Why are my files exporting so small? (15 mb RAW files exporting to 2 mb JPEG)

I'm trying to export RAW files into JPEG for a client and haven't experienced this issue before. I shot on large format RAW and original files are around 15 mb. When I export them in lightroom they end up around 2 mb. I know that I can still print large files from this but I'm worried that my (wedding) clients will see the file size and worry about enlarging prints, etc. Is there a way to export them so they are larger? I'm currently exporting at 100%. Help please!

File size really doesn't provide useful information. And since JPG is compression, I see nothing unusual about a 15mb original RAW exported as 2mb JPG. If you are worried about file size, then you are not looking at the right numbers.
You need to look at number of pixels in the original image, and number of pixels in the exported file. Anything else will lead you in the wrong direction.

Error while reading raw file created in previous task using raw file destination

I am reading a flat file and creating an raw file using raw file destination. path of the raw file is in a variable. now I am reading the raw file using the rawfile source component. I am able to execute if the .raw file is available. But
when we deploy into the production the .raw will be created runtime, so the package is getting failed while evualting the variable which hold the path of the variable. since the .raw is not available i am not able to proceed further. it's in ssis 2008
r2
Error at Load Data [Raw File Source [401]]: File "c:\test123.raw" cannot be opened for reading. Error may occur when there are no privileges or the file is not found. Exact cause is reported in previous error message.

I am also using a raw file destination using a variable.
I have set DelayValidation = true on both the DataFlow task and even the Sequence Container.
I get the same error when I run the entire ssis package, however
when I run the individual container or individual task it runs without an error.
Also, something interesting is the error is not the same path as the variable name.
Warning: The system cannot find the file specified.
Error: File "C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp\GUIDNumber\\RawFileName" cannot be opened for reading. Error may occur when there are no privileges or the file is not found. Exact cause is reported in previous error message.
The variable is "C:\Temp\ProjectName\RawFileName"
I have other RawFile sources in this same project, but only this one file is giving me grief.
Any other suggestions? Is this a bug?
Have you set an expression for connection string property of raw file? Is it based on variable/expression or configuration? If yes, check the value of variable/ expression or configuraton item at runtime by putting a breakpoint in the pre execute event of task
and make sure path value its getting is correct. It may be that path is getting a different value at runtime due to expression/configuration set for it.

After reinstalling CS6 the bridge photo downloader isn't able to read raw files and fails to convert the raw files to DNG. Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard.

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

Why are all my paths disappearing when I save some files as jpegs?

I have 2 identical PSD files. Both have 10 different paths that are identical for each file. When I flatten and save one file as a jpeg the paths stay in the file just fine as is usually the case. When I open the jpeg the paths are still there as they should be.
When I save the other file as a jpeg all the paths are there after I've saved the file and BEFORE I've closed the file. After closing and reopening the file the paths are all gone. If I save the same file as a tiff the paths all stay as usual.
I've never seen this happen in almost 20 years of using Photoshop.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thank you

I am NOT using "save jpeg for web" just to be clear.
If I were, then the other image wouldn't be keeping any of its paths either.
I am using "Jpeg" in the Save As dialogue box.
If I edit the jpeg that lost its paths after opening it and hit "Save" it gives me the compression options dialogue box. Other jpegs just "save" when I hit save, I've never had a jpeg give me that dialogue box before when hitting just "Save".
If, after opening the image that lost its paths, I paste a path into that image and hit "Save"(using one of the same original paths from the same original psd file), it gives me the compression dialogue box. If I complete the "Save" and reopen the image, voila, the path I pasted into it is still there, and, if I edit the image and hit "Save" it becomes normal again and saves without showing the compression options dialogue box.

There really is no reason for this to happen. There are no differences in the images except for the content of the image and the file names.
I have tried new file names and still the same result.

This is a serious bug.

Why are no Pentax lenses in the Adobe Camera Raw lens profiles when processing JPG files?

