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

  • Photoshop CC crop image size & resolution dialog box

    In previous versions of Photoshop the "R" button displays the Crop Image Size & Resolution dialog box.  Is this feature completely gone is CC? I can't find anything the even references this dialog box.  Anyone out there have this issue?

    In photoshop cc 2014, the size and resolution boxes will actually show on the tool options bar instead of a separate dialog window, by choosing W x H x Resolution from the drop-down menu.

  • 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.

  • Lightroom - FIlter by image size (cropped or dimension)?

    Is there no way in Lightroom to filter a catalogue by the image size?
    The new filter system in V2 appears compact and tidy, but I can't believe there is not a method to filter by all information contained in the Metadata list? Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks

    As I stated you can use the Bridge Search (Find) function.

  • Lightroom 2.5 Image Size When Printing

    I have searched and tried several approaches, but cannot get LR to adjust an image size correctly when printing. 
    For example, I have a Lab Test Page tif image that has a document size of 23" W x 29" H and a resolution of 180 ppi.
    I can use CSR 4 Image/Image Size to change this to 8" W x 10.5" H and a resolution of 320 ppi using resampling. The reduced image prints correctly in CSR 4 on 8.5" x 11" paper and results in .25" margins top and bottom. The same thing happens in LR 2.5 with the size reduced image.
    However, if I try to print the original image using LR 2.5 to automatically resize the image it does not work correctly. I have tried all sorts of combinations of settings to get it to reduce the image (as is done in CSR 4) and print with .25" top/bottom margins without success. The image fails to resize correctly.
    Is this a bug, a feature??, or operator error? Can anyone tell how to make LR 2.5 automatically resize so it prints correctly? I have tested this on other computers with the same results.
    Thanks
     

    Go to print module.
    Select Print to jpg.
    Set the resolution at 180 ppi.
    Other output settings, sharpening, paper profile as required.
    Set the margin sizes as required.
    Set the cell size to the size of the image
    Set the Custom File Dimensions to the size of the paper...29" x 23" in this case.
    You can drag the Cell size and the various borders around until you get exactly the lay out on paper you require. Then when finished hit print to file, name the file and the job is done.
    If you want to print a a different size, with a different resolution, on different sized paper, with different borders all this can be done in the print module and it is WYSIWYG so no guess work (or calculations) involved. Using LR rather than PS for this also has the advantage of using much better algorithms for upsizing images than PS and applying output sharpening for the specific media type you intend to print to, all using the RAW data

  • Iphoto to aperture import doubles image size?

    Hi All.
    There is an option to either "keep the files in same place" or to "import to aperture folder" when I import my iPhoto Library.
    If I select the latter as the video recommends does that mean I am doubling the amount of space on my HD my images are taking up?
    Thanks.

    Hi Jim.
    Thanks. Can I please ask you to help me out a little more here?
    I am a former PC user (somehow every time I say that I think I must qualify for a 12 step program somewhere). Anyway.
    I am finding myself - pretty frequently - dragging images out of iPhoto and putting them on the desktop, and then sometimes uploading these to my Wordpress Blog or gathering them all up so I can see them in Cover Flow or Editing them in Photoshop which is in the XP side of my machine under Parallels (the version of Adobe Elements I have is like version 3 and does not work well...). Basically, I just can't seem to get around doing this.
    When I upload to MobileMe or to Flickr I don't have to do this but other things I seem to do it pretty regularly for. This is a little messy but nothing compared to what it was like getting images out of my PC box and then into /some/ kind of order in iPhoto (which was really a nightmare).
    Anyway, I am doing this again right now. I have to print up some 24 x 36 inch poster sized images of some of my work. I find the image in iPhoto, drag it to the desktop. Organize these into folders of varying size - and then open in Photoshop. If I find that this image for one reason or another has been reduced in size - and I know I must have a bigger image somewhere - I run a Spotlight search and it comes up as being in the iPhoto Library and I copy this out of the iPhoto Library, crop to fit and then upload to FTP.
    I know this all sounds like a kludge and I would like to avoid creating problems for myself moving forward since the move to iPhoto was not so pretty.
    Can I /please/ ask you to tell me what is involved in a referenced library and whether from what I am saying in the above this makes sense to you for me to do. I mean, you are saying that if I choose not to import into the Aperture Library then I will basically have a Referenced Library which references the data in the iPhoto Library?
    Is there a third option?
    Is there a good way to pickup the photos that are now in my hard drive that are also in the iPhoto library? Is there a good reason to pick these up...
    Anyway, hoping to do some recovery work over here...
    Thanks.

  • 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:
    http://www.inbasys.com/WAI
    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.

