  • Saving Changes to your Photographs in Lightroom 3 | Adobe Evangelists - Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this episode, Julieanne Kost will explain how changes made to photographs are saved automatically to the Lightroom Catalog. Then Julieanne will demonstrate how to use both the “Save Metadata to Files” command as well as the “Automatically write changes to XMP” Catalog Setting to push changes made to photographs from the catalog into individual files (or sidecar files) so that they can be read and utilized within additional applications such as Adobe Bridge.

    When updating my jpeg file with metadata from Lightroom, does this in any way degrade the image in the jpeg file.  I understood that any changes to a jpeg will result in loss of image data and a corresponding degradation of the image.

  • LR/PS - Applying the Lens Blur Filter for Selective Focus | Adobe Evangelists - Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this episode of The Complete Picture, Julieanne Kost shows us how to get great results with the Lens Blur Filter in Adobe Photoshop CS4.
    http://adobe.ly/x3bXus

    After you make the blur over the full picture, you quickly switch to the gradient panel, but you say it so fast that I don't know what you pressed to get there. It sounds like you say tap the "g" key for gradient. But when I do that, the paint bucket tool appears. Help?

    "Automatically update the original when the original comes back online"
    So the .xmp file will be updated with any offline adjustments that were made?
    If this is true, I don't think this functionality is working
    The dates of my .xmp files do not get updated when I plug the external drive back in.

  • Digital Image and File Size

    Other than using an Image editing App such as iPhoto or Photoshop Elements, is there a way to figure out or calculate the file size (in MB) of an image containing xx number of pixels? Thanks, Bob

    Robert:
    To add to Barbara's post, you can set the pixel dimensions and dpi to what you need in PS/PSE and then do a Save As where you'll get a slider to set the quality level and it will tell you what file size that will result in.
    However, as Terence pointed out, some trial and error in exporting out of iPhoto and setting the dimensions to what you want and selecting a different quality level will quickly tell you what you need to achieve those specs.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Lightroom 4 - presets and file sizes

    When i apply a preset to a photo, then export it ... the file i end up with is significanatly smaller than my original file ?  These same presets resulted in as large / or in most cases larger files sizes in previous versions of lightroom ...

    Develop Module Presets have almost nothing to do with file size.
    File Size is a function of Pixel Dimensions, File Format and Compression (if any)
    I suspect you are exporting them with different settings than you were in previous versions of Lightroom.
    What is the file format to which you are exporting? What are the settings for File Type, Quality, Compressoin? What are your Dimensions? How do these settings in Export differ from your previous exporting?

  • Should I use Lightroom or Bridge? | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this episode of the Complete Picture, Julieanne Kost helps you decide which application is right for your workflow by explaining the differences between Lightroom and Bridge for managing images and assets.
    http://adobe.ly/zi93Ct

    Lightroom 4 supports Soft Proof capability that also lets you see an accurate histogram for different output RGB spaces. Lightroom 5 now also supports under 'Edit In' > 'Open As Smart Object in Photoshop.'
    I agree the tutorial was excellent, thank you very much. I would just like to add that there is no reason why you can't use both Lightroom and Adobe Bridge for"digtal asset management." Keyword metadata added in LR can be written to the file or XMP sidecar using CTRL+S keys that will appear in Adobe Bridge and vice-versa. I do most of my InDesign layout image processing using LR, but keep track of ALL my project assests using Bridge. Keywords are added using BOTH applications with no issues to date.

  • LR - Using Lightroom with Two Monitors | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this episode of The Complete Picture, Julieanne Kost shows you how to use 2 monitors to take advantage of Lightroom's dual monitor solution.
    http://adobe.ly/AjnR8P

    This was helpful, Julieanne, however, I have one more question on custom sort order. I am trying to sort a Collection that is made up of photos from several different import files. It's a vacation collection where I have created a different file for each day of the vacation as well as by who took the photos. So i have a file for my daughter's shots, my shots, my son's, etc, to keep things organized. Now that i have selected the "best of" from each original import file, I have created a new User Collection where I am putting them all together. The problem is, my entire Collection won't sort. I want to sort them all by capture time, but LR keeps grouping them by the original file source, and only sorting by capture time within each group. Can you help?

