Viewing file size

I'm new to Lightroom.  I want to view the size of my files in Lightroom, but I can't seem to find it.  I've looked in the Metadata list, but nothing shows up.  Also, I'd like to be able ot view the file size in my loupe view, but when I go to my view options, I only find 'megapixels and "cropped dimensions", but I want file size.  can anyone help me with this?

At the top of the metadata panel in Library, you need to select Exif and IPTC instead of leaving it on Default. Then you get most things showing up, including FileSize.

  • Viewing File Size in Finder

    Is it possible to include file size as one of the columns in any of the finder views?
    I've created a smart search for files above a specific size, but would like to view the actual size in the Finder window. Was easy to add additional attribute columns in Windows Explorer, by just right-clicking.
    Thanks

  • Options to view file size and type?

    Where can I turn on options on an image and get the file size and type?
    Thanks.

    Stan,
    You can see the file type by hovering over the file in Library view and it will show the file name followed by the extension like jpg, nef or tiff.
    Alternatively in library mode go to grid view it will pixel size of the files as well as the name of the file withthe format.
    If you are not able to see that go to View>View Option.
    Check the option show header with label
    Hope thatt helps.

  • How to view file size of imported photo

    i plan to import a number of large photos from iphoto. i hesitate because each photo is between 20 and 50 MB. Will iweb scale this file down while importing? How can i find out about it? I did not find file information on the imported photo nor do i know the file location of the website project on my mac harddisk.
    Do I have to use third party software like Photoshop to scale the size down and afterwards import them into iphoto and iweb?
    Thank You,
    Harpo

    I think you should DEFINITELY scale your images down before importing them or dragging and dropping them into iWeb! If your images are in iPhoto, then you can use the "Export" command in iPhoto to export your images and specify what resolution they should be scaled to.
    One of the issues I have with the iPhoto export function is that you have no control over the amount of JPG compression in the exported photos, which has a direct relationship to the resulting file size. So I like to use a program called "Downsize" http://www.stuntsoftware.com/Downsize/ which will allow you to specify maximum image dimensions as well as JPG compression. You will also then be able to check how large the resulting files are in the Finder before using them in iWeb.
    Whenever you are scaling photos for use in iWeb, it's important to realize that any additional changes that you make to the photos in iWeb will cause the image to be converted from jpg to png. This may impinge on your ability to control the filesizes directly. The way to get around this is to scale your photos to exactly the size you want and then after dragging them into iWeb, click on the "Use original size" button in the Inspector Metrics tab. Also, don't apply any other effects to your images like rotation, frames, drop shadows... If you want these, you should do these in external applications as well. These are my recommendations only if you want to have complete control over your filesizes. It's certainly not required.
    But as far as your 50mb images go, definitely scale them down before bringing them into iWeb. Otherwise, iWeb will rescale the images for you, but it will ALSO throw a copy of your 50mb file into your Domain file to refer to in publishing. This would cause your Domain file to balloon in size quite rapidly. To put things into perspective for you on this, the Domain file for my entire site is only 80mb.

  • List view file size is wrong until I reopen window

    Hi,
    Often, if not all the time, Finder windows will a) not show the number if items in the folder and b) the file size for newly added items, since the window was opened, will be wrong. Example: I convert .mov files to .dv. When the converter (USBVision Exporter) finishes, I'll look at the file in that window. It will have a size of maybe 4k or so. After I close that window and reopen it, the file size will be correct, hundreds of mb or a gb or so. Just waiting for the Finder to show the correct size is futile. I have to close the window and reopen it for the Finder to show the correct size. If the window is not open, often if not all the time, I'll need to open it, close it and reopen it again to get the correct file size to show.
    Actually, lately to get the correct file size to show I may have to select that file and then the Finder will update it's size. Reopening the window does nothing however many times I reopen it. That ain't right... It should show the correct size whenever the window is open.
    Why does this happen? (The Finder not showing the number of items is not necessarily coincidental to this but is a similar problem.) This has happened pre-10.4.6 but I am not sure how far back, maybe since I bought the machine, 11/05 (10.4.4?).
    Thank you.

