Jpeg file sizes changed
This stumps me. I am using Lightroom 3.3 to import my CR2 files to make my selections and convert to jpegs which I then open in CS5 for basic editing and resizing/crop before I send them to the newspaper I freelance for. Until now I have had no problems, the jpegs were were 2 to 3 meg files and were easily resized to 12 x 8 @ 200dpi for publication. SUDDENLY, my jpeg imports are only about 700KB and cannot be cropped or resized without extreme pixilization. Something got changed and I don't know what. I checked the camera settings and they are fine. I set the jpeg size to 100% in the export dialoge box but the images are still comming into CS5 as 8 x5 inches @ 72 dpi. Anybody help??? I am on deadline. THANKS
Welcome to the forum!
Can you give a few more details? OS? You should also update to 3.4.1, as it fixes a number of bugs in 3.3, and it's a free update.
How (and why) are you converting to jpg before opening in CS5? I can somewhat see doing a convert to jpg first if you are in a hurry, but passing along your entire file to PS will give you more options than doing a jpg. Of course, LR does basic editing and cropping just fine, it's only if you need to do special things that PS needs to get invoked, so it sounds like you may be doing extra work here.
Anyway, if you have screen shots of your export to jpg settings, and give us an idea of the steps you use, we can help better!
Cheers!

Hi all,
On my MAC OSX, when I change in Photoshop CC jpeg images with the size of around 57MB with 72dpi to 300dpi.
After the change, the image is still 57MB which is what I want.
However, once I save it to my desktop or other folder, suddenly the file size changes to around 6MB.
Prior to today, it was working fine for over 1 year.
This issue is also happening with Photoshop Elements 11.
What is happening here and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
SylwiaIn Image Size, you change 72 dpi to 300 dpi, and now the file is smaller when you save it?
Yes, only when I save it as jpeg. If I save it as tiff, it works fine and the file stays the larger size.
Was the file resampled when you changed the dpi setting?
No, it wasn't
Were the file dimensions left the same as in the original file?
Yes
If so, I suspect that your original file was not a jpeg..
It is 100% jpeg. Only 2 choices jpeg or raw.
I can insert step by step images if this would help?
Thanks for your help so far...

Hi, All:
I wondering why the XML file size changed after go through DB using CLOB. The original size is 1KB, but after I use the PUT and GET method, the size changed to 8KB. There is a lot of space appened to the content.
Thanks a lot!Can you provide an example of the code you are using for the put / get method. In SQL*PLUS I do not see what you are talking about

Export to jpeg: Show jpeg file size prior to export
Photoshop save to jpeg dialog box shows the jpeg file size associated with each jpeg compression level (1 - 12). Lightroom export dialog box does not show jpeg file size. Showing the expected jpeg file size is useful when needing to limit file size while maximizing jpeg quality. For example, some email applications limit attachment file size; some photo hosting sites (e.g., Zenfolio) limit file size to 12mb. If I export a cr2 file at 100 quality, it may result in a file size of 14mb. However, I cannot determine this until after I export. Then I may try 90 quality and find that the resulting file size is only 8mb. So, I try 95 quality, and get a 12.5mb file. This iterative process is a waste of time. I need to se the file size resulting from each jpeg quality setting in the export dialog box.
I have tried trashing the plist file. The files look fine through the media manager when copied to the other profile. They look like they are suppose to. The small videos also look fine when played on that computer. Unfortunately our other mac pro computer doesn't have final cut so i can't open and play proress files and my laptop, due to the extreme resolution can't be played on my laptop with final cut studio installed. Tomorrow i'm going to install the proress decoder on the one mac pro to check the files and make sure the self contained is checked but i'm almost positive on that. Other than nuking the profile i don't know what else to do. This is really weird.

My jpeg file sizes are much larger than they used to be.
Just recently the file sizes on my .jpeg files have become excessively larger than they used to be just a week or so ago. Where I used to go almost a week to need to archive to DVD a bunch of saved images, I've now got to save to DVD almost daily.
For example, a 300x300 pixel image which shoud be about 32 Kb reads 383 Kb in the finder. I'm not doing anything to these images, just draging and droping.
Where I used to get 7 K files on a DVD, I'm now getting less than 2 K files to each disc.
Any thoughts on what's changed and how to fix it?What App & JPEG compression rating are you using, some apps can reduce file size by dropping colors for instance...

