LR4 Sizing a photo in export

I seem to have problems sizing an image and exporting. Before, I always cropped and rotated my photos in PS, but as I more and more use LR, I am finding problems.
When I export, I set my sizes W5400 x H3600 for horizontal and LR4 exports at various sizes, cutting short one size. For example I have just gone through a video and checked the correct boxes and still its fails to provide an image exactly at the sizes I want. My latest exports are horizontal 5400x3594 and a vertical 3597x5400...
If I set it at 3600 x 5400 and vice cersa, those parameters are what I set and what I want, no compromise.....is this a LR fault or am I missing something?

Thanks Jim,
I never have checked the "Dont Enlarge" box, during export as i assumed it would change the cropped image to my specific sizes upon exporting....sounds more of a complication than a help.
I have also found a few problems with the crop ratio tool, it seems to unlock on every picture. When i'm working on a batch of images, i'd like it to stay on a ratio of 3:2 but it changes each time...
Sounds like cropping in PS as my long and trusted program of choice. I have custom programmed PS to what I want...
I will keep gnawing at LR until I get it right or give it the elbow in favour of PS and BR..

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto? Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet. But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

I have no idea why you would want to do anything
Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option

Can a photo be exported from aperture in CMYK profile

Can a photo be exported from aperture in CMYK profileas TIFF jpeg PSD etc .?

Yes, in the export dialogue panel pick a TIFF or PSD setting, and then set the colorsync profile selector to a cmyk-profile,
You need to have installed cmyk-profiles, however;
most of my colorsync profiles were installed by photoshop.
You will find the cmyk-profiles in the system library:
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/

I can't rename photos to export after new Photos upgrade! After I edit and got to export, I cannot rename the photo. Please help!

With the new upgrade - Photos - I can't figure out how to rename my edited photos to export. The space is either grayed out or does not give me the option. I spent 30 minutes at the Apple store One-to-One and he couldn't figure it out either. With both my computer and his. He said he couldn't change the description or tag faces. Please tell me step by step how to do this. I cannot post my photos to my blog or Facebook or Pinterest. Thank you very much!

The space is either grayed out or does not give me the option.
Which preset are you using for the export? And which naming scheme do you want?
When you export an edited version as JPEG, you should see these choices:
If you use the option "Use Title", you can change the title before you export the the filename you want to use for the version.
With "Sequential" you can enter a prefix and Photos will add a number.
If all fails, export to a folder on your Desktop and rename the exported files manually.

Cant edit photos after exporting

Hello all. Relatively new to Lightroom here so Im not sure if this is a dumb question or not.
I imported about 220 photos and worked on just about 20 to 25 of them. I then selected those 25 from my collection and exported them to a folder on my PC so I could then import them into Picasa.
After doing that, I returned to Lightroom to edit more from that collection but could no longer do so. I couldnt make any changes to the ones I previously worked on, but more importantly, I couldnt make any changes to any of the ones I hadnt even touched yet. When you export photos from a folder, does Lightroom automatically prohibit you from changing anything else? It seems the only way I can bypass this problem is just to delete the folder and re-import the photos from my camera again, creating a new folder.
Am I missing something? How can I go back and edit photos after exporting? Can it be done?
Thanks!

Hi Judy
On the bottom left of the left tool bar there are two buttons. Import and Export. I exported my photos using the Export button. When you do that, the screen that comes up prompts you to set up an export location on your C drive. So I exported the photos to a folder I set up.
I did not set up a catalogue or export any catalogue.
I seriously doubt that Picasa had any effect on the folders in Lightroom. The two software application are totally separate. You dont directly transfer photos from LR to Picasa. You need to export from LR first to a location on your PC then Import from that file on your PC into LR. So I dont see how Picasa could effect the photos that are in LR.