    Annoying isn't it? Sometimes I have to relaunch Finder to get it to update. Send Apple Feedback to let them know just how annoying it is:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
    At least you and I can actually see the files that were added--lots of people don't even get that much, especially if they're dealing with a Network folder.

  • Show file size in Cell Extras? (Either Compact or Expanded, or anywhere in Grid for multiple images simultaneously)

    I've searched and seen several suggestions saying to change Metadata to Exif & IPTC to see the file size, but that's for only one image at a time. Under Cell Extras (both Compact and Expanded) I see options for Megapixeps, Cropped Dimensions, File Name, Extention, and a bunch of other options, but no file size. I suspect this is because file size isn't a metadata field and simply a file attribute (that may be incorrect, but regardless...) is there really no way to have file size visible in the thumbnail cells in Grid view in the Library? I'm trying to reduce redundancy and viewing file size of multiple images at a glance based on my Library Filter criteria would be a huge help. Thanks to anyone who can help sort me out!

    Sure. I have a catalog with 22,000 images indiscriminately imported from hundreds of folders and multiple drives from this year alone (partially lost a RAID array to a corrupt index and recovered a dump of the files so I'm terribly disorganized juggling emergency redundancy backups wherever I had 50 gigs here, 100 gigs there, and working to clean up and organize my photos one year at a time ), including raw, jpg, websized jpg, png, tiff and psd (flattened and with layers/adjustments) and am now trying to identify my keepers and delete unnecessary files. I have 22 terabytes of personal files and photography spread chaotically and while I now have proper discipline when saving variants, I didn't always and want to remove unneeded, rejected, and duplicate images. I don't expect to be caught up for months or longer depending on my free time and sanity. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as keep the raw delete the rest. Sometimes I have multiple PSD documents with different version names and edits, sometimes with multiple layers, and I have to use a variety of information to identify which one is indeed the correct one to keep...or open them all/both.
    Often, file size can be an indicator for me and aids in making the decision more quickly. For instance between 2 psd files with the same Megapixles I'm often able to identify the flattened version vs the layers intact version by file size if it wasn't properly noted in the filename, which unfortunately due to a combination of bad or evolving practices and being tired or rushed happens more often than I'd like to admit. One I just came across that brought me here searching was 3 similarly named and appearing PSD files of a panorama, all with the same MP/dimensions. One was flattened, one was the original stitch, and one was flattened with a few masks, adjustments, and an extra layer, and being the one I'd want to keep. Filesize helped me quickly identify which was which. Also sometimes dimensions are misleading, like when a panorama is first created and uncropped, its dimensions are larger, but a tighter cropped image with multiple layers and a larger file size indicates to me that it is newer and more finished, even though smaller dimensions typically indicates a crop and may not be a 'master' copy. Additionally, 2 images with different names but the exact same file size are very likely duplicates (at least in my workflow) but 2 similarly looking images with the same dimensions could be retouched/not, sharpened/not, have noise reduction/not, and I'd have to view them in detail to determine if they were in fact identical. For my purposes (since these are my personal fine art images & I have the raw files incase I occasionally mess up) I'm often willing to trade an educated guess for my time. Seeing identical file sizes on 2 apparently similar images is good enough for me to delete one.
    I can select them individually and check...it's not a horrific problem. But it would save me time so I was hoping I had simply missed how to view that. My reasoning is 'why not' have the option available with all the others? Me personally, I don't care about megapixels when I already have the dimensions, that's just redundant and honestly much less helpful than LxW. File size would be an additional tool I would use, though. There are other examples but the main thing is that I do spend time checking filesize, and specifically when comparing multiple images, so having it displayed in the cell would be a time saver for me.

  • How do I show file size in the Finder icon view for images?

    How can I add the file size to the icon view "File Info" for images?
    I know how to get it to display the image size under View Options. In this mode it shows pixel dimensions for some images (not for svg or pdfs tho) and file size for some non-images (rar, zip, but not txt or plain text files).
    Is there some plist I can modify?

