LR3 Export jpg File Size Inaccurate

I have a CR2 file 4752 x 3168 and 22.22 MB that I want to export to jpg. I select resolution of 72 with dimensions of 1024 x 683 (largest size of side is 1024) with a file limit of 150KB. I get a file that is 155 KB with the indicated dimensions/resolution. I set the maximum file size to 130 KB and get a file that is 155 KB. I have to set the limit at 100KB to keep the file size under 150KB. I can do the same thing in CS5 using the Save to Web without any problems.
It should not be that difficult to convert and resize an image for web imports limits.

Thank you. Maybe they will get everything corrected before they release 3.2 for production.

Mike

Reduce jpg. file size

a website requires jpg. file size to be reduced to 5000kb. i'm at 1.1mb. how do i reduce it to the required size?
rsvp...

5000kb is 5 times larger than 1.1 MB
Anyway: File -> Export. In the resulting dialogue "Size" refers to the dimensions of the photo (length by breadth) and Jpeg Quality refers to the file size. Lower Quality means smaller file size.

How to reduce jpg file size, not pixel dimensions?

I am preparing images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one about gifs, and one about jpgs.
My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired pixel dimensions at 600 dpi
That gives me a crisp small image. then I either use it as is if the file size is low enough (I try for under 600 kb) or convert it to a gif with the save for web and devices tool.
So here are my 2 questions (I will count this solved with either answer)
1) When I convert to a gif I have the 4 boxes: one with original size, the other 3 with options but often the options are too low res for me How do I change my 3 options to start at a higher gif res?
2) If I try to reduce the file size of the jpg in the image size box I set the resolution lower ( 400, 300), which lowers the pixel dimensions and the filesize, but I don't want to cahnge the pixel dimensions. And If I reset the pixel dimensions back to the size I want them, even though it is a lower resolution the file size doesn't change. How to reduce jpg file size using only the resolution, not pixel dimensions? PS I have tried messing with checking and unchecking the 3 little boxes( scale styles, constrain proportions, and resample) but nothing has worked.

Gif is not a great filetype, especially if you want a crisp image. What are your pixel dimensions?
For web, it makes no difference what the dpi is, only the final pixel dimensions so once you have that as you want, use 'Save for Web and Devices' and you can lower the quality - 100% being max and 0% being lowest. I wouldn't save anything below 55%. For a 600kb image, your dimensions must be rather big.

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.

Iphoto increases jpg file size

Hi,
I've first noticed that iPhoto is re saving the AutoRotated images when importing them. I've realized this after seeing a lot of pictures in the Modified folder, when I've actually haven't done any editing on them...
But, more importantly, the JPG file size of the rotated image increased considerably. I've looked at the metadata with the exiftool and found that iPhoto is saving the JPG using the Big-endian byte order. I suspect this is the cause of the increased file size.
A concrete example:
mifoto0342.JPG 2986371
mifoto0342_iphoto.jpg 3765579
- Pancho

All other things being equal, the endianness of the EXIF will not affect the file size.
There must be something else that is changing in the file. Either the image is being recompressed (god forbid), or lots of metadata is being added (more likely).

.jpg file size preview quit working

Using CS5 extended (v.12.0.1x32) in Windows 7 Entp (64bit): My save-as dialog has quit showing a preview of .jpg file size regardless of where the quality slider is set. This feature was working fine, and just seemed to quit. Now all I get is the short, horizontal line in place of a number, and no matter how long I wait, no file size number appears.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
ACB

Thank you very much for the suggestion. Unfortunately the problem persists.
Turning PS CS5 off and back on -- problem still present
Delete preferences file (via CTRL+SHIFT+ALT at startup) -- problem still present
Delete preferences file (xx...xx.psp) via search and delete -- problem still present
Reboot of OS -- problem still present
Roboot of OS, followed by steps above, followed by Reboot -- problem still present
Excellent idea... I hadn't thought of it; I wish it had worked. I'm open to any other suggestions.
Thanks,

Problems with exporting .jpg file in Indesign CS3

Hello! I've used Indesign to create a memory book I would like to now place in another program to have printed (blurb is the company I'm using). Now that I have created the spreads I need to export each page individually as .jpg files, so that I can place them in to this other program to have them printed. (The program does not read .pdf files...they have to be .jpg). I exported each page and noticed that about 20 out of 90 have pages that have black bars over some of the pictures. I'm not sure how to remedy this problem and have tried changing some settings but unsuccessfully so. I've also had problems with Indesign crashing when I've tried to export the entire book as a .pdf. Thanks for the help!

