Image size of imported file

Question: I resize a jpeg image in Photoshop and save it at its new size. I import the newly resized image into Flash. When I check it's properties, in Flash, it shows the new size L x W but also shows the original size and compression information. When I place the image on the stage it reverts to the original size and as I change its size it creates wavy lines in some of the image detail. Does anyone have a solution for me? I've tried resizing in different formats, resizing and then slightly cropping the edges, resizing and saving for the web. None have worked. To see the result check the upper left corner brick and lower left corner roof in the page:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you alter (reduce) an image's size in Flash it can display the wavy lines. What you might try to overcome that is to right click the image in the library, select Properties, and in the image properties panel select the option to allow smoothing.
As far as what is going on with Phtoshop not creating the images to the dimensions you specify, you may need to check the manual. I have never had a problem, though I never really used Photoshop much. Try using Fireworks if you have it and see how it fairs.

How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
"Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
right size for a thumbnail.
If you do a search for the image name, both the
actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
the same image, e.g. abc.jpg

Still image size when importing to Premiere Pro CS3

I was wondering if someone could help me. I do a lot of Still Image Slide shows with music and all that jazz and I used to use Premiere 6.5. When I would import the still images I could just lock the aspect ratio and it would automatically size the picture to fit the screen. I recently upgraded to CS3 and when I try to import a photo it imports it at actual image size so if the pic to too big it just looks zoomed in. I'm wonder if there is a setting in I can adjust so it autosizes the pic like it did in version 6.5? It may sound lazy but I do these with a lot of picture and I don't have time to adjust the size of each photo in Photoshop prior to import.
I have figured out a temporary workaround where I import the files into 6.5 and then open the existing project in CS3 but my new computer runs Vista and it's not allowing me to install 6.5 on it. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I copied this from the help.

Stage size versus imported file size

I am new to the flash universe ... I am running Flash CS3 Pro on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
Why is the stage size larger or file size always smaller when I import a file into Flash.
I create a new project (Action Script 3.0), change the Stage size to 125 px x 162 px. Then import jpg images at that same pixel size, but they never fill the entire stage.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Tiny image size when opening files

When I open a file in CC2014 on my iMac it opens in a new window (I turned off opening in tabs) with an incredibly small file size. The image size is fine, but the view is 0.05% of the original. I'm sure I clicked on something to make this frustrating situation occur, but have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?

Just figured it out - I had made the photoshop screen where the controls are located small to get it out of the way a little and when I opened the files it made them as small as possible to 'fit' in the window I shrunk. I opened it back to full size and the images open fine. I'm an idiot. Sorry to waste your time ssprengel

How set image size open raw file?

How to set image size/resolution when opening a raw file in pse 11 editor??
win 7 pro; pse 11 settings: edit>preferences>print resolution = 337.596, screen resolution 109 dpi( 27 inch, dell U 2711). Originally print resoltuion was set to 240 dpi but was changed in case this was causeing a problem. CRAW v 7.4.0.137
Camera alpha 65, image size is: 6000x3376 dpi; (83.33x46.88 inch)
Problem is: Currently when I edit a RAW file in CRAW and then open in pse editor image size is: 6000x3376 px; 25x14.667 inches at 240 dpi ( by ration this corresponds to:17.773x10 inch at 337.6 dpi)
I am trying to change settings so the raw file opens as: 17.776x10 and anywhere from240 to 337.6 dpi
whatever works or is esiest to set.
My settings are for use in creating blue ray dvd movies and with cropping and editing printing high quality pictures for family.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

That's a Sony Alpha SLT-A65?
Are those pixel dimensions of 6000 x 3376 the size the camera raw files came out of the camera?
You can't really change the resolution that the photoshop elements version of camera raw opens the the files into the pse 11 at.
(i think 240 is the default for most cameras)
You can however set the resolution with Image>Resize>Image Size if you need to for printing or other uses.
In the Image size dialog uncheck Resample Image and enter the resolution.

