LR - PS - LR Compression Issue

Hi,
I recently started a workflow of processing RAWs in Lightroom, doing further edits in Photoshop and then finalizing (edits) again in Lightroom.
My problem is once I save the PSD (flattened) or TIFF file in PS and bring it into LR and then do a final save/export in LR it compresses the file no matter what! I've turned off all compression and exported as both PSD and TIFF formats. My PSD or TIFF file size going into LR is 320MB but no matter what I do it is always exported from LR down to 125MB - PSD and TIFF both.
Please help!

Thanks for the response Hal,
Your answer got me thinking and I figured it out! I was flattening the PSD files and even tried making a TIFF and importing to LR, but always got the same result on the final output...
It was the additional Alpha channels I had made for selection purposes...6 additional channels apparently = 200MB!
Once I deleted the extra channels and saved the PSD again it came out to 125MB before sending to LR.

  • GZIP Compression Issue in Weblogic 8.1

    Has anyone experienced issues with gzip compression filtering in 8.1?
    After about 2 months of dev. and testing with the filter, a bug has been found
    in our portal, and I have traced it back to the filter that I downloaded from
    dev2dev code and utilities.
    It is strange. The only time I see an issue is when a user clicks the "back button"
    in the browser itself to go back to a previous page, AND then clicks a link (for
    example) in a portlet that is tied to an action in a jpf for that portlet. The
    error only happens for actions in a portlet that are local to that portlet (no
    forwarding to other portlets or anything fancy)...just pure "local internal forwards."
    If you do this, USING THE BACK BUTTON to get back to this page with the portlet,
    when you click the action, you are actually taken to the page where you were when
    you clicked the back button.
    I have re-created this is simple portals that have no content, so I know it is
    not something else I introduced.
    Any ideas? Maybe it is the filter-mapping pattern I am using??? I am currently
    mapping on *.portal, but this is the only situation that seems to break.

    For those interested, I have some updates on this subject and someone out there sent me a mail asking if I ever found anything out.
    Basically, when I encountered this issue the first time, I was working on a SP2 Portal. We were having numerous small bugs like this one with SP2 that centered around the back button or refresh button. BEA gave us a "super patch" back in July or so that when applied to our SP2 project, fixed our issue. I have sense moved onto SP3, and I did not see the compression issue (so I think SP3 must have the patches correctly setup...like I would assume it would).

  • Gzip compression issues from using a proxy?

    Hello I am unable to load some websites now from suspected gzip compression issues? I have been using a proxy and now my firefox browser is messed up Plz Help [email protected]
    Thanks

    It is possible to autenticate to a proxy server, but the question is what tye of authentication your proxy is carrying out . "Basic" or "digest".If it is Basic then you can use Base64 authentication scheme. You have to first set the System property variable to find proxy server (like port and IP Address)

  • Cube compression issue

    Hello Gurus,
    we have some strange behaviours with cube compression.
    All requests are compressed, but in F table we still have some records.
    The same records are stored in E table too, but with BEx query execution we can see correct result.
    If we execute query in debug on RSRT, with SQL code display, the query reads only from F table or aggregates.
    How it is possible?
    We just provide to insert the COMPNOMERGE object in RSADMIN table, but only after the first compression. Do you think thath with a initialization of cube and a new compression with COMPNOMERGE object could solve our problem?
    Could you help us?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Well, but that's the whole point - the request ID!
    That's why we do compression for at all - to merge together the data for the same key figures if they exist in both tables.
    It's completely normal to have this situation.

    Well, obviously there was some other implicit restriction that lead to the selections made by OLAP.
    Maybe the request read from the F-Facttable was neither rolled up nor compressed.
    > Very helpful, thanks.
    > Any others suggestions?
    I'd check exactly the status of the requests and where they can be read from.
    You may also try out to disable the aggregate usage in RSRT to see whether or not the data is also read from the E-facttable and check the result of the query.

  • MPEG-2 Compression issue!!

