Raw files exporting in JPG coming out too low resoltion?

I am somewhat new to using a mac/aperture vs. PS/PC . I have uploaded and edited my photos in RAW. I am having trouble with the program downscaling my photos too much. I have changed the preset to high quality JPEG and the quality up to 12. But, for instance, my file size in RAW (22.65 MB) is scaling itself down to 684KB(JPEG) when i try to export or burn it to disk. I am great with a camera, but lacking in computer skills!, so I apologize if this doesn't make complete sense or if i'm missing something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

How are you exporting? Dragging from the browser or using File > Export > Version?
If you're using the export function, what is your export preset?

Lightroom 5.6 won't apply watermarks to my images when I export; Nikon D610 RAW files exporting in .jpg

I am working with .NEF files from a Nikon D610 in Lightroom 5.6. When I go to export and choose add text watermark, the files are exported but the text watermark is not added. Occasionally some of the images from the batch will have the watermark, but it will only be some, not all. Anyone else run into this problem?

What is the file format you choose to export as? If it is ORIGINAL or DNG, you will not get watermarks.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

RAW file converting to jpg?

How to I convert a RAW file to a JPG format without opening the RAW file in ACR?
Richard Cooper

Colin, I started shooting RAW very near the beginning of my digital experience, way back in 2002 (!). Back then, I simply ran them through the Canon converter with no adjustments; ACR wasn't an option in Elements at the time. However, I did save all those RAW originals, and, on occasion, I've gone back to some of them, adjusted them with ACR and Elements, and wound up with a better edited photo.
On the other hand, the ones I took in JPEG before discovering RAW....they are what they are, permanently blown highlights and all.
Disk space, DVD's and even CF cards (1 GB are now $50 in some US stores) are so attractively priced now that I don't even think twice about whether or not to shoot in RAW. The camera is set on that 24/7.
Just one person's approach...

RAW files converted to JPGs - why?

Pics shot in RAW format in my Minolta A2 camera appear correctly as MRW files of 11.6mb each when imported into iPhoto. However, when I look for them in the iPhoto Library (in their correct catalogue position under year/month/date) they are displayed as JPG files. This used not to happen, and other iPhoto users say their files are corrctly tagged as RAW. Conversion to JPG of course means loss of quality with compression, negating the whole purpose of shooting in RAW. I should be able to import photos from the iPhoto Library into Photoshop as RAW files for processing there before export and any compression. Something seems to have changed, but I can't figure out what. Any suggestions?

First off, editing a RAW image results in the modified photo being saved in JPG format. The original RAW image is still there however. If you want something lossless, check your iPhoto preferences. There is a setting that causes edited RAW images to be converted to TIFF, or you can have it send RAW files to an external editor. Note that RAW is just an electronic negative format. In order to do anything with it anyway, there is a rasterization phase that converts it to JPEG or TIFF or some other format for editing and printing.
Bring up iPhoto help, and search for keywords "edit RAW". There is an item "Working with photos taken in RAW format" that will give you more information.

Why does File- Export process jpgs where I have made no changes?

Hi, I'm new to Lightroom. I would like to make LR my photo management software of choice for managing my huge personal collection of photographs. I've flagged keepers and tagged photos accordingly: Food, people names, etc.
What I would like to do now is find all photos marked with the tag "JapanVacation2009" and export them to disk so I can bring them to a friend's house and share them. When I click File->Export, I see that even though I've make tone and exposure changes to less than 1% of my my photos, LR reprocesses every photo!
What I want is that for photos where I have made some kind of change, yes, please process and create the new version of the photo. For photos where I have made no change except for adding tags, please, please, just copy the file into the export directory!!! It's faster AND I really didn't want my photos reprocessed.
I am sitting here waiting for these files to be exported (reprocessed)-- this is taking forever! I generally take my photos in jpg because I'm really going to make very few changes to my photos-- I know that I could take them in RAW, but I find this inconvenient for my workflow.
Please help. If I can't find a resolution, I'm going to have to investigate something like Picasa.
LR gurus, what do I do???

Folders are irrelevant to LR as an organisational tool. LR will search, create collections or smart collections based on whatever criteria you set.It is a very quick and effective organisational tool once you have learnt how to use it.
When exporting from LR to a lossy format such as a jpg if the file is already compressed and you re compress it then this will result in further loss of quality. That is always the case when using JPGs. If you export at 100% ( no further compression) then no loss of quality will occur due to compression, but obviously re processing a processed 8 bit format such as a JPG will always result in some quality loss. If you have made no changes to the original JPG in LR and then export it at 100% then LR just produces a copy of the original and no loss of quality will occur. JPG should really be treated as a finished format and no further processing applied. If you wish to process your images then retain the RAW file, or if scanning, scan to a 16 bit file such as TIFF to minimise any quality loss as a result of processing.
Exporting times are very quick from LR as long as your machine is well set up and has enough RAM. 600 images with few changes dependent on the size of the image would only usually take a few minutes to export to a disk dependent on the speed of the disk. Obviously if you are exporting to a slow hard drive, to things like DVD's and CD's, have little RAM or lots of other applications running in the background this can slow things down, there are lots of tips around here and elsewhere on how to set up your computer to get the best out of LR.

