Save JPG vs Export

hi folks
using mainly FW CS3 here
anf i have ntoiced that when i am editing a JPG, saving it and exporting it to JPG (as the same file) gives me different file sizes.
why is this?
thanks!

Saving the file retains metadata and the original compression settings.
Exporting strips out the metadata and uses the Optimize panel settings, so you'll typically get a smaller file.

Save for Web Export

I am trying to use the save for web export option to save out a file of type JPEG.
I have gotten the code working fine if it saved out with the default file type of .gif, but I cannot get it to work with .jpg.
set theExportOptions to {class:save for web export options, interlaced:true, quality:30}
tell current document
export in (theLocation as text) as save for web with options theExportOptions
end tell
These are the pertinent lines from my code, so if anybody can tell me how to save the file as type JPEG so that it is a scripted version of Photoshop's save for web feature, that would great.
I am also using Photoshop CS2 v9.02 if that helps.

You would have to code that seperate eg:
FitImage(1000,500);
function FitImage( inWidth, inHeight ) {
   if ( inWidth == undefined || inHeight == undefined ) {
      alert( "FitImage requires both Width & Height!");
      return 100;
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
   var unitPixels = charIDToTypeID( '#Pxl' );
   desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Wdth' ), unitPixels, inWidth );
   desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Hght' ), unitPixels, inHeight );
   var runtimeEventID = stringIDToTypeID( "3caa3434-cb67-11d1-bc43-0060b0a13dc4" );
   executeAction( runtimeEventID, desc, DialogModes.NO );

Converting RAW masters to jpgs without exporting, deleting and importing...

Is there a way to convert my RAW files that I already imported into Aperture libraries, now into JPGS without exporting versions, then deleting the RAW-master originals and then importing the jpgs again? I would like to save some disk space, after having chosen some RAW files to keep and now wanting to downconvert the rest to jpgs. Thanks for the answers!!

No, there is not, for the reason Ernie stated. Although I find the "library" metaphor ill-selected, it may help illustrate the point. You RAW files should be thought of as First Edition Hard-cover books. JPGs derived from the RAW originals are later editions. Some of them may closely simulate the first edition; some may be cheap paperbacks designed to be read once and discarded -- none of them is a First Edition.
What you want to do is somewhat tantamount to carting all the precious First Editions out and leaving them by them curb, and replacing them with smaller, lighter paperbacks.
You can do this, but Aperture makes sure you actually have to do the lifting and the carting.
If all you want is a Bookmobile, Aperture is not a good vehicle.
Fwiw, the User Manual recommends creating additional Libraries when you Library becomes too large. (I was 100% certain the User Manual recommended converting some Image's Masters from Managed to Referenced when your Library file became too large, but today I can no longer find the reference.) IME, you are much better served having one Library with your Image's Masters Referenced than having multiple Libraries.

What's the difference between PNG and JPG for exporting .idea files from the Adobe Ideas app?

iPad apps are designed specifically for the iPad and will not run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone/iPod apps will run on the iPad, but will only take up an iPhone sized portion of the iPad screen (though you get a 2x button which effectively doubles each pixel in both directions so may appear pixelated). There are also 'universal' apps (which have a '+' symbol against them in the store) which have processing in them to recognise the device that they are on and will tailor the display accordingly (so will make use of the iPad's larger screen).

Unexpected Quits in multiple applications at Save or Import/Export window

Hello,
For several months I have Apple and Adobe applications as well as Firefox, randomly quit when bringing up the Save, or Import/Export window. (I have copies of the error logs.)
I thought I had it fixed since I haven't had any issues for some time after running Disk Utility and Onyx. But, I posted the same issue a couple of months ago and the solution (at the time) was to keep the desktop clean (see "Crashing at Save" by katorama) . So, after I cleaned up my desktop and only had two aliases to my folders I needed, all went very well until now.
However, what didn't help is that yesterday we had three power outages and my iMac did an auto-restart after each. Since then, the problem returned and nothing seems to fix it.
I feel like this issue is haunting me! I was a tech for many years and normally can fix the issue. But, I can't seem to figure out the reason behind these crazy unexpected quits. Seems I've run out of tools in my toolbag.
TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS:
– I have run Disk Utility to verify and repair disk and Onyx to clean out caches. After this, it seems to run fine, then a different application will have the same problem.
– When I create a new user account, there is no response when I double click the hard drive (it does not open) and when testing an application for the quit issue, it happens again.
– Also, when I restart into Safe Boot the problem appears to stop initially, but can appear intermittently again.
I suspect it may be a RAM or even a Quartz issue? But, honestly, I have no idea.