Sips --embedProfile is reducing jpeg file size by half
I'm trying to use sips to embed the sRGB color profile to some jpegs, and when I do so, the resulting file size is always about 1/2 the original size. If I open the jpegs in Preview and embed the color profile there and save, there is a negligible file size difference. Any ideas as to what is going on when sips embeds the profile?
jphelp32 wrote:
I wouldn't expect sips to re-compress the image if I'm only adding the color profile and no other modifications.
I'm pretty confident it is re-compressing the JPEG. Here's how I tested it:
1. Add a color profile to a JPEG, just like you did.
2. Take that JPEG and load it, along with the original JPEG, into Photoshop in the same file, in different layers. Change the mode of the top layer to "Difference" and flatten the file. The picture looks like it's all black, but it's not.
3. Use a tool, like the levels adjustment, to increase the contrast. Where the two pictures differ, there will be "noise" in the picture.
However, if I duplicate a JPEG in the Finder, import the Finder duplicate and the original, and repeat steps 2 and 3, I get a black picture, no noise in it at all regardless of how much I mess with the levels.
You can change the compression level sips uses by using "-s formatOptions" and then one of low, normal, high, best , or a numerical percentage. That will also change the size of your file...

After copying a file from NTFS to HFS volume, file size changed when viewing in Windows
Hi guys,
I have a Mac Air running Mavericks on a HFS partition and Windows 7 on a BOOTCAMP NTFS partition. I have some files that I want to read/write from/to both systems. Since OS X can't write NTFS and Windows can't write HFS either, and I don't want to use any 3rd-party tools/drivers, I have to adopt a "stupid" way: in OS X, I copy those files from NTFS to its HFS partition, make changes, then switch to Windows and sync them back to NTFS.
The problem is, after I copied a file from NTFS to HFS in OS X, it seemed ok. But when I switched to Windows, the very copied file in HFS partition had its size changed (bigger) although I didn't make any changes to it in OS X yet. This happens to almost every file I copied, text and binary. For those text files, I tried to open it with EditPlus in Windows and EditPlus reports the correct size on the status bar.
How could this happen?I am not sure if this is what your seeing but...
The same unaltered file on two different volumes might use different amounts of disk space. This is because a 'disk' is divided in to 'blocks' and a block (also historically known as a 'sector') is a certain minimum size. So if disk-1 has a block size of 512 bytes and disk-2 has a block size of 1024 bytes then a file containing just 10 bytes will use up twice as much space on disk-2 as disk-1 even though it is the exact same file.
Beyond that, Macs can add additional information like Spotlight tags, labels, icons, etc. which make a file bigger. If you are modifying a file then presumably that also implies adding additional content e.g. for a Word document more text and this will make it bigger. Also depending on some programs are configured or designed 'deleting' text may only mark it as deleted and not really delete. This can apply to older versions of Word which has a 'Fast Save' feature, new versions have removed this and do a proper delete.
You would have to give more details like what you are doing to the document, what kind of document, and what the two sizes are.
Finally, there is one other potential difference, some systems and manufacturers use 1024 as a unit for measuring file and disk sizes, some use 1000. It will be the same number of bytes in each case but 1000 bytes in one case would exactly equal 1MB, and in the other it would be 0.9765MB. -
Alac file size changes when added to iTunes
Hello,
I've converted some FLAC files to ALAC using dbPowerAmp. The file bit rate remains unchanged. However, when I add the ALAC files to iTunes, the bit rate shown in iTunes is reduced.
Example - Alice Cooper, Hello Hurray
FLAC Bit Rate - 4608 kbs
Converted ALAC Bit Rate - 4608 kbs
iTunes ALAC Bit Rate - 3012 kbs
Any ideas what's going on?
I'm using iTunes 10.7.0.21
Thanks.Nothing has been changed.
Sounds like iTunes & dbPowerAmp figure the bit rate differently.
dbPowerAmp uses the uncompressed file sizeand iTunes figures the compressed file size.
Since the file is smaller, the bit rate will have to be lower. -
I have just upgraded from CS3 to CS5. I set my documents up for print and when saving to pdf small file size the file size have increased dramatically. A typical previous size would have been about 600 to 700k now the files are comming out at about 1.7 mb. I am getting complaints about this from clients. I have tried the save as reduced file size pdf, but it really doesn't make that much difference. Can anyone help?
Try creating your own job options file in Distiller. You can change the job options setting to reduce the file size as you see fit. You may want to make sure you font subset or you can turn off font embedding entirely. You can make sure your graphics are as small as you feel appropriate.