Why are my files exporting so small? (15 mb RAW files exporting to 2 mb JPEG)

I'm trying to export RAW files into JPEG for a client and haven't experienced this issue before. I shot on large format RAW and original files are around 15 mb. When I export them in lightroom they end up around 2 mb. I know that I can still print large files from this but I'm worried that my (wedding) clients will see the file size and worry about enlarging prints, etc. Is there a way to export them so they are larger? I'm currently exporting at 100%. Help please!

File size really doesn't provide useful information. And since JPG is compression, I see nothing unusual about a 15mb original RAW exported as 2mb JPG. If you are worried about file size, then you are not looking at the right numbers.
You need to look at number of pixels in the original image, and number of pixels in the exported file. Anything else will lead you in the wrong direction.

Raw Files vs. Jpg's

Greetings -- This is my second post. If you know you are going to work with your photos in Photoshop, should you be taking pictures in RAW format or in JPG? I have read that every time you save a JPG in JPG format, that you further compress the picture and chip away at its quality. Whereas this does not occer with a RAW file as long as youy keep it as a RAW file.
ZU

For what it's worth, every serious photographer that I know of (and I know of a lot of them) shoot in RAW format. I do too. As I understand it, the reason is that in RAW your camera's built in processing essentially leaves the digital image you shot alone. Consequently, the image's digital information is, for the most part, untouched, which means that when you download the image to your editing software (such as Photoshop Elements), you have an image with all the information on it that you originally shot. And this means that any additional processing you do, begins with a "pure" image. In effect, a RAW image carries all the information your camera captured when you shot the photo; JPG does not because the camera did some processing and compressing as you took the shot.
I suggest that you experiment. Shoot the same subject using the same settings on your camera, except shoot one in JPG and the other in RAW. Then download them to PSE (or whatever) and see what you think. One caution: the JPG image may look better initially than the RAW image, because of the camera's processing into JPG. So, use PSE to futher manipulate the original images and see if it makes any difference to you personally.
By the way, I also understand that working on a JPG file over and over can deteriorate the image. That is, if you open a JPG, work on it with PSE, save it, and then open it again to work on it, save it again, and so on, the JPG file will begin to show bad things. This doesn't mean that you can't open a JPG file over and over; instead, it means that if you open it and process it further, deterioration will occur.
I'll bet someone else can clarify and expand on JPG vs. RAW better than I can.

Why can't i save an edited .raw file as a .jpg

I am using PSE 10 and with other catalogs i had no problem of editing my .raw files (6.7version) and then opening them and after further editing doing a "save as" and saving it as a .jpg file in a version set.
now I am working with another set of picture files and when i try to save the final edited it suggests:
ed-1.psd and the drop down menue also lists: psd, pdd, pse, .raw, png and TIFF.(there are no layers in the file)
search of FAQ was unsuccessful. I have avague recollection of having this similar problem years ago with other earlier versions of PSE but can't remember the solution. This is my first instance of this problem. Other info that may help is i believe this is a "converted catalog" from PSE 8. I am running on WIN 7 Prof, 64 bit
Appreciate any help
Dan Y
I went back to a previous different catalog>same computer, same PSE10 and selected a previous version set consisting of the original >raw file and the saved edited file ed-1.jpg and selected the original .raw file, opened full edit, it opens in ARW 6.7 as before, then opened the file in the PSE10 editor and tried to save as a .jpg ( which i obviously did in the last few days at most)(no changes made to computer or programs) and it WOULD NOT OPEN AS A .jpg AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
HOPE THIS HELPS

You are possibly working with a 16 bit image. Before clicking the Open Image button in the camera raw dialog change the drop down to 8 bit and you should then be able to save as jpeg.

SSRS 2012 excel export is still coming out as an xls not xlsx

Hello, All

Your help would be much appreciated.

Hello,
If I understand correctly, Excel render format is working fine when you export RDL file, but cannot work for RDLC file.
RDL files are created by the SQL Server 2012 version of Report Designer. RDLC files are created by the Visual Studio 2010 version of Report Designer. RSReportServer.config file is control RDL file rather than RDLC file. Based on my test, in Visual Studio
2010, when we export RDLC file, Excel render format is .xls. You can try to use Visual Studio 2012 to test, if it can export .xlsx file.
In order to solve the excel limitation issue, please refer to the document below:

Imported raw files show as jpg

Since updating to Lightroom2 (currently 2.6), whenever I import a RAW file from iPhoto - selecting to leave the photo in it's original location - it shows as a .jpg file once it is imported into Lightroom 2. With Lightroom 1 it would import as a RAW file. Is there a setting I need to select to keep Lightroom from automatically converting my RAW files to JPG on import?

