Photo File Size and Photoshop processing
On previous discussion, Steve Grisetti noted that problems with burning are sometimes associated with photo file size. The post stated that Photoshop Elements has a batch processing selection that can resize photos all at once. I when to Photoshop, selected process multiple file, selected source, save in same as source, and resize images 1000. When I viewed my photos after, about 50 of my photos were now duplicates of other photos For example, I put all my pictures in timeline order prior to doing my video. If I found a NEW photo after I had already scanned and named the photos, I would place the NEW photo in the picture folder by adjusting accordingly: 1.jpg, 2.jpg 3.1.jpg 3.jpg The 3.1.jpg would be the NEW photo. Photoshop replaced 3.1jpg with the picture in 3jpg. Does anyone know how to restore my photos back to the original "3.1jpg"? The backup is not accessible at this time.
If I understand you correctly you have been using the renaming feature and the parameters you used caused file1 to be renamed to a pre-existing filename (file2). If this is so then you probably have lost the original file2. An undelete utility may help (try Piriform Recuva).
For the future when using batch conversion it is good practice to select a new folder for the outputted files.
It is also good practice to burn all image originals to a CD or DVD immediately after importing from your camera. This way you can always recover originals.
Here are a couple of screenshots, the first from Elements Organizer and the second from Photoshop Elements. Which one did you use and what parameters did you enter?

My digital camera files has extremely large file sizes - around 10mb. When I sync iphoto with the iphone I'm planning to get, will it resize the files and upload a smaller version to the iPhone? I hope so or my iphone will fill up pretty fast.
Photos transferred from your computer to the iPhone will be "optimized" for viewing on the iPhone but how much smaller in size these photos will be, I'm not sure.
My iPod with video includes a setting to transfer full resolution photos but the iPhone does not include the same option. -
Photo File Size and Resolution
In the process of creating a book using iPhoto appeared in the corner. The warning said that the photo was of low resolution. I have scanned a lot of my slides, and the files are 65 Mb, which is too big, and the ones with the warning were around 200 Kb. My question is to get the best resolution (while creating a book) what size file should I import into iPhoto?
frevy,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
As you discovered,the low resolution warning hopefully prevents insertion of low quality pictures in a book.
Here is an Apple kb article which lists minimum resolutions for different size pages, along with helpful info:

Hope it helps,

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?
this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem? -
Acceptable File Size and Resolution for Still Photos in Keyframe Motion
Hello Hello
I know that FCE HD (as other Video Editors), will automatically fit a still photo's size to it's default capability of 720 x 480 Correct?
Well, in regard to making the best possible ZOOMS, and Pans from Still Photos, is it neccessary to re-size all your photos (from an external editor like photoshop), to a specfic size?
According to an older book for FCE, it sez that actually photos re-sized to 720x534 with a resolution of 72 are best. *The proper proportion for NTSC.
And I noticed that when I inserted larger JPG still sizes (like about a meg), on the FCE timline, and when applying Panning, or Zooms, some of the rendered images with motion didn't pan or zoom smoothly.
Is that because those file sizes were TOO large?
Well I have soooo many stills that need to be imported into this particular project that it would be a lot easier for me to just generally reduce these stills (by percentage).
And is the magic resolution amount supposed to be 72?
Because if that's the case I can re-size all my photos to 72, and try to keep the file sizes down to say 300 KB's or so.
Sound like a plan?Thank you guys
"basically, you should try to make your images large enough so they never have to be scaled beyond 100% in the motion tab in fcp."
Actually as I mentioned some of these file sizes are very large. About 800-900 KB's - and what as a result, what I've noticed is that I actually had to DECREASE the viewing area in both the Browser Window, and the Canvas Winbow just to be able to see the whole image.
Ok - so the 72 DPI is not as important as the dimensions of the photo. But as I said I have soooooo many of these that it would take me forever to manually re-size them all not to mention the fact that re-sizing some of them (odd shapes),would throw the images out of balance.
So again I ask - if there is NO motion applied to the photo, file sizes of about 200 to 350 KB's appear just beautifully ....
BUT
If I need to PAN or ZOOM, is it ok to laod a 1 MEG sized JPG onto the timeline and start working with Keyframe?????
In fact in some cases I'm actually using these larger file JPS's (1 meg or more), so that they TOTALLLY fit the canvas window (cropping them by enlargment)
*With some clipping of the original image of course ...
Why do I do this?
So that you don't see the usual border with horizontal images, or vertical images - know what I mean?
Thanx -
I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d
I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want. -
Difference in file size in photoshop and bridge
when I save an image in photoshop (file size 26mb) it shows as a 70.7 mb in bridge or window explorer. Why?
fotonut1 wrote:

Lets take a look at the Image Sise Dialog. Nothing in it indicates anything about any file size. One number in it I have never been able t figure exactly how Adobe come up with and the is Pixel Dimensions Number all others I understand.
Below is a screen capture of the dialog shows 91.4M ???
3264x4896 is the 3:2 my Cannon 1D4 16MP the first calculator is
3264x4896=15980544 I can by the camera sensor is 16.1 MP but only delivers an image 15.98MP
Its 16bit color so each pixel has 3 16bit values for RGB 6 bytes per pixel
15980544x6=95883264 bytes 95.9M not 91.4M
If 91.4 is in hex M 1028 is 1K so 1M 1028000 bytes is 1M
91.4x1028000=93959200 still short of the 95883264 bytes required so I do not how Adobe come up with the 91.4M #
Any way 3264x4896 is canvas size. Has nothing to to with file size.
Photoshop also supports layers and layers can be canvas size or larger then canvas size as well as smaller then canvas.
Additionally layers can contain embedded object and object could contain a layer file like a placed PSD image.
The center section Document Size is the documents Print here you see the document currentle has a 240DPI resolution
3264pixel width / 240 dpi = 13.6"
4896pixel height / 240 dpi = 20.4"
The bottom section is the control section. With resample NOT checked the top can not be changed Pixel Dimensions will not be changed nor would File size. And all three values in print size are linked. You change one value and Photoshop will chage the other two for you. With resample NOT checked the other controls are not settable. Pixel Dimensions are not change so no interpolation and no aspect ratio change.
With Resample checked Constrain Proportions will link width and height to preserv the current aspect ratio and not distort the image.
When you save a document file format is very important layered flat compression all play a roll. It very hard to even guess what the file size will be. -
when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?
That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.08) When performing "Save as" "Reduced file size pdf" Adobe processes for a while then completely stops, and has to close down. Just started doing that today.
I have Windows 8.1, and when I right click on the Windows flag (bottom left), the menu gives me a "Search" option. When I enter "%temp%", it goes to " "my username"/ appdata/temp" which is a list of file 1718 file folders. Many are empty but I did a small sample. Is that the right place to delete? I tried Windows- Disk Clean, but that did not help.