Any suggestions welcome!
thanks!

Hi.
This is about a question you posted to the Firefox Support forum three months ago (I'm sorry you never got an answer).
Did you ever fix the problem where Firefox freezes or hangs, when clicking a download link or using (File menu) "save as" or "open file"? Or when going to the Firefox (Tools) menu and clicking Options ? Or trying to Import or Export bookmarks?
I found this thread searching for a solution for someone on MozillaZine's support forum who's having a similar issue. See this thread: (maybe something he's tried that didn't work for him will work for you?)

Cant save or save as or export in motion 3!!!

this ***** I cant save or save as or export in motion 3!!! what is the deal anyone know how to fix this problem???

WOW!! Thanks so much, I've been banging my head against the wall for several days now thinking, was it something I did, reinstalling like five times, getting chewed at by my supervisor because the project wasn't completed, etc.... and all along it was Shapeshifter. I was about to call it quits and do the project in after effects, but thanks to your post I can still streamline the motion graphics portion of the project with FCP and Motion. Thanks again, you really saved me!!

Can't Save As..., Export, etc.

Just shelled out $30 for Pro for Windows. Save As..., Export... and Export for Web... ALL give the same "Error -43", as does any attempt to save a movie embedded in a web page (click the down-triangle in the lower-right of the embedded video and select Save As QuickTime Movie... - BANG! - Error -43).
Two questions:
1. Is it THAT hard to come up with an intelligible error handler?
2. Where do I get a refund?
thanks,
U0

Thanks. Neither of these helped in the slightest.
In the first case, I'm trying to Save As... directly back to the same directory where the original file came from - just with a different name. If QT can't find THAT directory, Apple needs to take this piece of crap off the market.
In the second case, if I have to actually disable antivirus software for this this thing to work, again, Apple needs to take this piece of crap off the market. But having said that, I DID temporarily disable AVG just to see what would happen. I get exactly the same errors.
Open to additional suggestions. Including how to get a refund.
cheers,

Save for web export crashing photoshop

HI
In was wondering if anyone could help me. I have written a code that edits images but i am having trouble with the save for web export everytime it gets to saving it photoshop just crashes. I have tried a few different ways of coding it but all of them end of crashing PS and i am at a loss as to what is wrong.
Here is the code that i am using:
                                        set webFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select the folder to link to")
                                        set webOpt to {class:save for web export options, web format:JPEG, quality:89}
                                        set theDoc to current document
export theDoc in webFolder as save for web with options webOpt
any help would be great. I have tried it on CS6 and CC, both of which crash.

You need to pass a full file path to the export command… Probably need to change the extension too.
set myFullFilePath to (path to desktop as text) & docName
export in file myFullFilePath as save for web with options myOptions

Alternative to Save for Web/Export as CSS Layers?

I'm am SO DEVASTATED that CS6 got rid of the option to save as CSS layers in Save for Web. I just updated from 5 to 6 and now I'm looking for an alternative but am having no luck. I've tried some scripts I've found online but none of them work the way I need, or at all.
I do animation in AI where each layer is a frame on the animation. In CS5 I could Save for Web and check the Export as CSS Layers box. This would export all the layers in my AI file to pngs, where each layer is it's own png file, in one folder. I could then import them as an image sequence in Photoshop and turn layers on and off with each frame to create my animation.
I tried exporting my AI file to a PSD file with maximum editability but the more complicated the animation (meaning the more layers and the more objects on each layer) it would start flattening layers without warning. Not to mention the rendering time just opening the file in Photoshop and then trying to save it there once I had created all my frames. Photoshop froze on me 6 times this morning while I was trying things out.
I'm desperate for a simple way to do the CSS layer trick. If I can't find one, I'm going to have to go back to CS5 permanently, or until I can find a solution.

here you go, let me know if it cuts it.

Adobe InDesign cs5 crashes every time try to save, save as or export

I've got adobe InDesign (cs5 version), and every time I try to save, save as or export a file, the InDesign window closes or crashes. This is very frustrating as I have a project which needs to be completed in the next two days using InDesign. Help!