Thanks for your help. It worked as you suggested except the corresponding jpg file that was made by the camera is imported into Lightroom along with the RAW file. Unfortunately, my Canon 400D will not shoot RAW files only, you have to have a large size JPEG along with it which is a waste of file space, but nothing that can be done to shoot RAW only. So at the very least I can import RAW files as you suggest and then delete the JPEG. As far as iPhoto goes, I've been using it for many years and like it a lot. I find it easier and more intuitive than Lightroom's organizational tools. Lightroom is an exceptional tool for printing or prepping a final image for electronic distribution and that's how I use it. In short, I use each application for what it does best. I only color correct, print or publish less than 1 or 2% of the thousands of images I shoot. Thanks again for solving this mystery!

"Use RAW files with external editor" greyed out for Photoshop CS2?

I've just upgraded from iPhoto 5, and the "Use RAW files with external editor" option in the advanced preferences is greyed out when I select Photoshop CS2 as my external editor (back in the General pane).
It works fine when Preview.app is selected. I can understand that pre-CS2 Photoshop wouldn't be available, but CS2 is capable of editing RAW images.
Has anyone been able to get iPhoto 6 to send a RAW image to Photoshop CS2 using this preference? I've written an Applescript to do it in iPhoto 5, but I'd rather use something cleaner...
15" PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Works great with Photoshop Elements, opens with Camera Raw. The issue is you can't save it so that iPhoto gets the changes.
You have to save it and then re-import. I tried all permutations of saving it in originals and modified folders in the library. No luck. The only thing I didn't try is to save it as a jpeg over the top of the full sized one iPhoto created on import.

RAW files exported to PS CS5 from LR2.7 LAG DOWN CS5

I recently installed photoshop cs5 and have been using it with lightroom 2.7 and lightroom 3beta.
The other day I downloaded and installed adobe camera raw 6.1. now every time I export a raw file into cs5 for editing, I get EXTREME levels of lag when I try to use filters like smart sharpen or surface blur. I checked my CPU performance, and it spikes to %99 CPU usage while CS5 tries to apply a smart sharpen filter.
When I export files into cs4, I have no problems applying these filters. They're fast and quick.
When I directly import a raw file into CS5 using photoshops raw converter, I dont experience this lag running filters at all.
So i'm concluding that the ACR6.1 update is somehow incompatible with lightroom 2.7 when used in conjunction with photoshop cs5.
can someone please help!?
I use lightroom exclusively for my photography workflow.

I suppose that would help...
thanks for the response:
2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
Crucial 120GB SSD
scratch disks 1TB 7200rpm, 3 x 300GB 10,000rpm raptor drives (I store my raw files and edit them from this drive)--it's a raid 0 array
i'm running lightroom 2.7, as well as lightroom 3beta
photoshop cs5 running in 64bit mode.
the RAW files are canon raw .CRW files from a 5D mark II, approximately 22MB.
i'm exporting them at 300DPI into cs5 from lightroom. I'm letting lightroom do the converting.
with ACR6.1 installed, any raw or tiff file i export from lightroom into cs5 causing cs5 to lag down in general, and experience extreme lag when i apply filters like smart sharpen and surface blur---under the utility manager, it appears that the CPU is at %99 usage when these filters are being applied--hence the lag.
I reintalled cs5, but didn't install acr6.1 this time. the problem has been solved, at least as far as I can tell.
so my conclusion is that ACR6.1 doesn't work with lightroom.

Raw file opens as jpg

Can somebody help me. I am running CS3 on MacOS X. with Camera Raw 4.1 plugin.
When I open RAW file it is opened on in RAW editor but in Photoshop as a Jpg file with different name.
example:
initial file:L1010860.RAW
when it is opened in photoshop the name changes to: L1010860_2.jpg

>Photoshop cannot open RAW files; only Camera Raw can.
While Photoshop can not open a raw file without a helper application, the statement that only Camera Raw can open raw files is not true. A common problem encountered by Nikon users is that the Nikon NEF plugin overrides ACR and the raw file is opened in it rather than ACR. The Bibble plug in can also open raw files in Photoshop. Alexinna's problem appears to be related to iPhoto and may be analogous to the problem with the Nikon NEF plugin.

Garageband exports my audio's volume too low

So occasionally Garageband decides to export my audio with an outcome that is too low to hear. The audio sounds perfect while it's recording in Garageband itself, but once it exports to an mp3 and try to play it in Itunes or Quicktime, it's way too low. Anyone know how to fix this?

What are your settings for "auto normalize" in Garageband's Preferences > Audio?
Try, if changing that setting helps.
And check the corresponding options in iTunes, to see, if you have options enabled, that change the sound of your GarageBand songs: Sound Enhancer, Soundcheck. If you enabled those options, turn them off.