  • Added views = added file size

    Hello,
    A general comment and a quick question:
    Comment:
    I am working on my 1st 3D PDF; I exported a .3ds file from 3DS Max @ 4.5 mb., imported into Adobe Acrobat 3D with a Mesh Quality and Texture Quality both reduced to 80%, saved my file as pdf file @ 1.4 mb (really awesome). I then added 12 views, hiding various parts, saved my file which increased the file size to 6.8 mb = 450 kb per view.
    I opened up PDF Optimizer>Clean Up>Compress entire file, saved my file, which dropped the file size down to 1.92 mb(super, very happy).
    Question:
    In the hopes of getting my file fize even smaller, is there a general rule of thumb when working with .3ds files in Acrobat 3D;like... the best file compression routine/settings/procedure to use when compressing .3ds files embedded in pdfs? Is there documentation based around general compression and best practices for compression for different file types when exporting from the native 3d programs, importing to Acrobat 3D and saving as .pdfs? I can't imagine making my file too much smaller, but one can always hope.
    Thanks,
    ~Chipley

    Hey Chipley,
    Given that the .3ds format does not give you access to Acrobat 3D's PRC conversion format, I think you're on the right track with reducing Mesh and Texture Quality. Those two areas tend to make up a lot you file size. I think the only way to really do this with a .3ds file type is to possibly reduce the Texture quality a little more. The use of the PDF Optimizer was a great idea. It would be hard to give you better idea than the approach you're already taking.

  • Viewing Folder/File sizes in list view

    Anyone know of a good app to preview folder/file sizes across the entire HD?
    Since I transitioned to a MBP I suffer from juggling my data from HD to external FW drives, especially when I return from traveling or I leave to travel some more. So I find myself in the time-consuming process of hitting "Get Info" on a few hundred folders to find where the data-heavy files exist on my HD, so then I can move them off to FW drive to get more HD space. I practice good file management but even still podcast downloads or project files from my students, colleagues, etc. can get out of control. I can narrow down the sources to Movies, Pictures, etc. and the Applications support files in my Library but would much rather be able to view the folder sizes in one list and locate the heavy files much faster. Maybe there is an Automater workflow? Or I just haven't been able to find the preference in the viewer so that I can see folder sizes, not just the "--" under the size column. I haven't been able to figure it out.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Estimate the Import Time by viewing the DUMP File Size

    Its very generic question and I know it can varry from DB to DB.
    But is there any standard way that we can Estimate the Oracle dump import time by viewing the Export Dump file size ?

    Well, it's going to be vaguely linear, in that it probably takes about twice as long to load a 2 GB dump file as to load a 1 GB dump file, all else being equal. Of course, all things rarely are equal.
    For example,
    - Since only index DDL is stored in the dump file, dumps from systems with a lot of indexes will take longer to load than dumps from systems with few indexes, all else being equal.
    - Doing a direct path load will generally be more efficient than doing a conventional path load

  • Viewing combined file sizes?

    I'm new to the Mac, having come to it in the last couple of weeks from many many years of PC use.
    I have a question about Finder:
    In Windows Explorer, if you select a few files, the status bar at the bottom of the Explorer screen would tell you what the combined file size is of any files selected. I cannot seem to find a similar thing in Finder, is there a quick and easy way to do it?

    You can press Command-Option-I for the File Inspector, and leave it open. It will go away when you aren't using the finder, but will reappear whenever you go to the Finder, and will show the total size of any selected files.

  • How can I display file size in Finder

    Hi folks,
    I am trying to figure out where 40GB of data is hiding. I would like to see file sizes in the Finder window associated with my folders in Mountain Lion 10.8.2..  I'm having, what seems to me, a strange problem. When I 'Get Info' on my Hard Drive, the disc space left is only 40GB out of 120GB (ie used being 80GB). My confusion is that when I painstakingly go through the files, I can only account for 48 GB with 'Get Info' on each folder. This is a rather combersome process and I am hoping there is a work around for viewing the file sizes within Finder and not having to open 'Get Info' on each and every folder like I have been.
    I have a MacAir 13 inch 2011
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your time and suggestions, dominic23.
    I looked through both links and sadly, none of these suggestions have worked. I have tried many on my own since posting trying to figure out why the volume is being doubled on my hard drive. I've deleted log files, and done a sweep with Onyx to no avail. Strangely, the option of seeing the volumes under 'About this Mac' and 'System' does not have a listing for storage. Weird. I am the only user/administrator on this computer and I don't have shared files.
    I'm just stumped.