  • Scaling a layer in photoshop CS6 and file size?

    Why should scaling a layer in photoshop CS6, have an effect on the size of the file?

    Out of curiosity, do you have a RAM shortage (e.g., resulting in slow system performance)?  If not, worrying about how Photoshop allocates RAM to maintain its data structures, while academically interesting (well, I find it such), probably doesn't tell us all that much that's truly useful.
    If you ever want to understand more about how Photoshop works under the covers, and you're a dyed-in-the-wool geek like me, a look at the Photoshop SDK can tell you volumes.  Writing plug-in software isn't for the faint-of-heart, but it will tell you tons about how things work.  Funny thing...  I didn't used to think in rectangles...

  • Shedding light on export settings and file size

    I am trying to learn about exporting images and file size. I have a combination of RAW and JPEG images in my library. For the sake of this discussion, I am going to limit this to JPEG's. I need to export my images, so that I can then upload them to an external photo processing site like Kodak.com. I was going to export versions of my images because I have made adjustments to many of them. I was going to choose the top level preset of "JPEG - original size." For the sake of example, the file that I try exporting this way has a file size (in Aperture) of 1.94 MB. After exporting it (with a DPI of 72) and a color profile of sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (I am not sure what the significance of the DPI and color profiles are either), I get an exported image with a file size of 4.6 MB. When I export the master image, I get a file size of 2.0 MB. I'm completely confused and at a loss as to what is going on here.
    Can someone please shed some light on how to go about exporting images so that I can be certain that I am exporting the best quality image possible.
    Also, and possibly more importantly, I export image files to sites like MobileMe Galler, Flikr and Phanfare, etc, for the purpose of archiving my images and now I am not sure if the files I am exporting are of the optimal most quality they can be. Do these settings have any bearing on the images that are being sent to my archival folders?
    Thanks in advance for any input on this important topic.

    This confusion is because of the way Jpg files handle data. Jpg is a kind of file that compresses data to achieve a balance between image quality and file size. The jpg file that your camera saves to disk is also compressed, that's why the difference in size between a 2 MB jpg and the same image in Raw is for example 18 MB.
    Jpg is a lossy compression format, every time you save a jpg some compression is applied, say after editing in Photoshop. Aperture must be reading your jpg masters to export jpg files to disk, so the difference in size should be the compression quantity applied to the newly created jpg file. I could have a 1 MB jpg file previously compressed with a quality level of 7, but if I export it at a compression quality of 10, the file could easily become a 2 MB file. The problem is quality doesn't increase with file size when the original file is a jpg.
    Also some files include a preview image inside the file, increasing the final file size. The color profile embedded should't increase size by much, since most camera jpg files already include a color profile embedded (color profiles tells computers to display color consistently between applications and peripherals like printers. sRGB is widely used for images published on Internet).
    As for the images you are sending to the archival folder, I would suggest you to export the masters, instead of exporting a new jpg file from an already compressed jpg master.
    I know this is a complex subject so I hope I haven't confused you.

  • How do I add video in my Photoshop images and graphics? I need it to play in Adobe Acrobat when I'm done.

    I designed an electronic press kit and I need the video to play on it. I'm getting the video link from YouTube so I was wondering how to make that happen. I already tried putting the YouTube link behind the video layer so it can be clickable in Acrobat, but when I sent it to the online magazine forum there was a lot of lines in it. I saw this YouTube video on how to do it but it requires ImageReady TUTORIAL-Add video to your Photoshop images and graphics! - YouTube. I don't have the Photoshop to ImageReady button in my PS....HELP! How do I get this done?!?!?