Photo's exported to DVD, won't import just partially

iPhoto seems to make his own selection of my pictures...
I imported pictures in iPhoto 6 (on a iMac 1,83 GHz, Intel Cure), made a selection, put them in albums and exported them on a DVD.
Of the 2102 photo's exported, iPhoto 6 (on a iBook G4) leaves out 770, randomly distributed over the different albums.
I can't see a pattern and had it with three different DVD's now. Both Macs use Mac OS 10.4.9
I'm curious if anybody nows a solution

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
(Credit to Old Toad for this one).
If that doesn't work, select one or two of the affected pics and then try and open them fpr editing? Does this work orkay? Or right click in the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and select 'Show File': Does it open a finder window? Is the file selected?

Resizing a photo on export

I am trying to resize a photo so that it will print as an 8x10 without losing any of the image due to cropping. I set the image sizing in export to be a width and height of w=8 and h=10. When i export it, i still get the same crop that it would have if i uploaded an un-resized photo. I am uploading the file to Mpix.com.
Am i doing this wrong or what? I can't get my photo to print in an 8x10. I know about my camera taking a 2x3 ratio photo.
Thanks,
Brian

In the print screen, select print to jpg. Setr the custom file dimensions to 8 X 10. Set sharpening, media type, ppi and colour management according to the paper being printed on (if you don't have a paper profile use sRGB). Set the grid at 1 row and 1 column. Pull your Cel size to maximum. You will now see your print uncropped as it will be on 8 X 10 paper with borders. If you wish to see how it will apear if you filled the paper select zoom to fill. You can also set borders etc. here.
When finished print to file and send the jpg file to the printer.

Aperture Photo JPEG Export Size

I have a question regarding the file sizes of photos exported from Aperture. When exported the photos seem to be almost double the file size of the original photo imported to aperture and the size shown in Aperture. For example, I have a photo that is 2736x3648 sized at 3.51MB in Aperture. I export with JPEG set to original size, JPEG quality is set to 12. The resulting file size exported is 7.1MB. The resolution of the exported photo is also 2736x3648 so I don't think it's a DPI issue. I've done some experimentation with the JPEG quality and the results are still strange. 10 gives me a 2.2MB file, 11 gives me a 2.6MB file and 12 as mentioned previously is 7.1MB. Seems like a huge jump so I suspect I'm missing something. The other sizes being smaller than the original also seems strange.
I've looked at the exported photos at 10,11&12 and can clearly see the detail lost. The darker parts get darker and drop the detail in the photo. I'm very reluctant to lose quality so ideally would go with 12.
I know there are a few questions like this on here already but none of them seem to have a good answer. Just wondering if anyone has figured it out?
Thanks in advance.

Terence, you've helped me on a lot of things, so I guess I am going to further ask for clarification....
I have recently been trying to use Aperture solely (and pretty much abandon iPhoto.). But, when I say export a file to jpeg (whether it is currently a RAW or JPEG file, I am concerned about my settings-- by default, the setting "export jpeg in original size" has settings as 72 dpi. I have changed that to 300dpi. Is this why I have 15-20MB files? Is this the correct setting? I don't want any printer to have a false representation of how much data is there. Nor do I want to lose any data either.
I could theoretically take any photo and probably even say 4500dpi, and the file would be exaggerated that much more. I go to print, and the print center sees there is plenty of resolution there, but in reality, there is no more data there than the extent to which the file provided. You can't create resolution that is going to improve on what your camera or the minor adjustments you do to it to improve it. I say export it at whatever maximum dpi it has or multiply that dpi by 100, and no matter what, the image is going to print the same no matter how much data (or how large the box is).
Also, if I open my library in iPhoto and tell it to export the photo at original size, the file is smaller than the file exported via Aperture (thus my concern I am providing more detail than what is really there) and providing an exagerrated resolution. Your help is greatly appreciated. I am providing a disk to someone, and this is affecting whether I give them one or two disks due to the file sizes. (And, of course, as is, the file sizes are harder to work with if you want to email. So, if they don't have an email program that auto-condenses, they may be frustrated not having smaller files if they choose to email any.)
Thanks in advance!