  • Edit File Size?

    Is it possible to edit or modify the (file) size of a photo using iPhoto? Thanks.
    Background Notes:
    I've uploaded a couple of photos to my .Mac site, but when I view them on my website, the photo takes up the whole page rather than just a small part of it.
    I hand-code the pages I upload to my .Mac site using.
    I know I can do this using Adobe Photoshop but that's an added expense I really can't afford right now.

  • File size of corrected jpegs expands to half the size of the original

    Using a Canon 1Dx, I have an option of utilizing both slots and assigning different file types to each.  In one slot I shoot RAW, and on the 2nd slot I shoot a JPG backup.  Typically though I'll do all my work on the RAW file in Lightroom 5.  The unimported JPG shot on the second slot expands to approx. 51MB.  But the CR2 file, imported to Lightroom 5 and then exported as a corrected JPG, only expands to 28MB.  Am I missing something on import/export that would reduce the filesize of the corrected JPG?  I cannot find a setting that is toggled that augments import/export size.  Is this a bits per channel issue?   Similarly, I have the same issue with Bridge.  When converting a CR2 file to JPG it expands to the same 28MB filesize.  My client wants his JPG to expand closer to that 50MB number.

    dean5432 wrote:
    When the JPG file is opened, it shows as 51MB.  When the CR2 file is opened it's 28MB.  I was under the mistaken impression that the files would produce equally sized JPGs, and that somehow in the output from Lightroom it was constraining the size of the finished image.
    When you say "opened" what  'MB' reading are you reffering to? Lightroom can show the image file's Resolution (5184 x 3456), File Size (MB), and Megapixels. What does LR show for these three reading, in particular you should be interested in the image 'Resolution' value.
    When viewed in PS your Canon 1Dx raw image files should show a 'Document Size' of:
    5184 x 3456 x 3 (RGB) x 2 (16 bit data) = 107,495,424 Bytes ÷ 1,048,576 (# of Bytes in MB) = 102,515,625 Bytes = 102.5 MB
    Your full-size Camera JPEG images should be exactly 1/2 since they are 8bit images = 51.3 MB
    I can confirm these numbers with my Canon 600D, which also uses a 5184 x 3456 resolution sensor.
    You may have your camera set to shoot M-Raw (3888 x 2592) or S-Raw (2592 x 1728) with full-size JPEG (5184 x 3456).

  • Reduce PDF File Size - any ideas?

    Hi all,
    I have a C++/C# programs that generates PDF's in Adobe Reader using Infragistics.  This is a recent change from using VS View as our old method of illustrating - we now use Infragistics.  This has resulted in our PDF File sizes almost doubling due to us now using Bookmarks within the PDFs and also having to embed the fonts.  There are some pictures used but these are already very small so they are not the issue.  I was wondering does anyone have any ideas of how we could possibly reduce the size again or any possible work arounds.
    Any help would be great.

    Where do these EPS files come from Photoshop or Illustrator?
    Illustrator
    There may be nothing wrong with EPS files technically, they are considered archaic in a modern workflow. Best to save as a .ai with pdf compatible file - or to save them as  PDF x4a with Illustrator Editing Capabilities enabled.
    But I don't think there's any need to run out and convert all your files - perhaps keep it in mind going forward.
    Photoshop
    EPS is really not the best format. If it's pure raster then PSD or TIFF would be preferred format, if it's Raster + Vector Shapes, Vector Masks, Text Layers then PDF is preferred over EPS (with photoshop editing capabilities enabled).
    File sizes react differently depending on the content on the choice of compression. Heavy Vector files from Illustrator can cause Huge file sizes in PDFs.
    See this article (and more importantly the comments!)
    http://indesignsecrets.com/creating-smaller-pdfs-from-a-vector-dense-book.php
    If you can provide a bit more info  on your workflow and what settings you are using to save it would be great.
