Keeping original image compression

I'm doing an online ad and for the first time really have to
worry about file size (their limit is 35k!), so I spent a while in
Photoshop saving the images I'm using to very small sizes without
hurting the images noticably (one jpeg, one gif), such that they
don't even add up to 10k. But when I export the flash it makes a
66k file (the flash itself is only 2k minus the images). I never
realized before that flash recompresses everything itself, even if
the files you're importing are already jpeg. I can't for the life
of me see where to stop it from doing this?? It seems it leaves
GIF's alone but wants to recompress jpegs.

No, it's not a huge deal. I am talking about the SWF being
66k (the FLA is 288k). It's just that I like to use photoshop to
save the jpeg because you get more options and easier, and that
works most of the time when you get the "use imported jpeg data"
option in Flash like Walter says (if you don't then flash could
actually make the jpeg bigger when it recompresses) but for some
reason I don't get that option with every jpeg... just
strange.

Keeping original image?

Hello All,
if i have several edited versions of an image but do not want to keep the original (or at least I don't want it printed in a proofbook). Can I delete it? or would that effect the other images created from it?
And when I export versions, is there a short cut or would I have to deselect each of the originals (some have copies some do not) that I don't want printed or exported? Thanks for your help in advance!
Mark

If you have more than one version of an image and delete the "original", you are only deleting a version. All versions are working off the same Master image, and that remains as long as there is at least one version. Aperture will warn you before you delete a master, but will immediately delelte a version w/o protest.
There are lots of ways to filter out images you don't wish to use: keywords, ratings, albums, smart albums..,

How do I keep original image size in InDesign CS after changing image in Photoshop?

Here is an example of what I am talking about:
If I have an image in Indesign that is scaled to 50%. I want to go to Photoshop and reduce the image size by 50% so when I go back to InDesign and update the image the image will stay the same size in the box, but now show that the image is at 100%.
How do I get the image to remain the same size in the image box after altering the size in Photoshop?

> How do I get the image to remain the same size in the image box after altering the size in Photoshop?
You do so by upgrading to CS3.

Keeping Two Copies of Original Image in File

If I select Edit Content on a Smart Object layer, and then select Duplicate Layer, will that put two copies of the original image in the file?
I used the Place command to bring high resolution images into a canvas of a much lower resolution. I've already spent a lot of time scaling and positioning the images on the canvas. But it turns out, I would now like to do certain editing on the original pixels of the images because of their greater resolution. Of course, that defeats the purpose of Smart Objects for non-destructive editing.
But there's no reason I can't keep two copies of an original image in a file, and destructively edit only one copy, right?

If you double-click the (non-linked) SO, you will be editing the embedded 6000 px document (and not the original file). If you select save as, you could save it as an independent document.
Now I see that double clicking on the Smart Object does the same thing as right clicking on the Smart Object layer and selecting Edit Contents. So that helps me understand what you have been saying.
PECourtejoie wrote:
I have to say that I'm a bit lost about "But I also want to save a copy of those original images without editing in the files."
I mean that I want to save the original, unedited images embedded in the same files as the files with all the work that I am doing. I am not linking to the original image files after I use the Place command.

Iphone 6 photo image compression/ quality loss

iPhone 6 and 6 plus have pretty remarkable cameras. But oddly, Apple doesn't seem to want you to keep the high quality images and videos you take. As soon as you email let's say a 3.5 mb photo image, you are asked what size you want to email it in and given a series of compression options. Once you make the decision the first time, that decision is permanent. Apple does not really warn you that you are about to permanently, massively compress (destroy) that original image. There should be a better way to preserve original image files. The email compression decision should impact only that email -- not the master image file. But it does.
Also, if you take an amazing video on your iPhone 6, when you put that video in photostream or in the cloud or email it, there is no warning to you that you've just massively compressed the video. I took a video that was close to 10 mb, emailed it to myself to save it, then had to wipe my phone because of a problem. When i reinstalled and opened the video, it was about 10% of the size of the original video. Original gone. No warning.
It's sort of odd that Apple would not think to create better menus, options and communication/guidance around image compression.
Lastly, if you take a picture on your Iphone .. there is NO WAY to know any metadata on that image file -- unless you go to email it and you get that compressino option screen. You can't see anywhere else the image file size. Again, why make such a great camera if all you want is to massively degrade the image files the moment you do anything with them?