Image size on new files

I've recently purchased a new machine with windows vista and loaded on CS3 photoshop (which is new to me).
My problem is when I open a new file it's huge.
I set the size to a simple A4 and resolution 150 pixels/inch but the image size is 3.24M before I even start. I've done various tests by bringing in old images I created and they do come in at original size, it's just new files. I've gone through all the settings and everything looks normal.
I'm really stuck with this one.

Until you save there is no file size. The scratch file size used by Photoshop is not directly controllable. It includes history items, layers, etc., in addition to image data. The image data for an image that is, for example, 1000px x 1500px (i.e., ~1.5 megapixel), will be about 4.5 MB uncompressed in RGB 8 bit per channel (i.e., 24 bit) format. The same image, in an uncompressed RGB 16 bit per channel (48 bit) format, will take up about 9 MB. This is the full image data as used within Photoshop, and determines the size reflected in the Info screen (after being modified to account for history, layers, masks, etc.). When you save the file, it will likely be much smaller, unless you intentionally choose an uncompressed TIFF format. A compressed TIFF file will save considerable space if it's an 8-bit image. GIF (which allows only 256 distinct colors) is an appropriate format for very small images (such as thumbnails) and text/line art, and saves a huge amount of space. JPEG is used for the final version of photographic images, and it saves considerable space over the original due to compression, but its compression is lossy, PNG has the potential to trump many of these formats, because it can accommodate 16-bit images, allows for transparency, and it is lossless, but it is not fully compatible with some existing web browsers (i.e., IE6).

Image size for import?

Does iBook Author resize images you drag and drop? Or should I resize before?
Thanks.

Hallo,
I had the same question, so I just made some experiments.
What I found out is, if you are exporting your book as a ibook file (extension .ibooks), iBooks author will automatically compress your jpgs to a much smaller size, I suppose about 1024 x 768, even if the jpgs I included have been about 4800x3200, 9,2MB original size.
I checked this with another file where I used the same but small jpgs (1024x768). Both .ibooks file had the same size.
If you save your book with "save as" or "save" as an .iba file, the jpgs stay in their original size.
So the book using full size jpgs came out for example with 80 MB, the one with the small jpegs with 3.2 MB.
This means iBook author is resizing your images when you export to an *.ibook file, and keeps the size of the jpgs when you just save.

Lightroom import crops image size on import?

Can anyone more knowledgable than I explain this - and better yet tell me how
to stop it!
Canon 40d image sensor has a sensor size of 3888 * 2592 importing into Canons software retains this ratio.
Import to LR2 and convert to DNG and my size suddenly reduces to 3678 * 2592
If I have both programs open side by side I can see the missing data - on a landscape image it has sliced a chunk off both ends.
Now call me picky - but I consider I am the best person to crop my images.
It also causes me to have issues when printing - I have to alter the crop size about to get it to print to a size which should have had no issues.
I cannot see anything in the preferences, so I am now at a loss.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks both, and I need to come clean. It appears that it was a batch of images which were exported out to Photoshop and reimported back. I had the filters set so the originals were 'missing'.
Only excuse is that I am still a novice - and only a few hours sleep due to a young daughter with Chicken Pox

What is the best image size to import to Elements 7 for use in HD 1920 x 1080 video being output to BluRay?

Steve's book (love it!) suggests something like 1000 x 750 which seems too small for HD. It would seem that 1920 x 1080 would not require any scaling or adjustment for use in a HD wide screen BluRay project.

The 1000x750 size is based on SD Project and Assets. In your case, you'd want 1920x1080, if that is your output Frame Size. If you will need to pan on any images that are fully zoomed out, you should calculate the amout of pan that you need, and then resize to that, keeping the Frame Sizes as close as you can to your Project.
Good luck,
Hunt

Feather radius for selection depending on the image size

Greetings everyone,
I have a question about setting the feather radius for a selection depending on the image size. I'd like make the edge in the resultant layer mask have roughly the 'same' feather appearance for varying image sizes.
For files below 2000 pixels I would set a feather radius of 0.2
For files above 2000 pixels I would set a feather radius of 0.3
However, I started working with 4000-10000 pixel images and I was wondering about the radius for those images.
Is there a more 'scientific' method I could follow? Any thoughts welcome
Many thanks
gr