Try reseting the preferences.
or delete Mark II folder from the location
Windows 7/Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SING\Mark II
Mac OS: [Startup Disk]/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/SING/Mark II
It will fix this..
This problem is pretty definitely not SING, so deleting the Mark II folder is not going to help. (It wont't hurt, though!)
Resetting prefrences is always a good thing to try.
I suspect it is a corrupt story thread of some sort. Moving pages to a new document, exporting stories to IDML, copying the file and deleting pages until the problem goes away...those are things I would try.

16x9, 300ppi, 75mb tiff file, LR converts to 1mb jpg. Export in LR 5 is being done at 100%, no file size reduction.

I've got a 16x9, 300ppi, 75mb tiff file that LR converts to 1mb jpg. Export in LR 5 is being done at 100%, no file size reduction. Can't figure out why it is downsizing so small? Even upsized to 420ppi in PS and the export was still only 2mb. Stock agency wants 3mb .jpg minimum. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Using PS CS6 with NO changes applied to the original TIFF the JPEG file size is 8.686 MB. The slightly larger file size is due to metadata differences between LR and PS.
Both Adobe applications (PS CS6 and LR 5.71) are producing near identical and much larger highest quality JPEG files. PS 12 Quality is the same as LR 100.
SUGGESTION:
1) Close LR and rename your LR Preferences file by adding the extension .OLD to it:
Mac OS X
Preferences
/Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist.OLD
Windows 7 & 8
Preferences
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs.OLD
Reopen LR and it will create a new Preferences file. Try the JPEG Export again using the same settings as I have posted.
2) If still no change I suggest uninstalling LR, delete the new LR Preferences file created in step #1 above, keep the .OLD Preferences file, and reinstall LR 5.71.
3) If all is well now close LR and try restoring you original Preferences file by renaming the new Preferences file something like .OLD.OLD and removing .OLD from the original file.

How to save .jpg with jdk1.1.4?(help..)

HI...
i know i can use following code to save .jpg with jdk1.4 by using following code:
BufferedImage img; // your working image
ImageIO.write(img, "jpg", new File("save.jpg"));
or
BufferedImage bimg = null;
int w = img.getWidth(null);
int h = img.getHeight(null);
int [] pixels = new int[w * h];
PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(img,0,0,w,h,pixels,0,w);
try {
pg.grabPixels();
catch(InterruptedException ie) {
ie.printStackTrace();
bimg = new BufferedImage(w,h,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
bimg.setRGB(0,0,w,h,pixels,0,w);
// Encode as a JPEG
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("out.jpg");
JPEGImageEncoder jpeg = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(fos);
jpeg.encode(bimg);
fos.close();
But when i want to recompile with jdk1.1 , what can i do now ?
Do you have any exapmles?
thank you so much...

the file is being created, the type of the file must be specified on the command line.

How to save recording without export?

In Quicktime (using Lion), I used to start a new audio recording and it would record on the desktop. I would then "save as" and just name the file. Done.
Now, using Mountain Lion, and the "save" option is gone. I can only "export" which then proceeds to encode the file. The encoding process takes a long time when before I didn't have to encode at all. Is there a way around this?

The original question was to STOP THE ENCODING PROCESS. Can someone please answer the original question.
It seems to me that your wounds are self-inflicted. If you don't want the file to be converted, then stop selecting the "Audio Only" format.
As indicated below the "Format" pop-up, this selection exports your current Linear PCM audio file in a generic format compatible will all devices and media players—i.e., as an AAC audio file.
On the other hand, if you wish to use the export option and save your audio recording in its original recorderd format, then use the defaulted "Movie" Format pop-up which refers to the MOV file container and is the generic QT file container that can be used to store audio, video, or any other compatible data format.
If you feel more comfortable seeing the word "Save" in the "Export/Save" window, then instead of selecting the "Export" File menu option, select the "Close" option (or press the red encircled "X" in the QT X player window to open the "Save" window depicted above. It basically offeres the same options as the File "Export" option since Apple has essentially merged the "Save, Save As..., and Export" functions into a single workflow. (Like you, I don't really like this arrangement and that is why I continue to use QT 7 Pro for most QT player-based operations.)

Is there a way in Final Cut Pro 7 to save custom Batch Export settings?

Is there a way in Final Cut Pro 7 to save custom Batch Export settings?

Don't think so. Years ago, I seemed to figure out a way in an earlier version of fcp, but when I tried to recreate it, I couldn't make it work.
You can send to compressor and save custom presets there.
