shared Items but couldn't find any of the video files that disappeared.  But I did run a quick test to watch all my steps, and I COULD find the file of that latest video.  So now I  know where to look.  That said, I'm going to leave the latest test video there, and see if it disappears soon too.

  • How can I minimise the file size of a greyscale image ?

    Hi,
    What methods are there for making as small as possible the file size of a greyscale image. I need to keep the resolution at 200pixels per inch. The image is going to be big, 5835mm wide and 1780mm tall ! Some of them have some fine soft detail so I need to keep an eye on how that degrades. Others are better.
    Can the same work for colour images or are there different approaches for those ?
    Thanks
    Envirographics

    My need is to enlarge up a plan for placement in, then tracing over in a CAD program, retaining the fine detail prior to tracing. I have some at 1/10th the full size item at 200ppi, others still as digital slr raw files. I have found that less than 200ppi the detail starts to go. considering this, if I am now working full size item surely I would need 200ppi also ? I could try simply enlarging it up 'as is' but would imagine when I am zoomed in that the ability to work closer in would be lost as I would be seeing great big pixels. Certainly taking an image currently raw and making it 200ppi and 5800 wide would give me better detail retention.
    I had hoped for some suggestions on how to save at lesser colour or grey numbers than 256. Some scanning of large plans can for storage purposes use 17 colours for example. Do I need 256 shades of grey, can I save as 64 shades perhaps ? Certainly LZW is the right direction here, retaining detail but using compression. JPG compression starts to frogspawn the edges below quality 6, so losing detail again. What about png or gif, thats what I had hoped for. Does anyone know how to reduce colour palette numbers to 64 or 32 shades ?

  • How can I reduce the file size of my .cp project file?

    I am working in CP3 and creating training programs via computer simulations.  Generally I try to eliminate any unnecessary animation in my slide (use of scroll bars, drop down menus etc.) because these seemed to increase my file size.  I do have audio narration on almost every slide and I know that this helps to bump up my size.
    Here's what I found to be so odd.
    I have to create a new training module and I simply opened one of my .CP projects and did a SAVE AS with a new file name.  I reduced the number of slides from 25 to 3.  The three slides I kept are the title slide, closing slide and one slide that I'll call a content slide that has the color for my highlight boxes and text formatting.  (I keep the content slide so I can simply copy and paste the boxes as I need them.)  I removed all the audio.  Finally I saved the new project.  Imagine my surprise when the new file is 96,333 KB with only 3 slides, no audio and no animation.  This is almost the same size as the original file.  I published my 3-slide project, thinking it might change the size, but that was wishful thinking.
    I telelcommute from my home and I am required to check these files out of a secured document library each time I need to update them.  The upload time is KILLING ME!
    What am I doing wrong?  The Information section shows the file size as 783.9KB which seems more in line with what I would expect.
    Any help, as always is appreciated.

    Hi BIMB,
    Here's my guess, others can correct if I'm way off.
    What you see as the file size under the Cp4 Storyboard View Information is what the published file size would be sans any unused pics, audio, or swfs. So it should be relatively small given you only have 3 slides in your project.
    What you see as the 'save as' version reflects all of the pics, audio, and/or .swfs you still have in your project's library.
    Now if you've actually removed the audio files and pics from the Cp Library, then I'm not sure.
    Curious to know if this helps,
    Keith