Photo frame export from iphoto

i bourght a digital photo frame recently but am having trouble exportin from my iphoto library.
I need to export to the native resolution of the frame which is 480x234 to optimise the number of photos I can fit on the memory card (any larger is just a waste of memory because the frame shrinks the oversized picture to the frame resolution).
The problem is that when I uncheck the "full-size image box" I can't enter the desired size in the fields below, I get 480x380 as iphoto tried to preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio.
is there any way around this? can I change the aspect ratio to 16:9?
any help please?
cheers
Steve

Steve:
You can get exactly what you want by using Resize! as follows:
1- create a new folder on the desktop and drag your chosen photo into it.
2 - launch Resize! and under the Box resizing section put in your dimensions. You can also set the quality level for the files also in order to reduce the overall file size even more to what you want. I found that Decent (60) was plenty good enough for the digital frame that I have. It took my 2272 x 1704 files (at 1.7-2MB each) down to 480 x 234 and around 20KB each in size. That helps the frame read and transition the files much quicker.
The application creates a second folder with the resized images. So you can experiment with several settings to get what works best for you.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Digital photo professional - export JPG from RAW

Hello!
i have a problem with program Digital photo professional, when i want export images from RAW format to JPG.
The problem is, that quality of image is much more worse, then in RAW format in DPP. JPG looks blurred and fuzzy.
IMAGE LINK:
Please check image, on the left side is print screen from RAW in DPP, on the right is exported JPG from DPP.
I want export JPG with the same quality as i see in RAW
Is there anybody to help me?
Thanks a lot.
Vit

1. open *.CR2 (raw file) in DPP
2.file/convert and save
3.type of file - EXif JPEG (JPG, JPEG)
4.image quality 10
5.output resolution 350dpi
6.check - embed icc profile in image
There are not another settings, so i dont know, why has exported JPG so bad quality...
When i open *.CR2 file in PS5, i see the same bad quality as exported JPG from DPP, but i read, that PS5, cannot
open CR2 file in best quality, because PS5 doesnt have all function, that have DPP.
I tested it on two PC, so problem is not only on my PC...
Thanks.

Sorting photos after export into date tree

I recently migrated from Linux to OS X and I have one problem: I want to sort my pictures and movies (from cameras and ipad) using the exif info into a datetree with the form:
2013/08/
(YYYY/MM)
and the file name cotaining the date and time with second the picture was taken:
2013.08.14_13.15.59_THE.ORIGINAL.FILENAME.ORIGINALEXTENSION
(YYYY.MM.DD_hh.mm.ss_ORIGINALFILENAME.ORIGINALEXTENSION)
This was easily possinble under Linux, but I can't find any program which is doing this under OS X. Free solutions are prefered, but if it is reasonably priced, it is OK as well.
I am not a prodfessional photographer, so I can't justify an expensive tool for this.
Any suggestions?
After the initial I would use iPhoto as a referenced photo manager and not copy the images into the library.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rainer