Hi all,
Being a bit newer at all this I'm sure there is something I don't know that I don't know which would answer this:
Been taking some identical test shots on my new 6D and my old 60D to compare. Jpeg only for now, same "quality" setting. I noticed that the file sizes of the pictures on the 60D were larger than the 6D's. I would have thought that with a larger sensor and roughly 2mp more the 6D's would have been the larger, or at least the same. Some of the 60d's were almost 3-4 mb larger.
Lenses if it matters: 6D 24-105L kit, 60D EFS 15-85 IS. ISO was the same in some, apetures pretty close in most.
What am I missing?Thanks for the response.
Good point on the noise reduction, I'll check those settings to see if they are on the same setting.
I tried to frame the shots exactly the same, using only the center AF point focused on the same point for both. Got them pretty close.
I came across a 6D review that had a table showing the raw file sizes for various cameras at various ISO's, and it showed the 60d and 6d pretty similar (still not understanding why given larger sensor and 2 more mpixel) . The 60D's got larger at the higher ISO. I am guessing increased noise may be the reason? -
Why do file sizes change when I use "Process Multiple Images" to add watermarks?
Hi,
I'm using Elements 11. In order to add watermarks to many JPG pics at once, I use the function "Process Multiple Files".
I select a source folder and a destination folder, and adds a three digit serial number to each file. I do NOT tick the checkbox marked "Change picture size". After that I define the watermark I want printed on my pics and hits OK. All the files in the source folder are processed and saved, with a new name in the destination folder. Fair and square.
But. The file size of the new file is heavily reduced, compared to the original. It goes from 10 MB down to 500 KB (in general). Why is that? Is there any way I can prevent it?
Regards,
/Mikael LindgrenOr you can uncheck the convert files box to save them in their original format, or select one of the lossless formats PSD, BMP, TIF. What is most appropriate depends on what you intend to do with the watermarked versions.
Cheers,
Neale

Why is jpeg file size different in CS 5 and Photoshop CC?
If I open a jpeg file in both CS5 and Photoshop CC, and then "save" the files, the file from CC is much smaller than the file from CS5.
The size and compression ratios are the same, but the file size is different. (It is about 1/2 the size).Bridge does not compress any files whatsoever. Bridge is not an image editor, it's nothing but a browser that hands the files to their respective applications. Bridge does not "open" or "save" files, it can't compress them in any shape or form.
What you are seeing is the difference between the opened, uncompressed file in RAM and the space the file occupies on disk once
Photoshop has saved and compressed it.
The Bridge cache has nothing to do with any of this. -
JPEG file sizes compared to PS.
Hi there folks
I've noticed that the file sizes when exporting from Aperture2 to jpg are considerably different to the same files exported from Photoshop.
For example one image which was set to jpeg compression level 5 with DPI of 240 came out as 1.4mb whereas in photoshop the same image came out as 500kb.
Has anyone else noticed this and are there any settings I can check to see if there is something causing this?
Thanks for your help
GraemeYeah it seems to vary from about 70-100% bigger depending on the image. I was wondering if it was something to do with the metadata that's included. I always include my metadata because I am shooting for a news agency, but maybe it's the way that it stores it in the file????
I want to keep using Aperture as much as possible because I have the uberupload plugin as well and it means I can fire stuff straight through to the agency from aperture by FTP without any other apps and makes my workflow a lot quicker.
Has puzzled me. -
A number of my images exported to JPEG have a larger file size than the original RAW file. My export is fairly basic, quality 100, color space sRGB, no resizing, no watermark. Anyone any idea why ? I thought JPEG were supposed to be compressed.
Possibly because you are not setting an output resolution so light room is making a best interpolation.
Try setting the dimensions you want or the dimension for the long edge and use a resolution of 300ppi for printing or 72 for uploading to the web.