    I’m getting a very a annoying issue when using compressor.
    I have a 04:80 second apple pro res export form final cut, which I am then importing into compressor and applying the SD DVD: best quality 90 mins template so I can burn to a DVD.
    The compression goes through successfully, however when I play the mpeg file through quicktime it takes about 10 seconds to play and says the duration is 2 hours long. The video IS there in the first 5 minutes but it keeps going with a black screen for 2 hours. If I try to burn this to disc any other video before it plays fine but when the track with this file comes it does nothing and restarts.
    I’m using the default DVD settings in compressor and have tried high bit rate and lower but still does the same issue. The apple pro res file seems to have nothing wrong with it. Also, if I cut a fragment of the video and export using FCP and compress that it seems to work fine with the correct duration.
    Not sure what the problem is, any help asap would be great?

    There may be a clip or two somewhere down the Timeline that you're not aware of.  In FCP, with the Timeline window active, set an IN and OUT point for the part you want to export ... then export.   If that doesn't work, try exporting a self-contained movie (File->Export->QuickTime Movie) and see if that plays OK in QuickTime Player 7.  If it does, use that file in Compressor.

  • Bizarre Sound Distortion on Export - Not Newbie Compression issue

    I'm trying out the Flash CS3 demo - OSX. (Using OSX 10.4.10.)
    I've got a slightly complicated timeline with about 8 layers
    and some things alpha fading in and out, and a bunch of sound
    samples being used as timeline sound effects (forget the term, but
    attached to frames not streaming). No scripting.
    The sounds are mostly too long for the amount of time
    allotted to them in the timeline, and cut previous sounds off. I'm
    speculating this might be a possible issue. That is, I have say a 5
    second sound, which has only 3 seconds of time to play, before
    another sound interrupts it in the same timeline layer.
    There are two separate layers of sound playing at the same
    time.
    All the original sounds are imported into the movie as
    44.1/16bit AIFFs. They are mono files (might be another possible
    issue).
    I'm trying to export with quality of 128k MP3. I've been
    trying different variations:
    - setting the compression for the audio files in the
    Library/setting movie export settings to use Library settings
    - setting audio files in the Library to use "default
    compression", and specifying the correct 128k MP3 setting in the
    export settings
    - or both of these (set individually in library, then
    overridden in export settings).
    I've tried with and without the "use mono" setting (both in
    Library files and export settings). (This is a question for me:
    what should be the correct setting for that when the original file
    already is mono?)
    Sometimes everything's great. I test or export the movie and
    the sound is fine.
    Other times I test or export the movie -- with exactly the
    same audio settings as the last time when it worked -- and now get
    unbearably hideous hissing/cracking instead of the correct sound.
    Most dangerously -- I think but haven't quite convinced
    myself -- the same flash export file may sometimes play fine, and
    sometimes play with the distortion. So I'm not sure if this is an
    export issue, Flash player issue, or combination of export doing
    something semi-weird that the player only sometimes chokes on. A
    "bad" export is distorted both in the desktop Flash player that
    comes with the Flash demo, and in a browser with Flash plugin 9 r45
    (OSX).
    GUH!
    And this is the $800 product which is little more than a
    basic text editor for scripting and an animation timeline that
    hasn't gotten updated functionality since 1999.