  • After Effects Crops layer size when importing from Illustrator file

    I don't know if this was reported before, but when importing an Illustrator CS3 file with multiple layers as a cropped composition, some of the paths/objects get cropped horizontally - and the cropping is not even on both sides either (not that it makes any better or worse)- it is more cropped on the left side.
    I really would love an answer to this because I work mostly in that fashion, and it will be a pain if I lose this feature.
    Thanks in advance,
    Doug

    Yes, I made sure of that.
    In this specific case every other layer got cropped, independent of the size of the path, for example - in one layer I have the background that did not get clipped, the next has an oval (smaller than the first) - that got cropped; next some text - not cropped following that a cloud shape get's cropped and so on.
    Right now I do not have time for doing some tests, but I'll do as soon as possible.
    This has been my favourite workflow for client logo animation and I have been craving for new features in this feature such as sub layers becoming pre-comps etc.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Show stacked images in Previous Import

    Consider the following scenario:
    1. Import an image.
    => The imported image is shown. In the left panel Previous Import is selected.
    2. Export the image to a plugin.
    => The exported image is processed by the plugin and reimported and stacked with the original imported in step 1.
    === Actual in LR3.0 ===
    As long as the user remains on Previous Import, the original is shown as being a stack of 2, but expanding the stack does not show the 2nd image.
    === Expected ===
    Always have the contents of a stack available.

    With Previous Import the behavior is a little different from Collections - in Collections the case I described does not result in a stack. Period. In Previous Import, a stack is created, but you cannot see the contents when expanding it. This looks much more like a bug than a feature that is not supported under certain circumstances.

    Digital files don't have sizes in centimeters or inches, meters or yards. They have only pixels. If LR is not changing the number of pixels, it is not changing the digital image. When the image is printed, the number of pixels packed into every inch has a large effect on the quality of the print. This is the pixels per inch number, or "ppi". For a smooth print paper it is generally accepted that 300 ppi produces optimum quality, but for canvas a lower ppi, as low as 150 even, will do. Unfortunately, your camera puts a tag on the digital file which sets a default ppi of only 72. The reason is very anachronistic and silly and is a hangover from 30 years ago when Apple monitors had a resolution of 72 dpi, a measure long ago abandoned. That tag is misleading because it gives the impression that a very large print can be made from the pixels just as they come from the camera (the smaller the ppi, the larger the print) and some beginners think that is the only size print that can be made. But that not true. It is only a default tag, a suggestion, and it can be disregarded or changed (LR changes it to 240 ppi) and any sized print made. The real, operative, ppi will be the pixel dimensions divided by the print dimensions. Your image with all its pixels (uncropped other than to the 1:1.4 paper ratio) will have an operative 93 ppi on b0 paper which is a bit low. I would suggest using LR's resize function to double it to 7296 pixels on the short side.

  • Why are my NEF's imported to Lightroom 3 a smaller size?

    Why is it that when I import NEF's to Lightroom 3 and then open them in Photoshop CS4 the the image size is 7.954 x 5.28"?  But if I just drag my NEF's to a folder on the computer and open in Photoshop they are 17.067" x 11.33".  I really want to edit in Lightroom but I need the largest size possible for finished photos.   I have no presets selected during import.   Is it possible that the size of NEF's is irrelevant to the finished Jpeg size?  Thanks for your help!

    A digital image (image file) does not have a size in inches (or centimeters). The displays you are seeing are misleading.
    The only dimension of a digital image is its pixel dimension: so many pixels horizontal, so many vertical.
    For instance: an image comes out of the camera with a pixel dimension of 3000 x 2000 pixels. That is its only dimension.
    For printing an image we want a size in inches (or centimeters) which is dependant of the resolution we choose for the print.
    In the above example if we choose a resolution of 300 dpi we get a print size of 10" x 6.66". But if we choose a resolution of 200 dpi we get a print size of 15" x 10".
    If we would want the image to print with a resolution of 300 dpi in a print size of 24" x  16" we realize that we don't have enough pixels for that in the original image. Thus for a print size of 24" x 16" at 300 dpi we have to upsample the image to 7200 x 4800 pixels, i.e. Photoshop or Lr has to "invent" new pixel to fill in the missing ones.
    But as long as your image is on the computer (or on the web) there is only the pixel dimension; a size in inches or centimeters is non-existent.
    What Photoshop tells you in the image size box is the following: For the given image file and the selected resolution we would arrive at a certain print size.
    Please note that Photoshop indicates the selected resolution at the bottom of the image size box. Change the resolution and uncheck <Resample image> and see how the size in inches changes.
