JPGs get bigger when saving

I copy a digital image from my Canon Rebel to my New Imac running OS Lion and Adobe CS5.
When I view the file size, it's 3 MB before I open or do anything to it.
I open it in Photoshop and run some filters on it and the size climbs to 16 MB after I save as JPG baseline quality 12.
If I again open that jpg (16MB) and apply "unsharp" mask"  6 more times and then save as JPG, baseline quality 12, the file size climbs to 20 MB on my mac.
Is this a bug? Does anyone else have this problem?
Re compressing in JPG used to alway get smaller, correct?
Bob

Your right Don!
I went to another Mac running 10.5.8 that I own with CS4 on it .
Sam thing happened. I was surprised how the file size climbed with each application of unsharp mask, but with blur or different other filters, the file size was reduced to nothing.
It was interesting to note that there is a limit to file growth using the "Unsharp mask".
After 20 applications of the unsharp filter, the picture quit sharpening (having reached it maximum radius, it could apply no more sharpening as the edges in the photo showed no more growth.... I guess) and the file size quit climbing at around 24 MB.
I thought maybe it was CS5 and OS Lion, but the same thing happens in OS Leopard and CS4.
Thanks for confirming my results.
Bob

  • Print program is not getting triggered when saving the application

    Hi all,
    My requirement is when i save the invoice using VF01 the print program should get triggered.
    The print program is not getting triggered when saving the application even when i have configured the outtype and have attached the print program.
    The setting "send immediately (when saving application)" is also checked.
    I need to configure it for VF01 transaction.
    The error message displayed was " please maintain output device in master data".

  • Error 0xBFF69011 - "Unable to get attribute" when saving current camera settings to file

    Hi,
    I get an Error 0xBFF69011 - "Unable to get attribute" when attempting to save current camera setting to file with MAX. I was not able to save a single time, hence the settings the camera came with out of the box are still active.
    Camera: Basler acA2500-14um
    Camera firmware: 106215-05;U;acA2500_14u;V1.0-8;0
    Driver: NI-IMAQdx USB3 Vision device
    MAX version:5.4
    IMAQdx version: 4.2 
    Does anyone know what causes this error or how I can modify the camera settings and save the modifications to file?
    Thank you,
    Ferenc

    Yes, the 1.0 Basler firmware released after IMAQdx 4.2 exposed this specific problem. This has been addressed in Vision Acquisition September 2013 (13.1) which includes IMAQdx 4.3. There should have been a public KB created for this issue but I do not see it yet...

  • Data in adobe form gets cleared when saved to desktop(Form is added in WD)

    Dear All,
    I have adobe form incorporated in a wed dynpro component. It's an interactive form and user has option to fill in details in the form. There is a submit button which user can click in order to submit details. This submit in turn does posting. Method is written in wed dynpro view for validation and posting.
    My problem starts here, when user has clicked on submit and posted, posting happens and finally the data is present in adobe form with the new PR no crated. When i try to save this form in my desktop it saves a blank form and not the data which is present in it. However if i don't click on submit and save the pdf with the manually entered values it save properly with the data.
    Please help in getting to bottom of this issue. One point, i have no idea about adobe forms, so pleae let me know for some obvious case as well.
    Thanking everybody in advanc.
    Regards,
    Saud

    Hi,
    My question still remains unanswered and i have found some observations myself. The thing is if i use any button on the form, and then try saving it saves an empty pdf, however if i do a manual entry it retains the data, and even after submit if i try something to enter maually and then try to save, it saves correctly.
    Please help me with some information.

  • Username gets truncated when saved from BW

    Hi all,
    We have a function module that is called from a BW report which is developed as a BSP application in the BW client; this FM saves some data (such as contract number, username, etc.) in a Z table created in R/3. The FM is called with respect to R/3 RFC destination. All the details passed to this FM (except the username) are saved correctly in the Z table; however username gets truncated to 8 characters.
    When the same FM is called from portal or even executed manually complete user name gets saved. All the variables / fields etc. are declared with the correct data elements.
    Can someone advise what the cause can be. Is this related to RFC calls.
    Cheers,
    KC

    Are you passing the User Name to RFC? If so check the Import parameter of RFC. If its char8, it will truncate the data.

  • Why do objects get bigger when I copy and paste from one Keynote document to another?

