Show image file size on desktop

Hi im a Graphic Designer using Mountain Lion and would LOVE for images on my desktop to show more file info like file size other than the name and extension - is this possible? Its purely for a quick glance rather than having to right click and select get info... 2 clicks too many for me

Command + J on an item on the desktop.

  • Maximum Image file size flash can handle?

    Does anyone knows the max image file size flash can load
    using MovieClipLoader?
    I tried 10.5 MB PNG file and Flash thinks it is loaded but,
    the actual image never shows up.
    Thanks,

    Well it is good for that client. But it still won't work in
    Flash. Sorry. You will need to slice the picture into different
    chunks at 2880 x 2880 max and reassemble the tiles in Flash.
    You may also run into an issue that things sometimes get lost
    if there is more that 16,000 (or thereabouts) pixels difference in
    their coordinates.

  • How to reduce image file size in spreadsheet

    I have created a spreadsheet that contains cells with small amounts of text, and images that I brought in from the Media Browser from iPhoto. This has caused the file size to become HUGE, on the order of 234 MB. Saving it as a pdf only reduces it to 220 MB.
    I have tried the Format>Image>Reduce Image File Size, as well as File>Reduce File Size, but in both cases, those options are grayed out.
    What am I doing wrong? All I really want is thumbnail versions of my image files.
    I don't understand what the Reduce Image File Size command would be used for, if it doesn't work for this?

    When you insert a picture in a cell, it's used as a background.
    To do that, the app keep it in a size allowing it to accomodate the larger cell size permitted.
    If you want to get small images matching the cell size which you use, you must reduce the picture by yourself before inserting it. For instance, cells are often 72 * 16 pixels ones so you may reduce your pictures so that thir width become 72 pixels.
    Of course, if the user enlarge the cell, the picture will become highly pixelated.
    Look at this example.
    In B4 is the original : 202 x 177 pixels
    In C3 is the reduced one : 72 x 63
    in B2 is the reduced one in a 202 x 177 pixels cell. It's awfully pixelized
    We must arbitrate between size and quality.

  • Folder problems on external drive, not showing correct file size

    I've run across a strange problem. I'm media managing for a tv show, meaning I'm offloading video from CF cards onto 2 external drives, one is a Drobo Raid (set up for backup) and another is a Lacie rugged drive. After copying the media to both drives, the folder I copy will match, but sometimes as I drill upward in my folder structure, suddenly the file sizes will not match. To be more clear: 2 folders will show differing file sizes, but inside that folder is only another folder,nothing else, which matches across the drives. I've shown all files in finder and there's no hidden files, though sometimes I see the ds_store files are different sizes (8k vs 16k), but that's not always the case. Sometimes if I simply create a new folder and move it's contents into it I can get the folders to match, but sometimes that doesn't work. It's part of my workflow to show that these copies match exactly via screenshots, and although the most important folder (the direct folder holding the footage) always matches, these folder problems are super frustrating as it's not constant, and any workarounds also work inconsistantly.
    I had an accidental disconnect of the Drobo one time, and although none of the data seems to have any problem, I fear it's done something to the directory. The rugged drive is swapped out every few days and the problem seems to be on the Drobo. Because the nature of the data is pretty important, I'm afraid to just try messing around with repairing or other software solutions unless I know it's super safe and won't harm the data.
    I'm at a loss as to what's causing it and at the very least how to avoid it cropping up. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

    I had the same problem with my iMac, first I repaired the disk, then I ejected the disk, restarted, and then reinserted the USB in a different port.  All of my files magically showed up.  I don't know what caused the error but it has been working fine since. 

  • While downlaoding any type of file instead of showing the file size 'unknown time remaining' is showing?

    While downlaoding any type of file instead of showing the file size 'unknown time remaining' is showing? Please suggest solution to these problems?

    I followed ALL the Above suggestions to NO AVAIL!
    When I start a download, if I then Click PAUSE, it WILL NOT CANCEL & IT WILL NOT RESUME, just sits there stating "unknown time remaining"
    and I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!

  • What is image dpi after "Reduce Image File Size"

    Does anyone know the resulting image dpi after using the "Reduce Image File Size" command in pages? My mother is trying to prepare some things for pre-press, and can't send her document to the printing press, because the pages docs are friggin huge! I'm trying to give her the easiest option for resizing all of the many images in the document, but don't know if this is a viable option if the end product needs to be printed. I need the output to be at least 300dpi.