Howdy elkspark,
If your camera photos still dont look quite right, I would recommend taking a look at this info from the following article to help determine what might be causing this to happen:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Your photos are blurred or out of focus
If your photos are blurred, out of focus, or have dark spots, try these steps:
Make sure that the camera lens is clean. If you need to clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
With iPhone 6 Plus, a metallic case or magnetic lens could interfere with optical image stabilization. If you have a metallic case or magnetic lens attachment, try taking a picture without it. Then compare the quality.
Adjust the focus by tapping on the person or object in the preview screen. You’ll see the screen pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as the camera adjusts. In photo mode, try to stay steady when adjusting the focus. If you move too far in any direction, the camera will automatically refocus to the center. In video mode, you can adjust the focus before you begin recording.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

How would an Apple fan keep unwanted images out of Photostream in IOS 8?

So Apple decides that people don't need an uncluttered thumbnail view of all photos stored in their iPhone in IOS 8. And the UI geniuses also decide that the concept of cloud (aka "server side" in 90's terms) storage and local storage is just too much for the average iPhone user to grasp.
The UI design choices that sprung from this mindset have reduced usability, efficiency, but more importantly the family friendly reputation that Apple trades on in nearly all of their marketing material.
Finding images (particularly when you have thousands) in the Years/Collections/Moments(Maps too!) paradigm is ridiculously inefficient compared to a scrolling screen with rows upon rows of thumbnails touching each other in chronological order. Of course we can quibble about whether the chronology should be based on file creation dates or EXIF metadata but those are decisions that we don't get in the IOS world (yes, another complaint). My main point here is that they had no reason to get rid of Camera Roll. Why can't it exist alongside the YCMM world of dates/locations and useless search tools? Let's face it, the new Recently Added Album is just a silly smart folder as are all the other albums. Why can't I change the 30 day date range to one of my choosing? Or why can't I add what Apple would call a Smart Album into my Albums just as I can add Cro-Mag dumb albums that need constant updating? This would bring back that good old Camera Roll functionality so people not confused by cloud vs local and like to keep track of their original image files could be happy. And the people that need Simple would be happy too.
But back to my original query. I use my iPhone for many purposes including work. I also take iPhone screenshots for work. I also take a lot of pictures and not all of those images should be in my family and sharing oriented personal Photostream. After all Apple, you sold me an Apple TV which I can fire up and share my recent life experiences with others. Why the heck would I want product photography, conference room whiteboard pics, iPhone wallpaper, and all the different images that are not the "selects" but that I want to archive using Lightroom or iPhoto anyway showing up IN MY FAMILY SLIDESHOWS? One of the benefits of digital imaging is the cheap cost of creating and storing many images. I use my iPhone often as I would a DSLR and I frequently shoot many images that are very similar, sometimes using burst mode in the phone. Why would you force me to completely delete images that are not "favorites/selects" just so I can maintain a decent slideshow via Photostream? Why do you not want me to have pleasing wallpaper downloaded via the sundry App Store wallpaper apps? Any new wallpaper I add will now be in the Photostream. Yes, family dinner with the Apple TV slideshow showing images of cars, puppies, clouds, and abstract patterns interspersed with the trip to the pool last weekend sure makes for some great viewing!
This is because you also killed the Photostream album view and I can no longer delete unwanted Photostream images unless I also want to completely delete the image local to the iPhone. If you go to the YCMM (Years/Collections/Moments/Maps) Photo tab there is no way to treat the local image separately from the cloud based Photostream image. This is absurd. You can't pitch Photostream as a lifestyle feature since you now prevent editing and curating this very audience specific collection of images. It's as if you forgot that a huge number of iPhone users are creative professionals! And we use our iPhones for professional purposes as well as personal.
Not to mention that this design choice HUGELY increases the probability of "inappropriate" photos being uploaded to the cloud and lost control over through hacking or just user misunderstanding of how iCloud and Photostream works. Amazing that Apple would do this considering the recent scandal.
So now I'll answer my own original question with a lame "workaround" answer. And yes, it involves a lot more work as opposed to the couple of touches that I used frequently in IOS 7 and earlier to curate my Photostream right on my iPhone: You have to have another IOS device (pre IOS 8) and delete the images from Photostream from there. Or use iPhoto to do the same. So add yet another task to your Reminders app that is now much more of a hassle.
Apple, for the love of Pete, please don't take away control over my source image files and my ability to create collections of images for different purposes.
Thanks.

