Jpeg export- why do some become tiff-Mb files
Took 10 pictures in RAW. Minor editing in Aperture 3. Uploaded to Sam's Photo for 4x6 prints. 8 went as jpeg (small file), but 2 went a tiff (25mg). These 2 took a long time to upload. What did I do wrong and how can I prevent this tiff (large files) in the future?
I do move some photos to OnOne or PS (for editing), then back to Aperture. In Aperture I would select-all (click) the photos I wanted to send to Sam's for printing then drag the selected items (all at the same time) onto the Sam's web site for processing/priniting. Another thought - on occassion I would have to switch-out flash-cards during shooting.
Ah there you go both pieces of the puzzle solved.
You're getting the Tiff files in Aperture from the use of the external editor. In the Aperture->Preferences->Export window is the settings for what file type to use with an external editor I'm sure your setting is Tiff.
And then by dragging the file out of Aperture rather then exporting it you are getting the Tiff.
IMPORTANT Point:
By dragging the files out of Aperture you are not really exporting them you are getting the Aperture generated preview (or in the case of the Tiff files the original). The settings in the Export window have NO effect on the image when you drag it out. In all likelihood you are not getting the size and/or resolution you think you are.
You should be exporting the versions by using the Export Versions button in the Export window. Once the versions are exported to a folder on your disk you can then drag those to the print web site. This will ensure you are getting the image size and resolution you want.

Hello guys,
we have developed a JPEG Export Plugin for InDesign server that worked fine for several years now, never having any problems. Now a strange issue occur and I need some help. When exporting an preview image of one page (containing textframes with text and tables) the preview image is correct if the dpi is smaller than 72 dpi (100% in our application). But when the dpi is equal or greater than 72 the text appears correctly on the image but the tables are missing. This problem occurs on CS4 but not on CS5 server, but there is no difference between the plugin implementation (beside the changes that were obligatory for porting the plugin to CS5). Maybe this is a known issue or someone has solution for it?
Here is the difference between the exported images (smaller than 72 dpi and greater or equal 72 dpi):I do move some photos to OnOne or PS (for editing), then back to Aperture. In Aperture I would select-all (click) the photos I wanted to send to Sam's for printing then drag the selected items (all at the same time) onto the Sam's web site for processing/priniting. Another thought - on occassion I would have to switch-out flash-cards during shooting.
Ah there you go both pieces of the puzzle solved.
You're getting the Tiff files in Aperture from the use of the external editor. In the Aperture->Preferences->Export window is the settings for what file type to use with an external editor I'm sure your setting is Tiff.

Why are some of my old files on my mac after I do a complete restore?
Whenever I get a new Mac or I restore my old one some of my old files such as music photos and movies are on my new one. I think it is auto saving some of my email attachments. It seems a lot of the images where ones that I took or veiwed with my Ipod/iPhone. Is there anyway to stop this?
If i deauthorize this PC can i reauthorize it after i do a complete restore thus saving that precious last authorization in case of an emergency?
Yes.
Note that if and when you reach the maximum of five authorizations, you can (once per year) deauthorize all the systems. There will be at that time a button in your iTunes Store account information for performing that deauthorization. You could then authorize those systems you're using.
if i create a new i tunes account can i play the songs currently on my ipod and those purchased with the old account?
If you mean a new iTunes Store account, that account authorization would only be valid for content purchase through that account. It will have no effect on authorizations from your current iTunes Store account.

Fickle Jpeg images; why will some not open?
This is a strange experience which remains unresolved. I have received reports that some of my jpeg images, usually derived from tiffs or raw files, cannot be opened when delivered. Many of my tiffs start life as original film scans, whereas the remainder are generally derived from a variety of digital cameras. Yet the same images open perfectly well in PS CS2 during final examination.
I am beginning to suspect that the culprit is Lightroom (V1.2 & V1.3). Why? Well it appears to occur only when some images are imported into LR for processing and then exported for final checks in CS2 before uploading or delivery by CD. I am still trying to diagnose the cause and find a remedy because it is wasting a lot of time with repeat processing. Meanwhile I wonder if any member has experienced jpegs behaving unpredictably after using Lightroom?
DavidAcross the top are the thumbnail photos. At the bottom is the menu bar with Info, Compare, Rotate, Crop etc. The photo is in the centre of the screen and is approximately 4 inches by 6 inches in size. The rest of the screen is black. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Why are some of my midi files not playing?
This baffles me, out of a thousand or two midi files I have, about 20% will display an "Mac OS error 208" message saying "this movie could not be opened".
Now, this is neither a movie file, nor a file there should be any problem in opening, since it WILL open, like all other ones, when used inside any music editing programs I have!
Any idea what is up with this seemingly arbitrary & pointless obstacle?Yeah, iTunes can play them and they have burned to disc but when I play the disc doesn't play all the tracks.
When I open the disc the tracks that won't play have the VLC icon beside them, I thought I may need to convert these in some way.
In addition, when I open up the iTunes Music Library folder on my C Drive the files have VLC icons too.
I'm completely stumped?!?! -

Why are my files exporting so small? (15 mb RAW files exporting to 2 mb JPEG)
I'm trying to export RAW files into JPEG for a client and haven't experienced this issue before. I shot on large format RAW and original files are around 15 mb. When I export them in lightroom they end up around 2 mb. I know that I can still print large files from this but I'm worried that my (wedding) clients will see the file size and worry about enlarging prints, etc. Is there a way to export them so they are larger? I'm currently exporting at 100%. Help please!