I think I've seen that reported before, but don't remember if an answer was found.
HOWEVER, InDesign's jpeg export leave a lot to be desired under any circumstances, and the best method is to export a good PDF (Use one of the presets intended for printed output) then open that in Photoshop using appropriate settings (if you have body copy sized type, I'd recommend using 600 ppi to keep it realtively crisp, but the printer will probably complain about the size of the file) then save as a high quality jpeg in whichever color profile is recommended by the printer.
I know you said you had some trouble exporting the whole book as PDF, but maybe we can solve that if you give some more details.

Why the exported JPG file looks like completely black?

I've already exported a PDF file by Indesign, but when I exported it to JPG file (by Acrobat), the JPG looks like almost compeletely black. But When I exported it to PNG, or Open this JPG by PS, and save it again, the image looks like normal (no black). This is PDF creating problem ( by indesign) or JPG creating problem (by Acrobat)?

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
You can try to search for a theme that looks better for you or maybe a solid persona with a suitable color.

RAW Conversion to JPG file size question

I'm fairly new to Lightroom and have noticed when I convert from RAW to JPG my approx. 8MB RAW files become approximately 2-3MB JPG files. I have the program set to convert to JPG at the highest possible quality. I've had clients ask about the file size and would like to be able to explain this to them in simple terms but I first need to understand why this is the case myself! When I used a different processing program the converted files were only slightly smaller than the originals. Please explain!
Thanks!

It depends on the quality settings you use. JPEG files have I think 12 quality settings, with 12 being pretty big, and 8-10 being reasonable compromises.
This is lossy compression, so data is thrown away. The quality setting determines how much info is thrown away.
Only thing you can really do is export at a few quality settings and compare them, to see if YOU can see the difference.
For me, I don't really care about minimizing file size so I always choose highest quality.

Exported media file size issues Sometimes one size, Sometimes another without making any changes in FCPX?

Hi there
I'm having some strange issues with files sizes from
Share>Export Media
I'm not changing anything about the video (just moving an audio track forwards and backwards ever so slightly to try and get it to the correct timing), nor am I changing anything about the way I export the video.
I am always using the EXACT same settings
Sometimes finder states my video is 1.15GB, sometimes its states its 3.8GB
But then when I close Finder down and then go back into Finder again to find the file it states its gone from 1.15GB to 3.8GB
I'm not sure if this is a error with my system or Final Cut Pro X?
By the way I'm running 10.0.5
Thanks

Bob,
Well, the issue has gone to press and I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and CS5. Initial tests show that the problem still exists, and that it is related to the XML tags. The problem occurs both with legacy (CS4) documents and documents created from scratch in CS5. As I mentioned before, it only seems to happen when overrides are applied to paragraph styles.
Here is a sidebar as exported from InDesign. Overrides were applied to the two headlines to modify color, point size and baseline shift:
The file with XML tags, packaged and opened in InCopy CS5:
The same file with XML tags removed, packaged and opened in InCopy:
OK. Now is when things start to get really interesting.
I thought perhaps that exporting the InDesign file as an IDML document, then reopening it, might perhaps fix the problem. But, no. In fact, when I reopened the IDML file in InDesign, the font styles were broken in _exactly_ the same places as they were in InCopy. Apparently, whatever problem InCopy is having with the XML tags is being duplicated by the IDML export. (Do these processes share the same file format?)
For example, here is a title page from the magazine as a screen grab in InDesign. Overrides were applied to the top headline on a line-by-line basis:
The same file, exported as an IDML file and reopened in InDesign:
As with InCopy, when the XML tags are removed, the IDML file reopens in InDesign just fine. Unfortunately, removing the XML tags is not a option. We need them to repurpose the content after it goes to press.
This is a real bug, and for us it's a serious one. I'm surprised it hasn't come up before. Is there any way to draw this to Adobe's attention? I'd be more than happy to share any of these files if that would help.

