How do I keep the original size when exporting?

I have people sending me photos to edit. I work a little in photoshop cs4 and then back in lightroom 3, but when I go to send them the photos back ,they are HUGE! How can I send them the same size file they sent me? (the ones I am currently working on are tiff. files.)

If you are editing tif files, then you have only a couple of choices.
Flatten the image before you save it. This will reduce it down to one layer. That's the smallest you can get.
When you first open the image, look to see if it's 8 bit or 16 bit tif. It won't help you, but if the image is 8 bit, and you save it as 16 bit, you will have dramatically increased the size of the file for nothing. If it's started as 16, no worries!
check if you are saving with compression. Tif compression is lossless, so unless you did something like resize+resample, it remains the same bit density, etc, so should be just as printable as what they sent you (unless you messed up!).
Cheers!

Exported video size smaller than original video size. How do I keep the original size?

I exporting a video from Adobe Premiere CS6 today, and I noticed the video was about 1/2 times smaller than the original video I put in. I then uploaded the video on YouTube, and the size was still the same. I tried to change the preset to 1080p 29.97, 1080p 25, etc. and the same with 720p, and 480p, but the size only changed slightly.

How do I keep the date/time when exporting photos?

When exporting photos from Photos.app on my Mac, it doesn't use the metadata that it displays in Photos--it uses the current date/time. So when I export a photo from 2010, it says it's dated 2015 when I import it into Aperture.
Is there a way to export an image with its original timestamp? Is this a bug? Thanks.

I am exporting a Pages document to Epub and Pages is compressing my jpg images. How do I keep the original jpg size during the export to epub process?

I am exporting a Pages document to Epub and Pages is compressing my jpg images (I think to 72 dpi from original 600 dpi).
How do I keep the original jpg size during the export to epub process?

We are still trying learn how to use Pages to build ePub documents with high resolution graphics that will expand clearly when they are tapped. Very large screen shots are my example here.

Any image can only be as large as the Original. With a program like Photoshop you can UpRes an image and get it to a bigger size, larger files size as well, but the actual quality of the image will be degraded, depending on the UpRes system and the original quality of the image.
iPhoto is not the program to be doing that in and I don't think it even has that option.
So I suspect the image you are trying to send isn't much bigger than what you are getting. You can also try Exporting it from iPhoto to yopur desktop and see what size you end up with. If it is still that 209KB +/- file size then that is the size of the original image.

Hello. How do I keep the actual size of a photo when adding to a Keepsake? Used to do this but have forgotten how!

Here is my suggestion:
Open a blank, new file (File>new>blank file) size 8.5x11"
Open the collage
Go to Select>all
Go to Edit>copy
Go back to the blank file created in step #1
Go to Edit>paste. The collage will be on its own layer
Access the move tool, and with the corner handles resize the collage. Using the corner handles should preserve the aspect ratio. If you open the rulers, you will have a point of reference as you go along.
Print a draft copy to see if it will be suitable in the frame..
Please report back with your progress.

How do I keep the original pre-RAW preview exposure ?

IF I understand it when I imort a RAW "NEF file from my Nikon, LIghtroom shows a preview that is a jpeg exposre, something equivalent to a point and shoot photo. Then after processing the info from the RAW file, it shows the unprocessed image. Typically, this image for me becomes unsaturated and less colorful. Although I want to process "some" of my photos, I like some of the point and shoot images, and I'm wondering how do you keep the original exposiure that LIghtroom shows before showing the RAW unprocessed image?
When I'm taking photos just to archive a thing, I like the advanced point and shoot saturated image. When I want to be artistic, I prefer to process them myself. Is there a setting that will allow me to keep the preview look?

Aside from what Lee Jay said (which is technically accurate) the best thing you can do is to learn how to quickly make image adjustments and if you find you are making the same adjustments all the time, create a preset or consider making a new Default tone/color adjustment for your images. The fact is that the EFIX JPEG is the camera maker's interpretation of the raw image. It's neither accurate nor sacrosanct. It's simply a different rendering of your raw data. You can look at using different DNG profiles (in the Camera Calibrate panel) to alter the color rendering and adjust your tone controls to taste and make a preset or a new Default.
But in answer to your main question can you use those JPEG previews as a basis for LR, no other than you make the manual adjustments yourself...

How do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager?

how do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager? and keep the events in the same order with blank events also

Not sure you can.
Library Manager creates an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

How to reserve the page size when exporting to MS Excel 2010

Hello. I have a report which exports to MS Excel 2010. I applied the page size as legal in Crystal Report and would like to use the same page size in Excel
However, MS Excel print preview says the page size is letter.
How could I keep the same page size in Excel as I applied in Crystal Report. We have a lot of business reports and would like to avoid applying page setting manually in Excel when users print them out each time.
Thank you.

Hi Christine
I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
Can you please let me know the version of CR you are using?
You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

Acrobat 5.0 How do I keep the original file name after I have converted a Word doc to PDF?

MY colleague has a certain setting in Acrobat that allows him to keep the original file name when he converts documents from Word to PDF. Every time I convert Word, Acrobat overwrites the filename and names it "untitled.pdf". I would like to retain the original name and for Acrobat to simply add the .pdf file extension to the original name. How do I do this?

I have no idea what you are doing for sure. Does your WORD document have a name. I opened a WORD document and selected the Acrobat Distiller printer for AA5, I got the file menu for selecting the name and it was automatically filled in with the DOC changed to PDF. If you are using PDF Maker, then you will need to search there - I removed PDF Maker for AA5 years ago and can't view that part. I see the same types of options in PDF Maker for AA8.1.2 as I saw in the printer for AA5 and guess it is the same. The untitled.pdf suggests that you never saved the original DOC file so it has a name.

After receiving an e-mail and forwarding it on everything ends up in Sent including the one I received. How do I keep the original in my Inbox?

Some mail disappears from my inbox and I have discovered that if I have to answer or forward the original e-mail it disappears permanently and the original and the reply/forward e-mail all end up in my Sent box - which is emptied each month at the moment. Any ideas how to keep the original in my Inbox? Has only happened since updating to maverick.

How can I increase the thumbnail size when using Safari to upload an image to a website?

I upload many images to multiple websites and when using Safari to upload these images, the thumbnails are so small I can barely make out what the image is. I can easily figure out how to increase the thumbnail size when viewing them in Finder and set the default to my liking, but I cannot seem to find a way to do this in Safari. The last topic I saw on this was form 2013 and have not seen any update. Is there a way to do 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.