    This is a peer-to-peer public forum - if you demand
    individual and undivided attention to your issue
    then you can use the official adobe tech support.
    As for your issue...let's go step by step:
    [*The sounds are mostly too long for the amount of time
    allotted to them in the
    timeline, and cut previous sounds off. I'm speculating this
    might be a possible
    issue. That is, I have say a 5 second sound, which has only 3
    seconds of time
    to play, before another sound interrupts it in the same
    timeline layer.*]
    Is this intended? You are having an issue with 5 second
    sounds being cut off after 3 seconds...why
    not place them on different layers to avoid this? I don't
    understand the workflow here.
    [*There are two separate layers of sound playing at the same
    time.*]
    Ok - that makes more sense, so you have 2 layers both
    containing sounds that cut each other off?
    [*All the original sounds are imported into the movie as
    44.1/16bit AIFFs. They
    are mono files (might be another possible issue).*]
    Mono shouldn't matter - but the quality of the original will
    matter - specifically the levels, if
    the overall level is originally too high (or "hot"), then
    clipping will occur once compressed from
    Flash (in some cases).
    [Sometimes everything's great. I test or export the movie
    and the sound is fine.]
    Can you provide the FLA?
    [Other times I test or export the movie -- with exactly the
    same audio settings
    as the last time when it worked -- and now get unbearably
    hideous
    hissing/cracking instead of the correct sound.]
    Never heard of this before - need to see the FLA.
    [And this is the $800 product which is little more than a
    basic text editor for
    scripting and an animation timeline that hasn't gotten
    updated functionality
    since 1999.]
    You may take exception to this but it sounds very much like
    user error or something beyond Flash
    (like an issue with the source audio files). Your opinion is
    subjective but AS3, Flash, Flex is
    hardly "little more than a text editor". True the timeline
    hasn't changed much over the years but
    funny that it is still the king when it comes to animation
    across so many mediums - why fix what
    ain't broken and works so very well for so many worldwide?

  • Audio compression issues in iBooks Author

    Hi - I am having quality issues with audio compression. I have a voice only file. It is fine in the original recording. I have saved to aiff and m4a and dropped both into iBooks widget. The widget "optimizes" it and the resulting sound is full of echo and sounds like repeats of first and last consonants of words. I even thought that my stereo channels might be out of sync, so mixed down to mono. Same sound problems in iBooks.

    Found the root of the problem and a fix
    1. Your audio file is at 48hz 
    2. Convert to 44.1 hz in Logic or any other Digital Audio Workstations
    3. Export to a labeled folder with settings  AIFF or Wave 16bit
    4. From the folder drag and drop audio files in iBooks Author
    IBook Author auto 'opitimizing' can handle that with no glitches or dropouts

  • Avid to IDVD compression issues

    I've been cutting on an Avid then exporting quicktimes to burn dvds in IDVD for it's cool preset menus. I've got everything working, but I'm not satisfied with my picture quality. There seems to be a lot of artifacts and scan type lines that cut horizontally. I've been using H264 compression out of the Avid. My piece is 4min long and it's too large to burn a dvd umcompressed, it comes out to around 5 gigs.
    What is the best compression setting for IDVD?

    Don't compress out of the Avid. Create a QuickTime Reference Movie and send that to iDVD, assuming that QuickTime can play the .OMF's okay. All my stuff is DV and that works fine. If you absolutely must compress, then use DV. But create a reference movie first and see if QuickTime can play it properly (the aspect ratio will be wrong because it will be 720x480 if DV, 720x486 if 601, and QuickTime will display with square pixels). If QuickTime can play it, iDVD can convert it to MPEG-2 for the DVD. Or so they claim. 8-)
    Advice over on the Avid forums seems to be to NOT use the Avid DV codec when transferring to iDVD because of color-space issues (601 vs. RGB or something like that). Also, if you have options for field dominance (I don't remember off hand if you do when setting up a reference movie), go with lower field first.

  • FCE file compression issues

    Hello again.
    With all of your great help, I successfully (well, almost) uploaded my video sample to my website.
    There are a few sticky issues that I was hoping you could help with so I could tweak my settings.
    Here is the info:
    I exported my FCE file as an uncompressed 8-bit file, final size 1.8 gigs for a 1 1/2 minute segment.
    I then compressed in QT, using H.264, frame rate 24, key frame 150, data rate 1200, best quality. Audio ACC 96kbps.
    This gave me a great quality 11 meg file.
    The problem is that the playback outpaces the loading a bit on the website. Any suggestions on settings that won't kill quality?
    The second problem is that my logo is squished a bit..Any ideas?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Jo

    thanks ross...i'm still working on the right settings for all users, so my website is funky right now...it is very frustrating...a 10 MB file shouldn't take so long to load...
    I've been playing around with Flix to convert to flash, but the quality just isn't there...everything looks so crappy....I've tried so many combinations, but all are **** (sorry the cuss) quality...
    HOW ARE ALL THESE WEBSITES GETTING GREAT LOOKING VIDEOS!!!!! I WANT TO KNOW!!!!
    this Flix program is a professional conversion software and should produce okay results...but nope...
    One problem I had with the QT file was that unless you have the latest version on your computer, this video won't play....(for instance on my pc laptop)
    Anyway, check back, there is probably a new file on the site now....
    Thanks for the comments! Jo