JPG file size differences in ACR and PS

Camera: Nikon D80
Photoshop: CS3 Extended v.10.0.1
ACR: version 4.3.1
Saving from ACR, Q=9 -> 1,2Mb
Saving from ACR, Q=10 -> 1,8Mb
PS, Q=11 (no thumbnail) -> 3,1Mb
PS, Q=11 (with thumbnail) -> 3,1Mb (no difference)
PS, Q=12 (no thumbnail) -> 5,8Mb
PS, Q=12 (with thumbnail -> 5,8Mb (no difference)
Save for Web, Q=90: 3,7Mb (larger than PS/11)
Save for Web, Q=100: 5,8Mb (same as PS/12)
1.) Why ACR saves much smaller files?
2.) Why there isn't difference when saving with thumbnail or not?
3.) Why the different methods?
4.) Is any of them better? If yes: why the other? If not: why does it exist?
Saving from ACR produces much smaller files than any other known RAW converter. I've tried Bibble, Lightroom, CaptureNX, DxO and all of them created nearly the same size as Photoshop does. So the most important question: why ACR creates so small JPG files?
Thanks in advance!

Huhh,
the question isn't stupid, just seems a little bit strange in my point of view. But you're right, i must confess. So halfway i am the stupid, not the question (and not the software).
But when i choose 'maximum' in ACR it gives me the 10, and i thought maximum is the maximum. For me it tells about the highest possible quality. There is no value bigger than the maximum.
I've never realize that in PS the way is exactly the same like in ACR! In PS the maximum is 10 too!! I'm always enter the value by the keyboard and never choose a preset. And in PS there's a slider showing the full scale and the entered value, so on that i can see that there's life after the maximum. in ACR the missing slider suggested me that 10 is the top level. But now i've entered 11 and 12 and gave the same sizes as i gave from PS with 11 and 12.
So i can conclude that the GUI of ACR isn't perfect (OK, i *must* now it uses the same engine/values like PS), but the method behind the scenes is perfect, like in PS. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the very fast answer!

Exported mp3 file size is huge!

Does anyone know how to control the size of an exported song? For a 5 minute track I'm getting a 60Mb MP3!! I'm guessing this is done by setting the a different bit rate for the exported song but can't find any options in Garageband to do this.
With such huge file sizes it makes it difficult to share the song through my website.

No, you're not getting a 60 MB MP3, but a 60 MB AIFF file, and that's the regular size for uncompressed audio files. The bitrate in GB is fixed, and you wouldn't want to change it. Instead, convert the file into an MP3 or AAC in iTunes.
(Come back if you need help with doing that.)

InDesign - Export PDF file size

Hey everyone. I use InDesign to create my resume for job apps and whatnot. I've found that many corporate sites only accept file sizes under a certain limit (usually 500kb or smaller). My resume is usually around 590-610kb. Is there any way that I can reduce the file size without losing significant quality, or even any?
Cheers.

OK, so this sounds like you don't have a Creative Suite package, or perhaps you are using Creative Cloud and didn't install Acrobat Pro.
The free Adobe Reader will not help you to optimize a PDF, you need the full, paid, Acrobat application. Uwe's suggestion to distill might get you a smaller PDF, but again, without Acrobat you won't have Distiller. There are a few freeware Distiller clones that would probably work for plain text, but I doubt there's much that can be done to bring the size down on a file that has nothing but text in it without removing the non-graphic disposables like metadata, and the embedded page thumbnails, which requires the optimizer.
It occurs to me that one reason your exported PDF might be large is that ID always embeds fonts unless they are restricted. If you are using common system fonts that you know your viewer will have, you can distill PDF without embedding fonts and save a couple of bytes. I just pulled up a random page from a student paper, which has about seven fonts in use. The usage audit says they total a bit over 2mb.

Elements increases JPG file size - case # 0181346249

I just asked this of Adobe. Couldn't find anything this specirfic in the forums, anyone have anything on this? Thanks in advance. Lee
~~~~~~~~~~~~
On/about 12/4/09 I upgraded Elements from 6 to 8. Since that date I have discovered that the file size for all JPG files managed by Elements has been increased by 5304, 5309 or 5310 bytes. This has complicated my backup scheme, now the backup program wants to replace all said files, in excess of 16,000 pictures.
What is Elements changing?
Is this documented?
The attached JPG shows the original file on right, the Elements managed file on left. The far right column shows the file size increase.

It may be that you have the Auto-Analyzer set to run automatically, and it has added some additional metadata (EXIF) to each of your files.
The PSE 8 Auto-Analyzer has some severe problems, and I recommend that you never run it. It will corrupt your map locations, split your video clips into "scene groups" that are hard to get rid of, modify the date/time of every file, crash frequently, make your computer very sluggish, and litter your folders with temporary files:
