What causes my images to be reduced in Kb size once they are uploaded?

I'm not complaining (since it makes my page load faster) but most of my images are 10K and when I try to reduce them smaller they look blurry. But when I upload my 10K images (I use Godaddy) they turn into 1K size and look great! How is that possible? I am looking at the sizes by using the firefox web developer toolbar.

FF Web Dev Toolbar shows image sizes/weights

Why does saving an Illustrator file as PDF cause the image to be reduced on the PDF document?

When I save a CS5 drawing as a PDF, the drawing is reduced in size on the resulting PDF page. This was not happening a few days ago, and I do not recall changing any settings. In fact, I have been unable to find any setting that affects this problem. Document set up and Page Set Up both show the CS5 page to 8.5x11, but the file properties in Adobe Reader show the PDF page to be 9x11.5 - which seems to cause the art to be reduced from its size on the CS5 page.
Can anyone help?

You should be able to simply select and delete them, if you can't, they might be on a locked layer, or grouped with other locked objects. You can also create trim marks in the save-as PDF process. If you have already saved your .ai file as a PDF with trim marks, you will need to re-save it as an .ai file in order to save it as an 8.5 x 11 PDF without bleed or crop marks. I should mention it's sometimes problematic to edit a PDF in Illustrator, for that reason I suggest you keep your file in .ai fomat as long as possible. Also, there are times when you do want to have bleed in your file.

Images not displaying in a folder b/c they are already in the library?

This has been driving me nuts and I'm sure it's a simple answer. Perhaps I'm overly used to iView.
In LR I add a folder that contains images that don't show up because LR says they are already in the library. Well that may be true, but I still want to see them as part of the folder I just added. This doesn't seem possible. Any answers or suggestion of where to look or how i should adjust by workflow. I've been through the help pages.
Thanks, Justine

I had created a folder in the Finder that I put copies of all my final selections in.
I imported that folder into the Library and got an error window showing multiple files and saying "The following photos will not be imported b/c they are already present in the library. to see these photos in the library select 'Show in Library'"
You can only choose one at a time, but when I do choose one and say "show in library" it doesn't show me it in the libarary. So I don't have an easy way of deleting them. I can delete the folder entirely and start again (will do that now) but what a pain as I'd already starred, color coded and so on. I should have resolved this first. Yes, auto updating would be nice. I originally thought the contextual menu with "check for missing photos" was that, but it's not.
sigh.

Can't choose what part of image to print when printing actual size.

I have a pdf file that needs to be printed out to actual size, since the image is a temlate for a part that I need to cut out. Since the actual size is bigger than the paper size, it shows a purple box in the preview box, indicating what part of the document it's going to print. The first time I printed the image, it let me slide the box or the slider below, left to right to select what part of the document on wanted on the paper. But, now it's just locked in place. I'm not sure what changed. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Adobe Reader XI. Printer is a Canon MP495.

Francine, thank you so much for the tips. It took me over two months but I finally got around to trying to take care of this.
I tried your suggestions in order. Steps 1-3 did not fix the problem, but reinstalling from Pacifist did (thank goodness!). Wish I had tried that from the get-go.
Thanks again to everyone for all the suggestions.
There are a couple of things to try:
1. If you haven't done so lately, try Disk Utility
and Repair Permissions. Won't hurt, it's quick and
easy, and there is a remote possibility that it will
help. It actually does occasionally fix something
strange like this.
2. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and
download the COMBO 10.4.8 updater (it is huge, like
148MBs) and run it, then Repair Permissions again.
3. Restart and hold down the Shift key when you hear
the startup chime. This will force the computer to do
a Safe boot. When you see the splash screen saying
"Safe Mode" release the Shift key. The boot will take
longer than normal as the system repairs the disk,
empties font caches, and disables startup items. Not
sure if Image Capture will run correctly with some
Apple startup items disabled, but you can try it.
Restart normally afterwards.
4. You can download Pacifist here:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
It will extract things from your Install disk so you
can install only what you need, in your case Image
Capture.
My Image Capture has never had a problem, so I'm
afraid all I can recommend is these general
approaches. Hope one of them helps.

