What size jpeg is aperture uploading to photostream?

I have just started to play around with Aperture and photostream.  I put 6 RAW photos from Aperture on my iMac into photostream and then they showed up in photostream on my MacBook Air's Aperture photostream.  I then opened the Aperture library structure (show package contents) and found the Master files were jpegs between 2-5MBs in size where my RAWs are ~20-25MB in size.  So obviously only a jpeg version is being uploaded/synched through the photostream and not the RAW file (which is probably good as even 6 jpegs was fairly slow to upload).  My question is whether one can control what size, quality etc of jpeg is being transfered through photostream between two Macs/Aperture libraries?

Okay, now I'm totally confused as to what aperture is doing.  I uploaded a couple more pictures and this time they showed up on my other two macs as CR2 Raw files whereas last night the ones I uploaded came down as jpegs except for one that wasn't showing up last night and now shows up as a CR2 also.  I also changed the preview settings to a higher setting, forced Aperture to create a new preview for one of the previously uploaded images and then tried to add it again to photostream but it didn't add anything new as it already had that file.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing aperture to add jpegs sometimes and Raws other times?

  • Aperture won't export full-size jpegs

    I'm trying to export full-size jpegs, but Aperture is sending out 24 KB images. I'm selecting the edited versions I want, then going File>Export>Version. I have the dialog set to JPEG - Original Size. Still, what comes out is a thumbnail.
    Aperture 3.4.5
    OSX 10.8.5
    MacBook Pro
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Check, if your export preset "JPEG - Original size" is still set correctly.
    In the "Export" panel set the "Export Preset" pop-up to "Edit".
    In the "Edit" panel make sure, that "Size to" is set to "Original Size", and the quality to a high value, at least 10.

  • My photo stream is no longer working.  Both my icloud settings in my phone under "photos" as well as my pc icloud pictures are all set to "on" and pics are no longer uploading to photostream. What's up?

    I experienced this problem recently but was able to solve it by signing out of, then back into Photo Stream on the computer. This will temporarily remove your photos, but once you get signed back in, it will repopulate the photos. Be sure you have updated to the latest version as well.

  • Finding photos on my MAC and Editing JPEGs in Aperture or Photoshop

    Hello all!
    This has been a great forum and I have learnt tons of information.  I'm a recent convert to MAC computers and I have been working with Aperture 3.  Whenever I upload images from my camera to my laptop, it automatically uploads into Aperture 3.  Now I am having trouble importing select images into Photoshop CS5.  When I go to Finder and select pictures, there is an icon titled "Aperture Library".  When I click on that it opens Aperture and I can view all my photos in the folders I created.  How do I export a single photo into Photoshop for editing?  How can I view my photos in folders without opening up Aperture?  I'm used to being able to do this with my PC, so I assumed the MAC would work in a similar fashion.  I assumed that instead of the "Aperture Library" icon, there would be folders and subfolders corresponding to the folders and subfolders I created in Aperture.  Please help!!
    Also, my camera only shoots JPEG images (no RAW).  Is it true that I can't edit JPEG images in Aperture...or at least this is not recommended?  This is what I have read, as I will degrade the image quality.  It appears, though, that I can edit the JPEG images in Photoshop CS5, correct?  I'm at least able to edit the pictures using the "Camera Raw" feature in Photoshop, from what I have read.
    Thanks in advance for your help.  I've been scouring the internet for answers to no avail.  If you feel another post answers my question, feel free to link the post in your response.
    Thanks again,
    Mike

    Thanks Ernie.  Your reply was much appreciated and what you said clarified a few things.  I did watch several tutorials about Aperture 3 and they stated that there is no point in editing a JPEG in Aperture.  Basically your camera is already compressing (or reducing the quality) of the image in order to convert to JPEG, which is obviously a smaller size than RAW.  Therefore, when you make edits to a JPEG in Aperture, you are again compressing the image, and reducing the quality even further...potentially to unacceptable levels.  Is this not true...at least for someone learning photography editing / manipulation.  My goal is to make something look good to the average person...I'm not trying to win any awards here.  Does the same hold true for photoshop? Put it this way....I'm an aspiring amateur . 
    Also is it possible to view your photos outside of Aperture...somewhere in the Finder menu?  Aperture is my default program...when I plug my camera into my laptop, Aperture opens up and all my photos are imported there.
    I was thinking of buying a point and shoot camera that also took RAW photos.  Just with all the money I've spent this last six months (macbook pro, logic studio, aperture, photoshop, akai mpk25, external lcd monitor, and krk speakers), I'd rather stick to my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH22.  Wow...it's going to be hard to look at my credit card statement .  At least I have 0% for 18 months!!
    Thanks again.  Any additional input is appreciated.

  • How can I limit the size of a file upload?

    I am uploading a file using a file reference using the code below.  I want to  limit the file size (bytes) of the uploaded file to 100k, so that a huge file won't crash the browser or my SWF.
    What's the best place in the following process to test this, and actually prevent the large file from being loaded?  Is that even possible?
    private function uploadImageBtn_clickHandler() : void {
         var arr:Array = [];
         arr.push(new FileFilter("Images", "*.gif;*.jpeg;*.jpg;*.png"));
         fileRef.browse(arr);
    private function fileReference_select(evt:Event):void {
         fileRef.load();
    private function fileReference_complete(event:Event):void {
         var loader:Loader = new Loader();
         loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loader_complete);
         loader.loadBytes(fileRef.data);
    public function loader_complete (event:Event) : void {
         trace("Loader info = "+event.currentTarget.bytesLoaded); // file size in bytes
         var sourceBMP:Bitmap = event.currentTarget.loader.content as Bitmap;
         bgImage.source = sourceBMP; 

    Thank you. I just needed to be pointed in the right direction. After looking over this stuff, including FilePermission, I think this may give me what I was looking for. It will be a while before I get to implementing it or testing something like this, I'm just trying to get a grasp on all of the things I need to do and how to approach it.
    By doing this I can control how much filespace it can use.
    I can control CPU usage by monitoring for extra threads that don't belong and killing or settings the priority on it.
    Now I just need to think of something to monitor how much memory the plugin uses. I suppose I could gc, then store the current memory usage, then execute the plugin, gc again, and measure the size again. Does that sound like a reasonable way to estimate it's memory usage? I'm not looking for tiny changes, I just want to see large, substantial increases.

  • Exporting smaller size JPEGs

    In managing a library of thousands of scans of LP record covers I typically save one very large .psd file. I save a 2nd cropped reduced .jpg for use in FileMaker and iTunes and possible web use.
    Now with Aperture I don't need to save an additional copy of the smaller file. But a resaved JPEG from GraphicConverter at 300x300 is approx. 45k. The same cropped version exported from Aperture is about 245k. I'm wondering if this is because GConverter allows me to save without a resource fork. Or is it all because of the quality of the preview chosen in Preferences?
    Does exporting for email reduce a file size more than a version export?

    The curious thing is that when I try to export full size jpegs through the email function,
    Do you mean exporting through the e-mail the EXACT SAME photos that you were discussing above?
    Have you done any cropping of the photos? What is the size, in pixels, of one of these photos according to Lightroom? What is the size, in pixels, of the corresponding exported photo, according to your operating system?
    Can you show us screen captures of the export dialog box?
    At this time, I am not going to deal with the print at A4 size being pixelated, as printing introduces a lot of other places where something can go wrong. To see if the problem is in the export, I want to know if you look at the exported photo outside of Lightroom, does it appear pixelated or not?

  • Jpegs will not upload

    Some of my jpegs will not upload to an email or to my website. There seems to be no pattern between which ones work and which ones don't. I use Aperture to create my jpegs, then upload them to my website. Some work. Some don't. What gives??

    However, the resulting
    "Site"folder shows the jpegs still have spaces in
    their names, even though I removed them from the name
    of the jpeg.
    Very strange. You might try renaming the site with Inspector to something else than Site and republishing, to guarantee you have a totally new set of files.
    Or, does
    anybody know of an application that can upload files
    (ftp) with spaces in their names?
    It's not the ftp program. You can't have spaces in file names on most web servers, they won't accept the files.