File size really doesn't provide useful information. And since JPG is compression, I see nothing unusual about a 15mb original RAW exported as 2mb JPG. If you are worried about file size, then you are not looking at the right numbers.
You need to look at number of pixels in the original image, and number of pixels in the exported file. Anything else will lead you in the wrong direction. -
Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor
Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

I keep a small copy of the above table taped to my monitor. I chose the numbers under the 'LR' column for the 12 steps (not AA's) to make it easier to remember. In actuality ANY number in the LR Range column will produce the same results for each step.
Under the 'Typical Reduction' column notice the small amount of reduction for PS 6 (LR 47-53%) Quality setting. If interested why AND why you probably shouldn't use PS 7 (LR 54-61%) Quality setting see this post:

Aperture Photo JPEG Export Size
I have a question regarding the file sizes of photos exported from Aperture. When exported the photos seem to be almost double the file size of the original photo imported to aperture and the size shown in Aperture. For example, I have a photo that is 2736x3648 sized at 3.51MB in Aperture. I export with JPEG set to original size, JPEG quality is set to 12. The resulting file size exported is 7.1MB. The resolution of the exported photo is also 2736x3648 so I don't think it's a DPI issue. I've done some experimentation with the JPEG quality and the results are still strange. 10 gives me a 2.2MB file, 11 gives me a 2.6MB file and 12 as mentioned previously is 7.1MB. Seems like a huge jump so I suspect I'm missing something. The other sizes being smaller than the original also seems strange.
I've looked at the exported photos at 10,11&12 and can clearly see the detail lost. The darker parts get darker and drop the detail in the photo. I'm very reluctant to lose quality so ideally would go with 12.
I know there are a few questions like this on here already but none of them seem to have a good answer. Just wondering if anyone has figured it out?
Thanks in advance.Terence, you've helped me on a lot of things, so I guess I am going to further ask for clarification....
I have recently been trying to use Aperture solely (and pretty much abandon iPhoto.). But, when I say export a file to jpeg (whether it is currently a RAW or JPEG file, I am concerned about my settings-- by default, the setting "export jpeg in original size" has settings as 72 dpi. I have changed that to 300dpi. Is this why I have 15-20MB files? Is this the correct setting? I don't want any printer to have a false representation of how much data is there. Nor do I want to lose any data either.
I could theoretically take any photo and probably even say 4500dpi, and the file would be exaggerated that much more. I go to print, and the print center sees there is plenty of resolution there, but in reality, there is no more data there than the extent to which the file provided. You can't create resolution that is going to improve on what your camera or the minor adjustments you do to it to improve it. I say export it at whatever maximum dpi it has or multiply that dpi by 100, and no matter what, the image is going to print the same no matter how much data (or how large the box is).
Also, if I open my library in iPhoto and tell it to export the photo at original size, the file is smaller than the file exported via Aperture (thus my concern I am providing more detail than what is really there) and providing an exagerrated resolution. Your help is greatly appreciated. I am providing a disk to someone, and this is affecting whether I give them one or two disks due to the file sizes. (And, of course, as is, the file sizes are harder to work with if you want to email. So, if they don't have an email program that auto-condenses, they may be frustrated not having smaller files if they choose to email any.)
Thanks in advance! -
Hi there I have a problem I hope someone can help me with.
Im running INDesign Server and producing jpegs and pdfs through the soap interface.
With some images when they are imported into the IDD template and exported out again as JPEGs they seem to lose the middle of the image. It like somebody has cut half the image out with a pair of scissors.When exported as PDF there is no problem. I was wondering if anybody has experienced this problem and can offer tips.
I don't understand why some JPGs have the problem but others dont.Hiya- I am having this problem as well, when .idd is exported as .pdf some (not all) of the images are missing pieces, exactly like they were cut with a scissors. I see you didn't get a reply so i don't hold out too much hope of receiving help. I was hoping if you have figured it out then you could pass on the info here to me- thanks so much

Aperture 3 messes histogram when exporting to either PSD or TIFF
Hi all,
I wanted to ask a question regarding how Aperture 3 handles the PSD/TIFF files. I've noticed that when i export a RAW file to Photoshop or to any other plugin (Noise Ninja for this instance) and Aperture prepares the file (i.e. makes a TIFF/PSD copy of the RAW file) it messes my histogram. As a consequence in a specific case i am working on now, it brightens up the shadows and lowers contrast.
Anyone knows why this happens? Is there any way i can stop this from happening?
Thanks in advanceP.S: Setting the Black point to the default Aperture value (3) on the TIFF/PSD file generated, results in a very similar result with the RAW file. Could it be the case that during the file conversion, aperture ignores some Exposure settings?