What is the best method to reduce the Render size?

hi,
my movie files which i want to edit come to a total of 4GB and when i edit the movie and render the files it comes to a size of 20GB!..thats way to large and will take forever to compressor or export to a another format.
What do you guys recommend i do?..is it something to do with the timeline when i start a new file?.

do you mean that the VOB files totalled at 4gig, and that the converted files, the .mov's are 20gig?
Firstly, .mov doesn't really help in terms of describing the codec/format the media file is in... the '.mov' extension is a container/wrapper, not the codec. In the Final Cut Pro browser window it will tell you the actual codec (look for the colomn headed 'compressor').
The VOB files you converted are from a DVD, so by default, are compressed and small...
Now, assuming the codec is DV (pal) it would make sense that your files have gone from 4 to 20 gig's...
Unless i've totally misunderstood your problem...

Improper device removal caused my itunes to wipe clean of all my files. they are still on my computer but when i tried to tranfer it back, itunes freezes and has continued to do it as i have attempted to do it a few more times. what do i do?

all right, i'm not sure if this is the reason for the trouble i am experiencing, so i will shoot both possibilities out. my music is no longer on my itunes, and now that i am trying to transfer it from the music files on my computer, it freezes once it gets to a certain point (maybe around 320 song while it's verifying the artwork.. which i deleted possibly/accidentally) here are the reasons this may have occured: 1) i am new to transfering files to my external hard drive and improperly removed it from my computer (i know how to, i'm just a screw-up sometimes). 2) after downloading the newer version of itunes (which i did at about the same time of this occuring). can you help? i am an utter eff-up.

You are going to have to connect to the computer and restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Images become very compressed and grainy even when they are already compres

Hi Everyone,
This is my first time to the forum, Ive had a look here and around the internet but I havnt been able to find the solution.
Below is a link to an image showing what I mean.
http://s750.photobucket.com/albums/xx141/SRangott/?action=view&current=DVDGrab.p ng
The image on the left is the finished dvd playing back. The image in the middle is a video file that is compressed through compressor using the highest quality setting and finally on the right is the original image.
Ive tried setting up the pictures multiple ways. Originally I setup a slideshow, when I got the problem I tried converting the picture over to the correct aspect ratio in photoshop to no avail.
I then tried recreating the slideshow in FCP and exporting again through compressor and exporting a uncompressed file for dvd studio to convert. Neither of these solutions improved the quality at all.
Next I tried exporting the pictures through Adobe Premiere Pro cs4. This time I had more luck, there was almost no grain but it was incredibly soft and out of focus.
Now my thoughts at this stage are that the image just doesnt lend itself to compression at all with the dark areas. The image was originally compressed a bit and I got the original file from the slr camera. Its resolution is 2000x3000 at 3.5mg. No difference at all between the small and large file either.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated, im about ready to pull my hair out.

RGB is not a color space, it's a color model. Color spaces are sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB etc.
Since you're apparently not familiar with these concepts, you should work consistently in sRGB, which displays roughly right in all scenarios even in the absence of color management.
The default color space out of Lightroom (if you haven't changed it) is ProPhoto, which can quickly get you into trouble unless you know what you're doing. Change it to sRGB in Lr Preferences > External editing.
Don't change Photoshop color settings! That will quickly get you into an even bigger mess than you are now. Reset it to default settings and don't touch them again until you know more. What you need to change is Lightroom "Edit in Photoshop" color space.

My images look completely different while I'm working in Bridge and Photoshop (CS6) than they do once they are saved.

They look normal while I'm working on them in Bridge or Photoshop but when I saved them (doesn't matter how I save them - jpeg, png, it's all the same) and view them with any other program or on any other computer the blacks go through the roof and the contrast is way too high. I didn't have this problem at all on CS3 and I'm using the same computer and monitor.