  • Is there a wifi-enabled camera that will automatically upload to Photostream like the iPhone?

    I love that I can take a photo on my iPhone and it will upload to Photostream and appear in Aperture automatically. I've heard that there are wifi-enabled digital cameras (though I really couldn't name one of them). Do any of these cameras have the ability to upload photos to Photostream in the same manner as an iOS device?

    I doubt it. At this time uploading to Photostream is exclusive to Apple devices.

  • How do I process raw .dng or .pef from pentax k20d into .tiff 's (or jpegs) in aperture 3?

    hi all my friends!
    how do I process raw .dng or .pef from a pentax k20d into tiffs or jpegs in aperture 3? (i have the trial only but will buy a3 if i actually can learn how to use it in 30 days...which i've failed so far)... the raw files are taking up too much space on my HDD. i understand how to change the colors, sharpness etc of the raw files. but how do i actually turn raw files into a tiff or jpeg to just keep in the library in aperture? i have no intention of keeping the raw's.. I just shoot raw to get better jpeg or tiff results.
    also I would greatly appreciate some tips how to do this in batches fast and easy. I have yet to yield images so good i will actually want to spend time perfecting them. for now i just want an easy way to turn raw files into tiffs or jpegs with some standard or completely auto mode. i can do it in camera but it is time consuming.
    and you cant convert raw to jpeg or tiff in iphoto, right?
    best regards, Joakim
    p.s. and thank you who will answer this...i can't find the answer anywhere...tried for a whole day... d.s.

    do you know if the raw files are some way made more compact when you shut down aperture? cause i mean, +20MB for a pic is a lot of space on the hard drive vs. 5MB for a jpeg or so...of course keeping your raws would be the optimum if they simply don't take that much more space than a jpeg... how does aperture do it? are the files "zipped" when not in use?
    No, the size of the files doesn't change, Aperture doesn't compress or otherwise alter the masters.
    and in either case, can you put the aperture archive/library somewhere else than on your local HD, like a portable 1 TB HD? mine is only 250 Gb or so and running low...
    This is doable and most people running on laptops use this method in one form or another. The best results are  obtained by keeping the library on the internal HD but storing the masters on an external HD. The masters in this case are referred to as 'referenced' (when the masters are in the actual Aperture library they are referred to as 'managed' )
    By putting the masters on an external disk but keeping the library on the internal you get the best of both worlds, reduced internal disk consumption and better speed accessing the Aperture library. If the library itself was on the external HD, especially if it was USB, you could notice decreased performance.
    There has been much written about this type of setup here in the discussions. Searching the list here should get many articles discussing this topic with lots of very good advice.  Also spend some tim with the User manual, Apple did a good job with it and the fist few sections really explain the various bits of the library and the different ways to set it up.
    As i wrote in my first question, is there an easy way to adjust the values of a 100 raw files automatically?
    To adjust a large number of images try this: Select one image and adjust  it as you like. Then select Metadata->Lift Adjustments, a HUD will open. Now select the other 99 images and in the HUD that opened select Stamp Selected Images, all those 99 images will now have the adjustments you applied to the first image.
    Again this is all covered in the manual.
    Good luck

  • What's differences between camera roll and photostream?

    what's differences between camera roll and photostream files?

    Camera Roll is all photos & videos taken directly with the device, including screenshots, and also any images saved from a text message, email or website.
    Photostream is a service that, after you've taken such a photo, after you close out the Camera app (or switch to a different app or your home screen), uploads a copy of that photo via wi-fi to your iCloud Photostream account. 
    Camera Roll photos are saved until you delete them.
    Photostream photos will remain in Photostream for 30 days minimum.  After that, they will be automatically purged from the system.  If there are photos in your Photostream that you would like to save permanently, copy them to your iPhone's Camera Roll, or download them to your computer using the iCloud Control Panel.

  • Do I need to reduce the images size in pixels before upload them to M.Me?

