I am new to this so I am not sure what the file size is since I'm not resizing it.
The question asked about exported image size (height and width) in pixels, not file size. Your operating system can tell you, or if you import the exported image into Lightroom, then Lightroom can tell you in the Metadata Panel, set the dropdown to EXIF.
I am printing a 5x7. I know I have tried to print with long edge set at 1024 and set to 300 ppi and had the same result with the grainy ness.
If the exported file has a long edge of 1024, then you did resize the image, there no other way to turn a RAW in to a JPG with long edge 1024. In any event, 1024 pixels is probably not large enough to fill 7 inches, that's really 1024/7=146 pixels per inch (rounded-off), and could be the cause of the "graininess" that you see, although I would use the word "pixelization" to describe what you see. So I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, but let's go with it for now.
The solution depends on your answer to the original question, and probably depends on a clarification of how you got the image to 1024 on the long edge even though you claim you didn't resize it.

  • HOW TO CONVERT RAW FILES TO JPEG RGB 8 BIT in iphoto

    Can someone please tell me how to convert RAW files to jpeg RGB 8 bit in iphoto on an iMac?

    How are you trying to "export to Mypics"? The only way to get a Raw out of iPhoto is to export with the Kind set to Original.

  • How do you convert Raw files into jpeg.

      I have never shot in Raw before and I have a huge project due tomorrow. I need help Asap. What is the easiest way to convert Raw files into jpeg, can Light Room convert the files. I have tried so many different ways and nothing seems to work.

    It depends on the sofware you have.  ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) hosted by Bridge or by Photoshop can convert ("open") raw files, as can Lightroom.
    However, not all camera models are supported by all versions of the software.  We need to know the make and exact model of the camera that generated the raw files to advice you further.
    We can also assist you with the conversion through ACR hosted by Photoshop.
    Olease note that there are dedicated forums for Lightroom, for Adobe Camera Raw and for Bridge.
    Here's the list of which cameras are supported by each version of ACR.  Note that later versions supporte all camera models supported in previous versions of ACR.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    Note that the latest version of ACR to run in CS4 is ACR 5.3;
    CS3 runs ACR 4.6;
    CS2 runs ACR 3.7;
    CS runs 2.4.

  • Am I able to convert RAW files to jpegs on Photoshop Elements?

    Am I able to convert RAW files to jpegs on Photoshop Elements?

    Hi,
    Sorry, but with the information you have given, the only answer I can give is "possibly".
    Each camera model produces a slightly different raw format - even different models by the same manufacturer and even if they have the same extension (file type). The latest cameras will not be supported by older versions of Photoshop Elements although there is a converter which can help.
    To give you a better answer, we need to know
    1) The camera make and model
    2) The version of Photoshop Elements that you are using
    3) The operating system that you are running on.

  • Lightroom wont allow me to convert RAW file to JPEG

    Hi
    I have tried and failed to export a RAW file to JPEG. When i highlight the RAW images to export i get a message, "source file are offline or missing". Does anyone know what this means and how can i save RAW images to JPEG?

    I chose to move the images to a different file when they were exported to jpeg
    Do you mean "I chose to move the images to a different file  FOLDER when they BEFORE I TRIED to export to jpeg"?
    If so, this is an unnecessary step in Lightroom, that actually interferes with you using the photos in Lightroom. Best to not move the files any more using your operating system, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords, captions and other metadata to help you segregate and organize your photos.
    To fix this problem now, either use your operating system to move the photos back to their original location, or use this: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

  • Having a problem isolating RAW files from Jpegs into separate folders.

    I have understood it to be that all file (photo) organization in Elements should be done in the Organizer.  However, I took over 500 shots in RAW + Jpeg, so now I want to place the RAW files in a separate folder so I can make thumbnails from the Jpegs to allow the subjects to select which photos they want copies of.  I will then work on those RAW files.  However, Organizer lists the files in filename order, so manually selecting the CR2 files would be a pain in the butt.  Is there a way in Organizer to sort by size or sort by file extension ... anything other than filename?  Can files be directed to individual folders when first downloaded?  If I sort the files in Windows Explorer and move them, does that mess up the cataloging in Organizer?