Excellently well put and accurate. The answer of course is that Apple want us to rent vast lumps of storage from them. Your point about appropriate images is well made. It's not just **** either but maybe legitimate images that you don't want shared out in the world, such as your wife and daughters caught on camera whilst sunbathing topless in the security of a private villa on holiday. That could prove embarrassing to them if they found their way out into the public domain, easily done by accident from a phone. The fact is that Apple have decided for pure commercial gain to take control of our means of controlling and storing our images. I shoot mainly portraits of my extended family and Landscapes. I don't want to share my images across mobiles etc, I want to sell them or give them to family members myself . Apple you are losing the plot here and alienating your core supporters.

Is there a way to avoid image "compression/downscaling" on the iPad yet??

Is there a way to avoid image "compression/downscaling" on the iPad yet??
I'm sick of saving/downloading/transferring images to my iPad, only to find them being downscaled when saved to the device..
Is anyone aware of a way to change this?? <edited by host>
I would very much like my images to remain the original resolution..
Thanks!

Nothing has changed. If your camera transfers raw images to the iPad, these are not touched. Copies that work with the iPad's resolution are also created during the transfer. When you sync with your computer the untouched raw images are what get transfered.
But the iPad is a viewinf device, not a transfer device from computer to computer, so if you sync photos from your computer to the iPad, those are provisioned to the iPad's resolution.

Reducing the Resolution of a Referenced Original Image

I made the mistake of taking photos in very high resolution, and then importing the originals into my Aperture Library as referenced images. Now my hard drive is completely full (and I've already disabled and deleted Previews), so I'm trying to reduce the resolution of the original images using Aperture. After much reading, it seems that I'll need to Export Versions at a reduced size, Import the new versions into Aperture, and Delete the old originals. Seriously?!? Before I venture down this horrific path, please let me know if there is an easier solution. Thanks!

As Terence said -- the easy thing is built-in and recommended: select the Images whose Originals you want to relocate, and relocate them to external drives. External drives are _bargains_ right now. I recommend -- seriously -- buying them in triplicate: one as your "working data" store, and two to use as back-ups (never have all three in the same physical location).
Storage is so cheap, on fact, that even though for this one set of pictures you recorded a higher resolution than you need, I still wouldn't bother "down-sizing" those Originals -- particularly if you have made _any_ changes via adjustments or metadata. Change your camera settings, and just live with a little extra data spinning around.
Here is the page in the User Manual on relocating your Originals (click from the contents listed at the top).
Note, too, the following, from the page Basic Components of Aperture:
Using referenced images in your Aperture system provides a number of substantial benefits to your photography workflow. For example, you can incorporate your existing portfolio of images into Aperture without changing the current location of the files. Importing images by reference does not result in a duplication of your image files in the Aperture library, thus saving hard disk space. You can also connect and disconnect hard disks holding your referenced images’ masters as you need them. This allows you to keep masters for less-used images offline or to make specific types of images available for editing or adjustments as needed. Using referenced images in your Aperture system lets you build a flexible image management system customized to your work style. (Emphasis mine.)
For my personal Libary, I keep 4★, 5★, Portfolio Images, and anything recorded in the last 45 days on my laptop's system drive. Every other Original is relocated to a 2 TB external drive.
I find Previews _very_ useful (both in and out of Aperture), and even rely on them as a sort of emergency back-up of last resort. I recommend you rebuild yours.

Aperture is exporting large file size e.g. original image is 18.2MB and the exported version (TFF 16 Bit) is 47.9MB, any ideas please

Raws, even if not compressed, Sould be smaller than a 24-bit Tiff, since they have only one bitplane. My T3i shoots 14 bit 18MP raws and has a raw file size of 24.5 MB*. An uncompressed Tiff should have a size of 18 MP x 3 bytes per pixel or 54 MB.
*There must be some lossless compression going on since 18 MP times 1.75 bytes per pixel is 31.5MB for uncompressed raw.