Thanks a lot for your extensive reply. I will comment to some points below.
Somehow I don't manage tio insert my comments in the quotations without inserting the whole previous message and deleting the unwanted blocks?
Terence Devlin wrote:
This might do the job for you
http://www.maczentrisch.de/shootShifter/
but honestly, if your final destination is iPhoto then it's all just making work for yourself.
I offer the following simply as a comment on your planned work method, not a criticism, but based on a lot of experience managing photos, using iPhoto and Macs.
The reason why I want to use a referenced mode is that I want to share the photos with non-OS X computer (Linux) and that I am not to sure that I will stay with iPhoto / Aperture. So I want to keep the pictures in an accessible format for other programs.
1. Don't run iPhoto in Referenced Mode. It's only storing up issues for yourself, making unnecessary work to exactly zero benefit.
This
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
has more on that.
I see the problems, but I don't see any other way to share the pictures with non-OS X users. If you have any ideas, I will gladly try them out. Regular exports do not sound to appealing to me.
In addition, I am not clear what happens when I change the quality setting for jpeg to highest, and the original image is in e.g. normal - the conversion can not result in a better photo then the original, as the information is already lost. I therefore assume, that, when I convert it back to the original quality setting, I will again have lost information - so this export is lossy, even when I select the highest quality. What I would like to have is "original plus the metadata".
2. Date and Time is pretty much the most limited way of organising photos that there is. Once you get past a couple of thousand images, unless you have a remarkable memory indeed, you might as well use random number strings. It tells you nothing about the content of the photo, and I don't know of anyone who wants a photo - any photo - taken at 1pm in July 6th 1997, but I do know a lot of folks who want their favourite photo of their dog, or car or whatever.
Agreed - but this is a matter of preference. To find the dog, I have then e.g. iPhoto.
3. You're thinking in terms of a file based workflow. iPhoto is a data based workflow. It replaces the finder for everything you need to do with your photos. Everything. Simply, if you use iPhoto you never interact with your images except with or via iPhoto. That sounds pretty limiting but it's not, as iPhoto is integrated throughout the OS. The best example I can suggest for comparison is the Contacts (or AddressBook). All of your addresses stored in one place, available to every app on your Mac for whatever use you might have. Well that's iPhoto - all your photos stored in one place, available to every app on your Mac for whatever use you might have. Where you store the files really doesn't matter - you never interact with them anyway.
You'll only cause yourself issues and confusion. Again, think of having your Contacts in the address book, and also in a text file. Edit the text file and the Contacts app is out of date, and vice versa.
If you're concerned that you might want to migrate away from iPhoto at some point then the Export command means you can get put anything you put in, in a many different formats.
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
I read the links, and I see the difference between data and file based workflow, but I am thinking about keeping the quality of the photos AND to keep, if possible, the metadata. Also, sharing (at the maximum quality) has to be easy, for which I don't see an easy solution when using the data based approach.
I think I have to go with your statement - "If you really feel that you need to directly access the files for some purpose, then the best option is to not use iPhoto." - yes, I do feel the need as I don't se another way.
Under Linux I was using digikam, and I would argue, it also uses the data approach, but stores the photos in an accessible file structure, the metadata in a database, but it can written to the file itself or to sidecar files.
So I don't think that the data based approach itself is problematic, but that the solution of iPhoto to use an internal incomprehensive folder structure to store the images is the problem - but this is a different question.
Additional question: When I use a referenced mode, iPhoto really does not asks me if I delete a photo if I want to delete it from the HDD as well (mentioned in one thread you referenced)?
Thanks,
Rainer

How to preserve or embedded history in photo when exporting?

Does anyone know how to preserve a photo develop history when exporting to new folder so that editing can continue?

Thanks Jim and DJ - perhaps my process needs to change. I use a folder structure within each photo shoot. Capture (for all raw files) - Master (for working photos that are being edited / developed) - and finally an Output folder for photos being printed or posted to web etc. I export to each. I understand that you can always go back to the original raw capture or any point in the history but sometimes I want to compare different editions of develop settings for an image against each other while preserving both. When using a copy of an image the develop settings only start at time of copy and likewise when using an exported image the history starts from the export going forward
What I want to do is take photos from the various Master folders that have develop changes to them and move or copy them to another folder; as example a "2015 Art Show folder" for an upcoming photo exhibit etc. and then do additional develop changes specific for the Art Show - being able to see the previous develop settings would be useful during this edit phase and you could continue to work in the one folder without needing to hunt around to numerous folders all over Lightroom
I hope that explains what I am trying to do, I appreciate any ideas you may have
Thanks,
Paul

Photo slideshows exported to 1080p using Quicktime

I'm looking to export a High Definition quicktime file of my photos. I'm testing now so when blu-ray or HD-DVD discs become available, I can start archiving my thousands of digital photos.
While the overal look of what I've done isn't terrible, it's still not quite as clear as when my pictures play standard slideshow programs.
Another issue that I think is affecting the detail, is that the aspect ratio is slightly skewed which appears to be twisting my image thereby causing a blurry image.
Am I missing something, or is there a simple solution? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

QuickTime Pro isn't licensed to export audio from MPEG 1 or 2 files.