    Big-Al-Photoman wrote:
    A --- "Find > by Filename" ?  That is the default, and already shows in this sequence.  Filename creates a sequence of CR2, Jpeg, XMP, CR2, Jpeg, XMP, CR2, Jpeg, XPM, etc. etc. 
    Clearly, you haven't understood properly. It is not a default. I am referring to a menu option. You go to the Find menu in the PSE organizer, then select "by Filename" and then type in CR2 and press ENTER.
    B --- again, not sure if Adobe just didn't understand the question or I am too dense to understand the answer.  I am going to reduce the size of the Jpeg files so I can upload them to an online gallery so the clients can view the shots taken.  I am obviously not going to upload the RAW files or the XPM (I assume the thumbnail created to allow the RAW file to be displayed in the viewfinder or on screen.)  I don't want to reduce the size of the originals (obviously), so I can use the "Process Multiple Files" in Elements to copy the Jpegs and make smaller copies for upload.  I DO NOT want to have to hold the CTRL key down while I select 250 individual Jpeg files manually since that is the ONLY option in the sort sequence they appear in currently.  If Adobe provided the ability to sort the files in a folder "by size" or "by extension", then I could easily deal with only the Jpegs, but in their infinite wisdom, Adobe neglected to include the ability to handle files by this logical method.  So my only option appears to be to create a new folder and put the CR2 (and XPM) files in the new folder until I am ready to post-process the files chosen by my client.
    Obviously, you didn't understand. If you want to reduce the size of your JPGs and then upload, you select the JPGs by Find > by Filename, so then yout have all the JPGs found; and then Ctrl-A to select them all, and then create the reduced size photos via File->Export->As New File. (Of course, you can also do this to the RAWs as well, resulting in a reduced size JPG -- and then you don't even need the original JPGs)
    The point of my inquiry was to find out if Adobe DID provide a way to dealing with a large number of files in a logical and efficient manner, and the response above doesn't really tell me that they did. My assumption from the above response is that Adobe did NOT provide an efficient method of isolating files by type or size.
    The efficient way of doing this has been explained, and does exist in PSE.
    Or am I just too dense to understand an easy, quick solution to dealing with ONLY the Jpegs, resizing them for quick and view-only upload to a gallery, and retaining the integrity of the Elements organizer.???????

  • Converting RAW files to JPEG on import?

    Is this possible?
    I normally shoot RAW, but I've got about 100 shots on my card which I just need JPEGs for. I was just wondering if it was possible to convert them on import rather than import as RAW then convert to JPEG...?

    Instead of using Aperture's import feature, go into the Finder and navigate to the folder on your memory card containing the images. Select only the JPGs (the low-res JPGs which your camera automatically creates with each RAW file) and drag them to the project in Aperture. If you have a lot of images and selecting them one by one is a hassle, you can either create an Automator action to select the JPGs, or you can drag all the images including RAW files to Aperture, and then sort by file size to separate the JPGs from the RAWs, and then select/delete the RAW images.
    Hope this helps.

  • Converting RAW files to JPEG

    Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help. I have taken around 32 GB of RAW images on my SD card (no jpegs) - I am currently in Nepal so limited access to computer facilities. Is there a quick way to convert all these files to jpeg?

    OK. You are going to need access to a computer and the CD that came with the camera. Or the internet if you don't have the CD. Excuse me if I am going too basic, but I don't know your level of experience.
    The process can be very easy on your part if all you want to do is convert to JPEG; i.e. no editing.
    The camera comes with software called Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP). Install it from the CD. If you don't have the CD you can download the CD image from:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_re...
    Choose the appropriate operating system. Don't download DPP, download the EOS Solution disk.
    You need to download the RAW files into a folder on your computer. Start DPP, select the folder the RAW files are in and choose "Select All"
    Choose "Batch Process", select JPEG and click "Execute". Now go for a coffee; it will take the computer a long time to process 1000 images.
    Since it seems like you are new this you might want to choose JPEG rather than RAW in your camera.
    If this isn't clear respond back.

  • IPhoto converts RAW files to JPEG when exporting - why?

    When I click and drag a RAW photo out of iPhoto it converts it to JPEG no matter where I send it. How do I keep it in its original RAW format so I can edit it in Photoshop? I have iPhoto 8.1.1.9(419) and OSS 10.6.2. The RAW photo file was captured using a Canon 7D.