Keep actual image size when rotating and exporting to PDF

When one rotates an image in a non-right angle in InDesign, the resulting image in the PDF, even if looks the same size of the original image when compared save for being rotated, actually shrink in size. That's noticieable when one saves the image from the PDF as the rotated image appears rotated inside the same size of the original, rather than being larger. I fear it may cause some quality loss at print. Is there any workaround around it?
Or it is just a previsualization glitch and the file prints normal? (as while importing the PDF in Illustrator seems to keep the original resolution of the image)

I can't see a difference in size between two copies of the same image when one is rotated in a non-right angle and the other is at zero rotation.
From the way your question is worded, I'm not sure what you are doing.

If it looks the same size, what makes you think it is not?

Edit In external editors moves original image and returns edited image to end of filmstrip

When I edit an image from Lightroom 5.7 in an external editor such as Photoshop or Portraiture I want the original image to keep its place in the filmstrip and I want the returned edited image to join it in a stack at that location. Instead, the original image gets moved to the end of the filmstrip and the edited one is returned to stack with it at the end of the filmstrip.
Upon Import I don't know if my images are sorted by filename or time created because both are in the same order coming from the camera.
Thank you.
LR 5.7 CC, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Have a look at the toolbar above the film strip. Ensure the sort order is set to capture time and not edit time.
Click the tiny triangle symbols to see all the sort options.
If the toolbar is not immediately visible press the T key once or twice to toggle on/off. The drop down arrow to the far right of the toolbar lets you choose what items are shown.

Image compression in Muse CC

With the new update whenever I place a png image, Muse automatically compresses the image - this wasn't happening before. It's very frustrating! For instance, if I place a text image (even if it's the same one I had already used on my website and looked perfectly fine), now with the new update when I preview the site in my browser, one can clearly see (on my Mac Pro Retina display) that the quality is now significantly lesser. Is there any way to download the previous Muse version or sort this bug out? Because as it is now, the new update damages my website as a whole! Please help.

I believe this is specific to viewing on a Retina display. Strictly speaking this isn't a compression issue. The display is fuzzy on a Retina display because the images are at the correct resolution for a non-Retina display.
Retina quality images take 4 times longer to download than non-Retina images.
Muse 4.x had a bug that resulted in many cases where Muse would fail to resize the original image data down to the size it was being used at during the export process. If an original camera image was placed in Muse, this bug in 4.x could result in the full multi-megapixel image being uploaded and thus very slow page load times in the browser. We fixed this bug in Muse 5.0 so the images are now being resampled to the size at which they're being used, but in your case you were relying on this bug to get Retina resolution images uploaded.
We're currently evaluating the alternatives for how to enable the behavior you need, without forcing everyone to take the 4x longer page load times associated with Retina images.
If this is a show stopper for you, you can revert ot Muse 4.1 by running the Adobe Muse Uninstaller on the Mac or removing Adobe Muse via the Control Panel on Windows and then install Muse 4.1 from here.

Photoshop CC: Have a template that I moved image into. Image is too small. How do I resize the image while in the template? Or must I go to original image file and resize there again and again until I get the right fit?

I have a template that I am able to plug different pictures into at different times. The problem is that when I plug an image into that template, I find that the image is either too big or too small. Is there a way to plug the image into the template and resize the image (and not the template itself) OR will I have to go to the file with the original image and resize it there and then try to plug it in to the template to see if it fits------and if it does not fit, go back to the original file with the image and resize it again and see if that fits---and so on and so on...........? I have tried the" image size" option but it's hit or miss------mostly miss!
Thanks!

Read up on Smart Objects. It looks like you have no idea as to how to create and use them.
Jut create a Smart Object from the layer containing whatever it image it is that you are "plugging into your template". But you do need to learn the application at its most basic levels.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. You cannot learn Photoshop in a forum, one question at a time.
Or is it possible that you don't even have Photoshop proper but the stripped-down Photoshop Elements?"
If the latter is the case, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you would want if you're working in Elements.:

If you do have Photoshop proper, please provide the exact version number of that application and of your OS.

What is the best online storage for photos. Specifically one that allows the original image quality to be downloaded should your hard storage goes belly up

I'd put them on an external hard drive(s) and burn them to a DVD as well (at least 2 - 3 copies on different drives/media); I prefer having control and a local solution instead of relying on a server and the possibility of someone (who shouldn't be) downloading my work.