  • Render Compression Issue

    I'm editing footage from a Canon 60D, 1080p, and have been editing it at full quality, as it has been functioning quite well thus far. The issue is when I render footage and then export it. While rendering, a loss in quality occurs. Through render compression, the image loses color information and degrades in overall quality. I've checked by render compression settings, which point to my sequence settings. I've included an image of my sequence settings in this post. Any advice? I need to do some color work and can't have the image quality degraded as a result of rendering, or anything else for that matter.

    You kind of have it backwards - H.264 is the very compressed format, Pro Res is the high quality codec.
    The file size is growing because H.264 is highly, highly compressed video. H.264 is designed for image acquisition and delivery, but not editing or post production. When you transcode to ProRes, your are 'unpacking" the video that has been compressed (jammed) together as tightly as possible into blocks of frames -  into distinct frames with a much greater storage of data per frame. This is why many high end cameras, and many DSLR shooters record on devices that use the ProRes codec - it bypasses the tremendous compression of H.264.
    ProRes is a much better codec than H.264, which is why once your material is in ProRes, it will maintain quality as you move through editing and color correction, delivering an excellent quality master file that you can then compress into any delivery codecs you need.

  • RMAN 10g new incremental features compression issue

    Hi,
    I'm testing block change tracking and fast incremental but, come to an issue with compressed level 0 backupsets and uncompressed level 1.
    I've run:
    connect target;
    backup as compressed backupset INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 TAG = WEEKLY DATABASE;
    exit;
    on 500GB database ,and the backupset was about 90GB.
    But now I'm trying :
    RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 FOR RECOVER OF COPY WITH TAG WEEKLY DATABASE;
    Starting backup at 2008-02-20 22:27:34
    allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
    channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=367 devtype=DISK

    no parent backup or copy of datafile 77 found
    no parent backup or copy of datafile 92 found
    no parent backup or copy of datafile 105 found
    and don't know how oracle manage to 'merge' level 0 compressed backup and level 1 uncompressed backup. For me it looks like the level 1 is equal to level 0 .
    BTW that database was not used at all so I was expecting to almost 0 size incrementals.
    The next step should be :
    RECOVER COPY OF DATABASE
    WITH TAG WEEKLY;
    but I've give up as totaly confused :).
    Any explanation would be great.
    There is a lot of myth about new features behaviour.
    Best Regards.
    Grzegorz

    You are mixing 2 independent features , compression and incrementally updated backups. Talking about incrementally updated backups,this is a working script:
    run {
    recover copy of database with tag 'incr_update'';
    backup incremental level 1 for recover of copy with tag 'incr_update' database;
    You don't start the process with 'backup database ..'. How it works:
    In the first run 'recover copy...' does anything,because there's no backup to recover.
    'backup incremental...' creates image copies (not a backupset) of all datafiles,image copies are never compressed.
    In the second run 'recover copy...' still does nothing,because we still have no backup. 'backup incremental...' now creates an incremental backup , that may be compressed or not compressed. I've set 'compressed' as permanent parameter,so it's not included in the command.
    In the third (and all following) run 'recover copy...' now applies the incremental backups taken in the previous run to the image copies. 'backup incremental...' creates a new incremental backup, again this can be compressed or not.

  • SWF compression issues

    I'm using Flash MX 04 Pro and am having issues with SWF
    compression when compiling.
    I have two .FLA which last week compiled to 52k and 83k.
    Today they're compiling to 102k and 172k respectively!!!
    I have not made any changes to the files, publish settings,
    or general Flash settings whatsoever?
    Any ideas why this is happening? Rather urgent as I have
    things that need to go live this afternoon.
    Thanks in advance!