    Do I need to reduce the images size in pixels (actual size jpeg 5616 × 3744 pixels/766kb) before upload them from iPhoto to a Mobile Me Gallery?
    Otherwise they will be heavy or the upload process take care of that?
    It would be nice that iPhoto took care and optimize the images to display online without any more work, because I´ve 1200 images to upload and they´re jpegs 5616 × 3744 pixels. It´s just to viewing purposes. Not o download or print.
    Thanks.

    In fact no matter if I use a High or Medium compression size JPEG, the size after upload is the same.
    Starts with 1,5 MB/5600px (high) or 780kb/5600px (medium) JPEG and ends after upload in 115kb for a 1024px image.
    This means that iPhoto auto compress in order to publish to Mobile Me, even if we start with a bigger file.
    I hope this info is useful to others.
    Thanks.

  • Exporting full size Jpegs from DNG converted files

    Hi there
    I imported some RAW files into Lightroom 4, which I then copied/converted to DNG, then edited them. I now want to export them as full size, high-quality jpegs but I only seem to be able to export them at a maximum of about 800kb, which is far lower than full-size. Is this to do with first the conversion to DNG from RAW on the import? Am I best copying them from raw and not converting them to DNG at all? Next question is, will I have to import the original RAWs again and re-edit them to be able to export as full-size high quality jpegs or is there some way to not have to do them again? Many thanks, Sophie

  • Some photos were not uploaded to Photostream

    Photos taken yesterday evening were not uploaded to Photostream. Automatic upload seems to have resumed today, but only the pictures I took today. Is there a way I can get last year's photos uploaded to Photostream without importing them to a computer?

    Nope--sorry. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with an AppleCare rep the other day. He forwarded me a bunch of articles from the Apple website explaining what kinds of images were not compatible with the iPhone. None of that criteria, however, matched my photo.
    He also had me clear my iPhone photo cache (sorry, I forget the file's actual name). While I no longer get the error message when syncing, the photos still don't sync.
    While the error message just listed one picture, based on the number of photos in the album in iPhoto and the number of photos on my iPhone, it was clear that three pictures weren't syncing, but I wasn't sure what the other two photos were. He suggested trying to determine the other two pictures and then seeing what the similarities were among the three photos.
    At that point though I just gave up and wrote off the problem as one I'll live with.

  • Where do i go to find the size of a slidehshow in apurture, I want to export it and need to know what size USB to use.

    where do I go to find the size of a slideshow in aperture so I know what size USB to export it to?

    Click on the mail app, then at the top left side, click on yahoo/gmail/exchange whatever account your using.
    then you should see all your mailboxes,  you'll see inboxes and accounts, go into accounts to whatever email and then you should see your trash./

  • What size should i save my pictures to make a good high def. DVD?

    Ok, I am using Elements 10 with Premere 10 to create a DVD high definition movie of our trip to Rome to display on our hi def tv. What I want to know is what size should I save my pictures after fixing them. The JPEGS are usually saved to around 2 mb while the NEF's are saved around 6-11 mb's.  I am afraid that the 2 mb files will not retain enough data to show well on the high def TV and maybe the 11 mb pictures may be overkill resulting in long rendering times and larger movie sizes. Anyone have any information on this. Both the Elements 10 and Premere 10 manuals don't address this. The only thing I could find was that they support up to 4086 x 4086 size pictures. Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I am not an expert on this subject but since nobody has replied yet, I thought I would give you my current thoughts on the subject so then someone can either confirm it or shoot me down in flames.
    If we are talking about a HD TV, they have a screen resolution of about 1920 x 1080 or 1360 x 768 so if your images are greater than that, something has to do some down sizing.
    I think that a normal DVD can has a limitation on size of 720 x 480 (NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL). To get a greater resolution than that you need to talk about Blu-ray.
    The important thing to think about is the aspect ratio. The widescreen TVs are 16:9 and your photos are probably 4:3. If you want a full screen picture without black margins each side then I suggest that you do some cropping first.
    I tend to crop to 16:9 aspect ratio (using crop tool) and then resize the image to 1920 x 1080 (using image resize). I use a larger size if I know I want to use pan & zoom effects. I use that size, even though some pixels will be lost, just in case I switch to Blu-ray in the future and it might save a bit of work then.
    Hope that helps (and is correct)
    Brian