    As fruhulda wrote, asking Pages to apply changes to the pictures isn't the good path.
    In fact, it's a perfect way to get a fat file.
    My practice is :
    Prepare the document in Pages to define the wanted size of every embedded pictures.
    Edit the picture files in a tool dedicated to this task so that the resulting files will be 300 dpis ones for the wanted sizes.
    Then, replace the original pictures by the definitive ones.
    In most cases, the file will be lighter than the original one and you will have the 300 dpis resolution (except if you apply shadows but it's an other story).

  • App to show app file sizes in flash memory?

    Is there an app in the store that shows the file sizes of all apps I've downloaded? I can't find one, but I'm often blind. As I run out of space, I'd like to delete big apps that I don't care much about any more, but I don't know which are big. Thanks!

    You don't need an app to do this. With your ipod connected in iTunes, the app pane will also show the size of the app right next to the name.

  • Export to jpeg:  Show jpeg file size prior to export

    Photoshop save to jpeg dialog box shows the jpeg file size associated with each jpeg compression level (1 - 12).  Lightroom export dialog box does not show jpeg file size.  Showing the expected jpeg file size is useful when needing to limit file size while maximizing jpeg quality.  For example, some email applications limit attachment file size; some photo hosting sites (e.g., Zenfolio) limit file size to 12mb.  If I export a cr2 file at 100 quality, it may result in a file size of 14mb.  However, I cannot determine this until after I export.  Then I may try 90 quality and find that the resulting file size is only 8mb.  So, I try 95 quality, and get a 12.5mb file.  This iterative process is a waste of time.  I need to se the file size resulting from each jpeg quality setting in the export dialog box.

    I have tried trashing the plist file. The files look fine through the media manager when copied to the other profile. They look like they are suppose to. The small videos also look fine when played on that computer. Unfortunately our other mac pro computer doesn't have final cut so i can't open and play proress files and my laptop, due to the extreme resolution can't be played on my laptop with final cut studio installed. Tomorrow i'm going to install the proress decoder on the one mac pro to check the files and make sure the self contained is checked but i'm almost positive on that. Other than nuking the profile i don't know what else to do. This is really weird.

  • Where is the image file size???

    Where is the image file size in LR3? I can't see it anywhere neither in the Library module, nor in the Develop module.

    As far as I know Lightroom does not display the file size. Keep in mind that LR never makes changes to the Original files that you import.
    When you export a file with LR edits the file size generated will depend on the edits applied and the size and quality settings you choose in the export dialog.

  • Jpeg Image file size for a Downloadable Product

    I'm creating a site in BC for the client to sell digital download copies of their original photographs. The purpose of the product for the consumer would be to use the low res download as a screen save or for viewing in a gallery on a desktop, tablet or smartphone device. BC accommodates such products but I haven't a clue as to what size to upload the image files in the BC Product Details page.
    Does anyone have any relevant information to share?

    If the client intends on selling digital copies of the images, then I would make sure to make the previews small.  Like 600 x 800 small.  If it gets too big people aren't going to be inclined to pay for bigger.
    I usually upload my photos in 1040 or 1280 on social media.  But 1280 looks pretty good on most laptops.  That'll change as screens get denser, but as of now I would think if I was trying to sell images and had previews at 1280 a lot of people would just take the 1280 and run.

  • Elements 4 Slide Show PDF File Size

    My a 36-slide show with music ends up as a 6.76 MB PDF file. Are there techniques for reducing the file size?
    My attempts have had mystifying results. I fould that 2 of the original images were multi-megabyte BMP files, so I replaced them one-by-one with much smaller JPGs, and made PDFs after each step. (Miraculously, when I edited the original photos, the edits automatically flowed down into the slide show images.)
    When I made the replacements and created new PDFs, the size didn't shrink accordingly. It appears that Elements makes its own JPGs from the photos in the slide show, so the size of the original doesn't matter.
    But replacing the first big file with a smaller one slightly INCREASED the size of the PDF, from 6.76 MB to 6.79. Replacing the second one increased it again from 6.79 to 6.80. Small changes, but mysterious.
    BTW, taking out the music (built-in looping audio from Elements) reduced the file size from 6.76 to 5.87 MB.
    Are there other ways to reduce the size of the PDF file?