    Alright I take that back. While the compression does make the compiled SWF file a lot smaller, when trying to load time image data I keep getting invalid data errors:
    Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///app.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/24 contains invalid data.
        at flash.display::BitmapData/ctor()
        at flash.display::BitmapData()
    Anyone know what's going on?
    EDIT: I figured it out. Apparently you can't use smoothing when you're using compression or it will crash. That's it. Just remove the smoothing="true" tag and it will load fine. Would've been nice if that was in the documentation somewhere...

  • Adobe Media Encoder - compression issues (.flv) cs6 vs earlier versions

    Hi all, I hope somebody can help.
    This morning I encoded from a 1080p QuickTime .mov file to a 360p .FLV file.
    I have previously used this work-flow with CS4 and CS5.5 and have had great results.
    When I attempted the same thing this morning, for the first time with CS6 Media Encoder, the .FLVs came out glitchy in places (screen shots 1 & 2 attached).
    Thinking it was a process error, I tried several different methods and all yielded the same results.
    So I returned to CS4, thinking it might be a software issue, and "hey presto" no glitches!
    All updates are present and correct from the Creative Cloud/ Adobe Application Manager, so am I missing something?
    Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Lots more encoding to be done this afternoon and would like to use CS6 ME if at all possible.
    Any help would be massively appreciated.

  • HD Video Compression Issue

    I'm looking for information on weather or not Flash CS5 (I currently use Flash 8) can handle HD video compression for web streaming.  I have tried this using Flash 8 but only get an error, however as you might expect Flash 8 does compress standard definition video for web streaming. I have done research on the internet, but really haven't come up with a definite answer except to find references to using Sorenson Squeeze or Final Cut Pro, but I don't want to pay for another Video editing program (currently using Final Cut Express) if I can upgrade Flash and get the HD compression feature.
    Any help and advise would be apreciated. Thanks

    If you're publishing for Flash 9 or higher (which CS5 can do) then you can publish to H.246. I would think that FCE could do that.
    Normally I would say that you could download a trial and see for yourself. But I think because 5.5 has been announced Adobe isn't offering a trial for the next couple of weeks. There were a lot of improvement to the Flash video encoder in CS5. That being said if you really want to do a lot of intense video work you should get the best tools.

  • Having Compression Issues with Exported File

    I started using FCPX and became a big fan. But recently I have switched back to Premiere because of wierd audio compression that happens when exporting. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix? At first I thought maybe it was me, but I imported the exact same file into both Premiere and FCPX and then exported them both as H.264 files. And low and behold, the FCPX file's audio was compressed and sounded bad, whereas the Premiere file sounded great. I really prefere using FCPX, but I won't until I can find a fix to this. PLEASE someone help! Thank you!

  • Compressor 2 compression issues

    I just bought the studio. Everything works well, except compressor 2. When it comes to encoding, it seems to have a problem with transitions, particularly if I use slow motion and several filters. The transitions always looks digitized. I have used a number of the presets and even created custom presets.
    I re-log and captured the footage on another computer still using FC 4.5, DVD Studio 3, and Compressor 1.2. That always seems to work, but these steps just add to a workflow that is already at the breaking point. I want to continue using FC5 and all of the other programs it comes with, but will have to, for the first time, walk away from an Apple product less than enthusiastic, particularly if my projects hinge on quality compressions for DVD burning.
    Oh, yeah. I am using Dual 2gig G5 and shoot normally in SD MiniDV. Sometimes 16:9 aspect ration, but usually 4:3.

    Dear Stephan,
    I had the same exact problem while using FCP 4.5, DVD studio 3. The problem only exists during dissolves, especially between two photos. I talked to several Mac specialists (fcp certified, and dvd studio pro certified) who suggested putting in a compression marker for every dissolves, and instead of using Quicktime Compressor, use COMPRESSOR, and then in the drop down window 60 HIGH QUALITY compression, set your targets and GOOD LUCK. I tried it, retried it, and it seems to be working. I don't notice as much lost pixels between dissolves. It adds more work to put in so many markers. So far it's working. There's a bug in FCP I think and I hope Apple will work it out soon. In the meantime, good luck and thank you for airing your problem b/c I thought I was the only one.
    Best,
    k chen