    I have 2 keynote presentation files open. I select some objects on one slide, apple-C to copy, go over to a blank slide in another file, and apple-V to paste. The item(s) get pasted but are much bigger - they take up way more of the new slide than they did for the old one.  What am I missing? Why can't I copy it with the same relative size it used to have?

    Chances are that small file used to be a PowerPoint file - PowerPoint deals in inches instead of pixels (which blows my mind).
    I would first convert the smaller file to a larger resolution - that should keep most of the scaling intact - and then copy and paste. In my opinion you'll probably have to re-polish your presentation once you've changed the resolution as some things will probably be a bit wonky.

  • Adobe illustrator window gets minimized when saving custom file type.

    I had created a new file type . When I try to save a document in the newly created file type the Adobe illustrator window gets minimized (restored).

    I tried ringing Adobe and after creating a new user account on my system and logging into that, I was then able to use illustrator. This is okay but not ideal as I don't want to have to switch between accounts each time I want to access my files. Any ideas on how to solve this? I have tried uninstalling and deleting preference files again but still the same problem...?

  • "Message Processor" does not get assigned when saving the document.

    Hi folks!
    When creating a support message (SLFN) and saving the document usually the BP of the current user got assigned to the partner funtion "message processor".
    This used to work but does not anymore. Now I cannot find the reason why.
    I think I could achieve this via customizing "Make Settings for Change Transaction Types" and using "Specify Copy of Current User" but I am pretty sure this was not customized before.
    I could use partner determination procedure, too. Access sequence "User" but still I am not sure this was customized before.
    I am using SLFN transaction type service provider scenario (SLFC0001)
    Anyone got an idea?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Printer share name gets renamed when saving with -1

    Often (but not always) when I change a seemingly unrelated setting (like channel, encryption, NTP...) the printer name gets appended with " - 1"
    Canon MP780 FAX - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1
    Is the current name. This is really frustrating people as you might imagine and confusing to boot.

  • Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?

    My work involves preparing images for printing lightboxes and window installations.  My clients require to pre-approve the photos before printing.
    I usually save my files as psd but since the files are very large in this format I usually save another copy as a jpg file that has a much smaller file size.  This makes it possible for me to add these to a presentation and and send them to my client.
    Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?  Or do I still have to do this manually?

    If you save the document manually as a PSD file in Phtoshop not from within an Action, Script, Plugin or Droplette.  You may be able to write a Photoshop that would do as save as Jpeg,  And you should be able trigger its execution by setting up a Script Save event using the Script event manager.  When You do a manual save  the script should be triggered.  I wrote may be able to for I have never tried to write that script or set up a Script Manager Save event.  I have only use open events.

  • When saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?

    when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
    thank you

    It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
    Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
    Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

  • After migrating to a new MBP, when saving or opening documents, I sometimes (but not always) get a warning such as: "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume." Can someone please explain?

    I recently migrated from a MBP with OS 10.6 to a MCB with OS 10.8. Some glitches are popping up. Here's the one on my mind at the moment:
    When saving or opening documents, I get a warning such as: "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume." Can someone please explain?

    Since this is isolated to a single file, try exporting it to Interchange Format (.inx), then open and save the resulting file as a new InDesign file.
    Since the problem occurs during export, that may not be possible. Another option to try would be to copy all elements, page by page, and "paste in place" into a new document the same size. If you used layers, be sure to enable "paste remembers layers" in the layers panel menu.
    This kind of problem is often indicative of an underlying font issue. You said there are only three fonts, and you should verify that in Type > Find Font... Try replacing, at least temporarily the fonts in use with something else that you know to be reliable from other documents. You might want to do this before the other steps.

  • Illustrator CS6 color issues when saving JPG

    I have recently gotten rid of the Pantone+ color books and replaced them with the old color books, using the "Workaround 1: Replace Pantone Plus with older Pantone color books" help from Adobe. Followed all of the instrauctions and had no issues until two weeks ago. Then suddenly when saving PDFs I had to start changing the output Color Conversion to ' convert to destination'. I never had to take this extra step before. Now if I do not do this it saves some colors as black. Whatever, I got over that and take the extra step.
    TODAY, now I can't even save JPGs without color issues. Some JPGs save correctly. Then I use the same color in a different file, and it saves completely different. Same color profiles, swatch options, blah blah blah.
    Someone help me. I am extremely fed up with these issues. Like everyone else, this is my job and now it is making a huge impact on my work...

    What program are you using to view the PDFs?