Reducing File Size in Photoshop
Hello,
I had a question on reducing the image size after editing in Photoshop.
After doing my changes in Lightroom, I typically make edits in Photoshop and then do some final touchups back in Lightroom. The RAW file from my camera is approximately 24 MB. After making my edits in PS, the TIFF file it produces (with all layers flattened) is in the 60 MB range.
My question is, if before sending in back to LR, I change the image size in PS say to 12 MB or so, am I basically creating a lossy jpg file? Meaning -- by reducing that TIFF file size down to 12 MB am I throwing out important information such that when I go back to LR I am losing information and won't have as much control as the 60MB TIFF file?
I am trying to avoid having to keep upwards of 80MB per image (due to the RAW + edited file). I don't want to lose imporant information so I will if I have to, but would prefer not.
Thanks,
ScottIf you reduce the file size in Photoshop you reduce the pixel dimension of the photo which means that you throw information away - independantly if you save as JPG or as TIFF or PSD.
That means that the reduction in file size is a reduction in image quality.
If you want to print the image you need a certain resolution (dpi) for the print - typically 300 dpi.
If you want to make a print of let's say 8" x 10" at 300 dpi you need a pixel dimension of 2400 x 3000 pixels which results in a file size of roughly 22 MB (flattened file).
If you have reduced your file to 12 MB you cannot make a print of 8 x 10 at 300 dpi without upsampling first, i.e. Photoshop (or Lr) have to "invent" the missing pixels.
So reducing the file size is simply not an option - unless you use your images exclusively for the web where you don't need large file sizes.
If you edit your Raw files in Photoshop you have to live with large file sizes.
The only way to avoid that is: Do edit in Photoshop only if you absolutely cannot do it in Lr. -
Two step import, downsizing image file sizes and/or keeping copies?
hi all,
leonie was kind enough on another thread to suggest a two step import from the iphone in order to make sure that there is no accidental deletion or data loss. my understanding (i'm repeating it here myself in case i am misunderstanding) is that this routine involves 1. importing images into Aperture via the conventional import method and then 2. backing up to iTunes (to save the images) and 3. verifying (visually i think) that the images are in the Aperture database and then if so allow Aperture to delete all the images from the iPhone.
this seems to make sense to me but i realized i had a couple of questions about general "photo hygiene" related to this kind of thing.
1. is there some way to downsize file size after images are imported into Aperture? i take a ton of photos and only some are important to keep at a high resolution and i feel like i am stuck between having a huge Aperture database cluttered with lots of photos at high resolution /or/ turning down the file size and finding that i have an important image that is at a low resolution because i forgot to turn up the file size (i think these are in settings somewhere in my phone) before i took the photo or only realized later that it was important to have this image at higher resolution. if i could downsize while thinking about it in Aperture this seems like it would work.
2. does anyone keep an external copy of their images outside of the Aperture database?
thankshi terence,
thank you.
so can i ask if anyone is using an iphone and/or what setting(s) and/or resolution folks are using?
i guess i have a bit of a dilemma in that i take a ton of photos and i only use one at a high resolution while the others can be something as insignificant as a visual note to myself. and it kind of kills me that these could be 1.2 MB in that i have a lot of them. i sort of wish there was a way to downsample imagery since a lot of these are not so important.
anyway. yeah i guess i was wondering if folks do a referenced library or keep an extra copy as a backup (i guess i am 'embedding' images in the library but i forget what i call this in aperture) - and i have started to wonder if there is some utility to doing a referenced library or keeping a backup but this seems like overkill while at the same time a referenced library would allow me the ability to downsample images from what i can tell but i am just guessing here since i haven't tried this method.
thanks. -
Urgent:Comparing file size and file hashcode
Hi i am developing an EJB in which I have to dynamically pick the filename,filesize and hashcode of the file.
In case filename exists then it should check for file size and hashcode of the file. if both of these are equal then the processing should stop.
Could anyone provide some help in comparing filesize and hashcode of the file with itself.
Regards
Abhiread the [File API|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html] .
The file size is a long. and the hashCode is an int. [compare them - they are primitives|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/operators.html] -
Check image details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name
I have 1000 images in a folder, i want to check their details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name into excel with nice user interface.
Pls help me, m just learning ABCD in VB.The code in the file at the link below might give you a starting point. Firstly it gives you the opportunity to list all of the properties of a file type and then you can select the properties that you want and the second utility gives you the
opportunity to list the selected properties for all files in a selected folder.
Download and extract the file and open the file in Excel.
Click the first button List Meta Data for One File (Run first)
Navigate to and Select any ONE individual photo file. (Photo files because that is what you indicated you are working with.)
You will be presented with a list of the available properties for the file. Where the Item value is blank, that property is not recorded for the particular file. Different file types have different properties and it is also dependent on how the file
was created but generally if all of the files come from the same source then the same properties are recorded for all files from that source.
Now insert a Y in column D for all of the required properties. (Don't select any with the Item value blank)
Click the second button List Selected Meta Data for all Files in a Folder (Run after selecting the required properties).
Next select a folder where the files reside. (You might need to back up to the folder if dialog is blank because it will not show individual files because the code only allows Folders.)
You will be presented with a report listing all of the selected properties for all of the files in the selected folder.
The user interface is not that great but you can improve on that if you want to with a Userform as you get to know VBA a little better.
Download the file from here.

How do I make a photo file size smaller? The photo is .jpg.
I need to make a photo file size smaller for some other uses.
imac Mac OS X (10.4.8) iphoto 5.0.4Haha yes i forgot that you may not be using Apples Mail. Lets try the export then file>export, then under the heading "format" click JPG. Then click "scale images no larger then:" in the width field type "800" then the height field should change by itself. Thats what i do for emailing, it's usually the best trade between quality & size, that should be small enough to email. Best wishes JAG
P.S. when you first click "scale images no larger then" what's already in the width height fields? thats your actual photo resolution. -