    Some more info for using Photoshop with iPhoto (applies primarily for editing jpgs and not RAW files)
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

  • How to convert RAW files to JPEG?

    I have a bunch of raw files and I am not sure how to convert them to JPEG.  I sure would appreciate some help with this.  Thank you

    As you are posting on the Canon forum, I will assume you are using a Canon camera.  Your camera came with the software you need.  It's called Digital Photo Professional.  It will also have the user manual for the software.

  • Airdropis converting raw files to jpegs when I transfer them to my iMac at home. how do i keep the raw format across the drop?

    As Above the raw files convert to jpegs and I need to keep the raw format any ideas anyone?

    Converting to DNG could happen if you were dragging and dropping images from a Finder/Explorer folder into the LR thumbnails grid, which would initiate an Import operation, where you also have Copy as DNG set as your Import method.  I would expect you’d see the Import panel open every time you did this, so it’d be obvious what was occurring.  Dragging and dropping new images into LR this way is my standard method of Import.
    One might guess conversion to DNG could occur if you drag and drop from within LR to a folder outside of LR in Finder/Explorer so an Export operation is initiated; however, on Windows, at least, this does not occur.  Sometime does occur, though, because when I tried this to make sure it didn’t work, I had LR on top, then an Explorer folder beside it and my Outlook e-mail program behind the folder.  When I dragged-and-dropped the thumbnail into Explorer, I got a circle-slash cursor indicating it was a prohibited operation, but then when I switched over to Outlook to write this reply, the cursor was jumping from where it was at the top of the reply to down further in the reply area, and I had to close LR to get this to stop, so LR or the OS is doing something when dragging and dropping a LR thumbnail to outside of LR.  It’s possible that on a Mac different things occur.
    In any case, when you move things in LR, you should be dragging and dropping thumbnails in LR to another folder in the LR folder structure, all within LR, and by default this generates a warning message box that says things cannot be undone if you do this, although there is a Don’t Show This Again checkbox.  You might want to click the Reset all Warning Dialogs button in LR Preferences, so you’ll see any message boxes like this again.

  • How do I export my library of Raw files to jpegs for use in a windows system?

    So we just returned from vacation in Belize and I have over 1300 raw images in an aperture library.  I need to export all of these images in jpeg format, onto a flash drive, so my wife can easily view them on her windows machine.  How can I do this?

    File -> Export and select an Export Preset (or create one for your preferred spec) and export to a folder on the desktop.

  • Is it possible to convert inDesign files to jpeg (for web) without fonts breaking up?

    We want to include some of our layouts as case studies on our website. The idea is that a preview image will, on rollover, produce a larger version of the image/layout as part of a case study - full size image dimensions from, say, 400px x 300px. However, using the export command (CS3) produces poor quality text even at 'Maximum' at 300ppi - to say nothing of the unacceptable file size! Site to be constructed in Flash. Any ideas?? Thanks. Alex

    My apologies if I sounded harsh. I didn't mean to be.
    I just wish the world would recognize that there is no such thing as "screen resolution" or "web resolution" in the sense that 72 ppi is an "appropriate" number. When you "save for the web" in Photoshop you are doing any number of things, including downsampling to reduce the number of pixels in the image, and adding compression to make the files smaller still so they will load faster, both of which can make your image useless for print purposes.
    That the default might be to save at 72 ppi is irrelevant -- it's just a convenient number. If you open your freshly saved image in Photoshop and go to the Image Size dialog, uncheck "resample image" and change the resolution, you'll see that the file size and pixel counts remain unchanged (along with the screen dispaly in Photoshop), because the image data is unchanged. All you have done is say "If you choose to print this image at 100% size, it should be x units wide and y units tall, and should have (whatever the the value you used) pixels per unit." You can freely scale this, if you wish, knowing the "effective" resolution varies in reverse proportion to the scaling factor.
    If you put this image on the web, it will have whatever pixels were saved, regardless of how large or small (in print) those pixels would be rendered.

  • When I start iphoto08 all the photos are black.I only can see the comment to the Picture.

    When I start iphoto08 I only see black events and no pictures.I can see my comments.Who can help

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