The profile, in this case Adobe RGB, follows the file, that's the whole idea. The profile defines the colors you get with those specific RGB numbers. The only option when you save is to not embed it, which is usually a very bad idea, because then the RGB numbers no longer have a specific meaning. They're just arbitrary numbers.
The working space mainly matters when you create a new file. The document profile, if it already has one, overrides the working space. Put it this way: each file has its own working space, and then you have a backup working space in case the file has none.
(You can change this behavior in color settings > color management policies, but don't. The default is "preserve embedded profiles", and that's the only sensible setting. The other two will quickly send you out swimming with no dry land in sight. So to speak).
All that said, working in Adobe RGB is probably not a good idea until you get a better understanding of the implications. sRGB is the safe choice, it will usually display correctly without any special considerations. So if you have an Adobe RGB file and you want to use the safer sRGB instead, you convert to sRGB, with the menu item Edit > Convert to Profile.
Don't be confused by the fact that you then have sRGB as both document profile and monitor profile. That's coincidental, and just to set up a safe workflow. These two profiles are still separate and serve different purposes. The document profile defines the numbers in the file; the monitor profile describes the behavior of the monitor. But they're similar enough so that you can use it in both places.
So. What do you see now, with sRGB as monitor profile? You must close down Photoshop and relaunch it for the new profile to take effect. Are they similar or still different?

I have done what it said in a previous question and exported my IE RSS feeds, but I can't understand how to import them into FireFox ot how to view them once they are imported.

In a previous question, someone asked hoe to import RSS feeds from IE to FireFox:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/358684?s=rss&as=q
I have done as it says, but had trouble with the second step which was "installing OPML Support 1.5.2 extension for Firefox, which you can use to import OPML file you just exported from IE". I think I installed the extension, but now what? how does it help me import the feeds? And where do i view RSS feeds in FireFox?

How can I reduce the file size when saving a psd as a pdf

I have a psd with graphics and text, it is 8.5 x 11, 300 ppi
I flatten the image and go to save as .pdf I un-check all of the options in general.
In compression, I have tried a dozen different combinations and the way I've found to get a document that is not pixelated or blurry is to use jpeg 2000 > lossless or jpeg > maximum.
So I have a high quality document but the file sizes are around 900 kb.
I have downloaded other people's documents of the exact same type and size (8.5 x 11, 300 ppi) that I am making and viewed them in Photoshop, they are not pixelated or blurry and their file sizes are 300 kb or even less than 200 kb
How are they doing this?!

Delete all unused, invisible layers.
Sometimes zip compression is better than jpg compression (in the pdf output settings). Zip is lossless, and works better with non gradient colour or no images.
Flattening the image before you save it to pdf can reduce the file size if you are using jpg compression.
Post a preview of your pdf and we can comment further on how to reduce the file size.

I have problems with uploading images to my printing company have the images have been manipulated through CS6 i have saved images as jpeg but the printer company tell me they are not j peg, they will not upload images save from a camera are fine

I have problems with uploading images to my internet printing company when the images have been manipulated through CS6 and i have saved images as jpeg the printer company tell me they are not j peg,
but images saved from my phone or camera images that have not been manipulated upload fine, What am i doing wrong?

Save/Export them as JPG. Photoshop defaults to PSD, so make sure you select JPG and not just rename the file to .jpg.
There are two ways to save them as JPG: Regular Save as option or Save for Web & Devices
Take your pick.

I am having trouble printing 4x6, 1" bottle cap images, they are printing too small

I have a new iMac and cannot get standard 1" bottlecap images to print to the correct size. They print slightly smaller than 1". They are printed on 4"x6" photo paper. I am selecting that size when I print. I also can print from photoshop. Thanks for any tips!

Oh my...
It seems that, embarrasingly I was tripple checking everything for 4x6 prints but actually had 5x7 loaded in the printer!
Thanks for helping the hopeless.

Getting backround image to fit in all browser sizes

I have an image of a baseball field that I would like to use as the backround of a website I am building. The problem I am having is that the image doesn't adjust to the size of the browser if I shrink or inlarge the browser. Is there a way to get backround images to autofit the browser with dreamweaver?

No. Background images are static. They are the size that they are. You can't make a huge background fill viewport in all displays so don't even attempt to use this as your body background image.
The best backgrounds are small, seamless tiles or slices that you can repeat vertically and/or horizontally to fill the available viewport.