    That tutorial is extremely old. ImageReady was last used in CS2. In other words that program no longer exists.
    Luckily video made its way into photoshop so you can easily import your video into photoshop.
    Instead of an animation panel, it is now called the timeline panel. When the panel first opens it will ask you if you want an animation or a movie. Choosing movie will reduce the number of layers required down to just 2, one for the movie and one for the TV image. Since this is a timeline, you can split the timeline to remove any portion of the video you do not want or need to add an effect to that area of the timeline. Each time you split the video, it will move it to a new layer for you.
    You can still export as an animated gif by using the File>Save As dialog box. or You can export as a movie and choose another video format. Which format and codec you can choose will depend on how many other video apps of Adobe's you also have installed.

  • InDesign Transparency Effects - Problems with Image Quality and File Size

    Hello,
    We are experiencing new problems exporting InDesign files to PDF.
    To summarize, though our largest workflow is to create files for offset printing, we also deliver our work to PDF for mounting on a website so our clients can download directly from the web. Our new problem is Transparency Effects, and creating a PDF that will both have a high quality (or resolution), and be a small file size.
    We are working with multiple page documents (24 to 48 pages), and would very much like to work with InDesign Transparency Effects. However, after spending much time testing a variety of PDF types, we are finding there is a radical difference between quality and file size. I was curious if anyone has had these problems, and if there is a simple answer. InDesign is an incredible program that allows us to design on the fly with Transparency Effects, but, if we are going to experience these problems, we will have to eliminate these wonderful tools.
    Can you help me or lead me to information online that will help.
    Thank you,
    Lain

    Please don't post in multiple forums. Your question has nothing to do with the PDF language and specifications, but rather PDF workflow or InDesign. I've responded to your other posting and am closing this thread.

  • Photoshop Meta Data File Sizes

    I am using meta data "description" menu to add meta data to web images.
    The basics:
    title
    description
    keywords
    copyright
    Thats is about it for my application....so far and like I say it is just for web images at this point.
    At any rate to me surprise I did not realize how much the meta data added to file size.
    I had assummed it was minimal but in fact that is not the case. Meta data ends up adding a lot.
    Question:
    So is there a way in Photoshop to see what the final file size will be with the meta data included as I have found, so far, is the image itself file size when I view the
    "Saving for Web & Devices" menu screen.
    Also tried the "Info" menu and neither indicate the meta data additons ito an images file size.
    One of the reasons is, of course, that I would like to get as many keywords in there as possible, as an example lets say this was the logo or site's header and they have a lot of different products.
    The more keywords the better the SEO results will be. I am sure this statement in itself is disputable but as of now 5/2013 it appears that way as far as SE's are concerned.
    Tested this extensively and the result were remakable, but that is another story.
    Any help or links to other infomration will be
    greatly appreciated
    thank you

    I new that was a big mistake saying it that way.
    I was focused on the file size issue.
    Trying to use more efficient effective keywords for an image that represents several products.
    As a simple example let's say the site focused on pencils, pens, and paper clips.
    So just using one of those keywords or even just two of them would be misleading to the site visitor.
    So in my opinion using all three would be most effective.
    I don't intend to use red pens, black pens, purple pens, metal paper clips, plastic paper clips, colored paper clips, etc.
    But that is not my point anyway. What a pain in the *** it will be to try this, save it, try that, save it, blah, blah, blah,etc.
    Thank you very muich for taking the time to respond and KNOW that I greatly appreciate your advise.
    You confimred my suspicions.
    I did find a PS CS5 Plug-in that would supposedly make this task easier but i am very suspicous, won't waste my time.
    Took a copy of the default "raw data" from the "File Info" menus and pasted that into BBEdit (XML or whatever) and the file size increased by about 3.5k with just the default "raw data", whoa.
    So with experimetation, as you suggest I may get and idea of size more or less.
    I was hoping I was making it harder than it was but Adobe has not responded either.