    Yep, I know this is user-to-user. I've gotten very good answers here, too.
    I experimented with the "slide resolution" (or whatever the name of it is). There wasn't much difference in file size between 800x600 and 1024x768, and I couldn't see much difference on the screen. Fonts seemed less jazzy with 1024x768, but it wasn't night and day.
    File size ballooned when I went to the next higher resolution. I think the visual quality improved, too, but I can't be sure.
    Looks like the higer resolution settings might be good if one distributed the slide show on CD.

  • 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?
    thanks

    hi 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.

  • Why is image file size increasing when changed to CMYK?

    When converting the colour of a Jpeg to CMYK in Photoshop CS5 the file size is increasing.
    The original image is 352KB and after saving as CMYK it is 2.1MB
    Why is this happening and how can I stop it?
    I'm using a lot of images for a print project so need to keep file sizes small with resolution of 300dpi. The image dimensions are really small, only about 30mm high so they shouldn't be this large a file size
    I am using a clipping path but this doesn't seem to be effecting file size (I checked by saving it as RGB with a clipping path which stayed small, and by saving one without a clipping path in CMYK which was huge)
    Thanks

    Two things may be happening: 
    1)      you may be making the file pixel dimensions (width and height) larger due to the 300 dpi requirement.
    2)      CMYK files, with 4 colors per pixel, are expected to be larger than JPG files, which are 3 colors per pixel and the data is compressed in a way that throws away information.
    You will not get CMYK files anywhere near as small as JPG files, as you are finding.   If there are compression options available when you save the file, perhaps those can make the files smaller.
    What pixel dimensions is the original JPG and what pixel dimensions are the CYMK files?

  • Why is image file size getting inflated by Pages?

    I have a newsletter I am creating, and I have inserted 6 photos. They have been pre-downsized using Image Ready, so each image is around 30k. But after they have been inserted, the file size of the entire Pages document is huge. So I opened the Package for the document (Control click on the icon) and I see that now the images are each around 300k. The images have not been manipulated in Pages, no shadows or strokes. They have been resized just a teeny bit (made smaller in all cases).
    So what is going on to cause this huge inflation of file size. It is making my document too big to email (although it has helped to control the pdf export to "Good"... or even better to use the Color Sync file size reduction dialog, which is buried so deep in the Print dialog that I can't believe this is a common way to do it...)
    Anyway, all help would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter

    yes, you are right that the best results that I got were from the Print command and the color sync option to reduce file size. Without that, I took a Pages doc that was around 2.7megs and the pdf varied from 1.8-2.5 using the export command. With the color sync method I did get it down to a 450k pdf, which I am satisfied with.
    Still it baffles me that a 40k jpeg will inflate to 300k in Pages. I don't see multiple copies in the Package for the document, so I don't think it is multiplying. And I think that at least one of the images lives in the document without having been resized from within Pages, so that doesn't seem to be involved.
    I am using jpegs, adjusting them in Photoshop and then optimizing them with Image Ready, but they are JPEGs all thru the process, and they clearly are averaging around 35-40k after Image Ready does it's t hing. That is the whole purpose of Image Ready, it comes with Photoshop with that intention solely. I could try saving the image file in Preview or some other program and seeing if it inflates liek the Image REady jpegs do.
    Anyway, I am still curiouis about why this happens, but I can live with the rather bizarre method of using the Print>Color Sych method.
    Thanks to all of you for your help, really,
    Peter

  • Using Pages with iOS. How do I reduce image file size when I create a document with embedded images?

    Hi,
    I have created an annual family news letter in Pages on my iPad which incorporates pictures of events, holidays, occasions etc etc. I've then gone to covert it to pdf with the intention of sharing it via email but get a warning message about the resulting file size (in this case 16Mb).
    Is there any way of reducing the file size - which is obviously being driven by the images?  The pics are being pulled in from the iPad photo library.
    Thanks Mike

    (1) you are asking about Pages for iOS in a forum dedicated to Pages for OSX.
    Most of us aren't using Pages for iOS so it would be more efficient to ask in the forum dedicated to iWork for iOS (at this time this discussion area isn't divided in three areas).
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios
    (2) As you understood why your file is huge, the answer is simple : reduce the size of your picture files before inserting them in Pages documents.
    Drop the unneeded areas, reduce the resolution in tools dedicated to image processing before inserting them.