You would need to use Photoshop scripting to do that. Also using number of Pixels might not be what you want to use. While number pixel is an absolute number pixels you have have no size information till there is a DPI resolution involved. At 300 DPI 300 pixels are 1" in size at 72 DPI 300 pixels are 4.16 inches in size.
A conditional action is not possible adobe conditional action support but is possible with the downloadable script Siva's Contitional Action

How to view file size of imported photo

i plan to import a number of large photos from iphoto. i hesitate because each photo is between 20 and 50 MB. Will iweb scale this file down while importing? How can i find out about it? I did not find file information on the imported photo nor do i know the file location of the website project on my mac harddisk.
Do I have to use third party software like Photoshop to scale the size down and afterwards import them into iphoto and iweb?
Thank You,
Harpo

I think you should DEFINITELY scale your images down before importing them or dragging and dropping them into iWeb! If your images are in iPhoto, then you can use the "Export" command in iPhoto to export your images and specify what resolution they should be scaled to.
One of the issues I have with the iPhoto export function is that you have no control over the amount of JPG compression in the exported photos, which has a direct relationship to the resulting file size. So I like to use a program called "Downsize" http://www.stuntsoftware.com/Downsize/ which will allow you to specify maximum image dimensions as well as JPG compression. You will also then be able to check how large the resulting files are in the Finder before using them in iWeb.
Whenever you are scaling photos for use in iWeb, it's important to realize that any additional changes that you make to the photos in iWeb will cause the image to be converted from jpg to png. This may impinge on your ability to control the filesizes directly. The way to get around this is to scale your photos to exactly the size you want and then after dragging them into iWeb, click on the "Use original size" button in the Inspector Metrics tab. Also, don't apply any other effects to your images like rotation, frames, drop shadows... If you want these, you should do these in external applications as well. These are my recommendations only if you want to have complete control over your filesizes. It's certainly not required.
But as far as your 50mb images go, definitely scale them down before bringing them into iWeb. Otherwise, iWeb will rescale the images for you, but it will ALSO throw a copy of your 50mb file into your Domain file to refer to in publishing. This would cause your Domain file to balloon in size quite rapidly. To put things into perspective for you on this, the Domain file for my entire site is only 80mb.

Photo files size when importing from camera, uploading to facebook

When I import photos from my camera to iPhoto, then upload them to facebook, they are not the original size. This is my first mac and first time to use iPhoto so maybe that's normal. Is there a setting I need to change? How do I know if the files I have imported are being saved on my computer with their original specs? I am hesitant to clear the pics from my camera, fearing I might lose their original quality!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
As for facebook, when using my old pc the photos remained the original size after uploading. It wasn't until I used iPhoto that they began to upload in a smaller version.
Are you referring to file size as in KB or MB or image size as in pixel dimension. As Terence pointed out I doubt if Facebook will accept a full image files at the original size. Most are in the MB range and Facebook would run out of storage space in no time.
It might very well be that iPhoto will resize the pixel dimension of the photos to a "standard" size for uploading and Facebook then downsizes the actual file size. That means compressing the file to make a smaller file but not a smaller image.

Organize files by folder size in import

When importing files LR wil ask if I want to organize photos by date.
I'd like to be able to automatically create folders based on total size of files in the folder. The size could be specified at the import time. When the total size reaches the max size specified (i.e.: 4.5GB) LR would create a new folder. This way the files are ready for backup to DVD and I could empty the folders when I'm done working with the images.
The advantage of this approach is that each folder ends up on one DVD and after deleting the local files I can point LR to a DVD where the files are located.

Use code such as:
tell application "Finder"
set the_folder to (choose folder)
repeat with this_file from 1 to (count (get files of the_folder))
set name of file this_file of the_folder to (name of the_folder) & " " & this_file
end repeat
end tell
replacing the last this_file on the fourth line with the variable which contains the number.