I normally shoot and process raw files and use the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw for processing. Some of these files are converted to jpg for use on the net or e-mailing etc. Sometimes I want to make minor changes to the now converted jpg file and often go to Adobe Camera Raw for ease and speed of use. Lately I have gone back to some files that were not thoroughly processed as raw files before conversion to jpg. When, in ACR, I go to Lens Corrections panel, Profile tab, I Enable Lens Profile Corrections and choose Setup: Auto (or Default) and get the message, "Unable to locate a matching lens profile automatically".
I then go down to Lens Profile and click on Make with the intention of choosing the Pentax lens which I used for the photo. Here is the problem - there are only six choices under make, namely Apple, Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Sony and Tamron. I have no such issues when processing a raw file in Adobe Camera Raw. Pentax lenses are automatically detected and Pentax, along with Leica, Samsung, Zeiss, etc. are choices under Make of lens.
Do other people have this problem? Is there some setting I have missed? Is Adobe just not permitting some makers' lenses, for which there are profiles, to be corrected if the files are jpgs?
BTW, I have checked and the same issues exist for tiff files opened in ACR.

Assuming I read your post correctly, and that you're trying to use Lens corrections on JPEGs and TIFFs... I believe there's a completely different set of profiles for correcting already "developed" images (such as JPEGs and TIFFs). If I recall correctly (and it's been a while since I read about this), it's the same set that's used inside Photoshop for the Filter - Lens Correction tool (I hope someone here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I read this somewhere).
If your lenses are known to Camera Raw when you develop raw files, I suggest you will need to go all the way back to your Raw file and reprocess it from that stage. You'll get a better result anyway.

Why can't i open my Panasonic Lumix FZ45 RAW files in CS3?

why can't i open my RAW files?
I have photoshop CS3 with camera raw plug-in 4.6.0.30 on MacBook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and a Panasonic Lumix FZ45
I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
I have no available updates in photoshop so assume that I am up to date with those.
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks

I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
Yes, the Panasonic FZ45 is listed but it was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.2.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Then go to this table to see which versions of Photoshop are compatible with ACR 6.2: CS5 and later. Not CS3.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
So your options are to upgrade to CS6 or subscribe to CC (check out the Photoshop Photography Program: PS CC + Lightroom 5).
Or download the free DNG converter, convert all your FZ75 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

Why won't Lightroom 2.3 suddenly not import RAW files?

Why can't I import RAW files into Lightroom 2.3? I've imported them for years, until today, after I installed a Canon Pixma MX860 multi-purpose printer. Would this affect Lightroom? Now I get a Lightroom message: "The files could not be written." Tried to import from Canon 5D on a CF card and from a Panasonic Lumix on an SD card many times. Same result. I can pull the RAW files individually off the cards into Photoshop CS3 RAW window and adjust them, but can't on Lightroom. It won't automatically import the files and won't take them manually. Am using a PC with XP Professional. Any thoughts?

Are you sure it's the same problem as that user had?
What error message are you getting when you try to import a raw file?
What camera?
What version of LR?
What computer and operating system?
Did your ability to import raw files just suddenly stop, or have you never been able to import them?

Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Be sure the DNG Converter's compatibility is set to provide support for your version of ACR:

How to load Canon EOS 6D Raw files in CS5? [was:load raw files]

How do I load raw files from canon 6D camera into CS5 ?

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The EOS 6D requires Camera Raw 7.3 or higher.
CS5 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7. It is not compatible with Camera Raw 7+
Either upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud (US$30/month) or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US$10/month).
Alternatively, if you want to stick with CS5, convert all your Raw files to DNGs using Adobe's free DNG converter
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
Then open and edit the DNG files in CS5.

*HELP* why are "edit in photoshop" images smaller?

Ok, for the life of me (I've searched this forum high and low and can't find an answer) I cannot figure out why when I go to "edit in phototshop" my images end up being around 7x13 instead of full size. I always import the images in full resolution (from my Canon 5D).
Of course I can select the entire catalog and "export" and change the size to whatever I want to but I'm afraid when I'm opening them up in CS5 from LR3 that I'm losing image quality.
So I guess I have 2 questions:
Is there an adjustment that will allow me to "edit in" in FULL file size in CS5?
If not and I save the files in CS5, then I see them edited in my LR catalog and I go to export them and make the image size larger (say 20x30 from the 9x13) that it opened up as in CS5, is there IQ loss?
Hope that made sense.
Any help is appreciated!

You are not the only person who has been confused by this.
For digital images, the resolution in pixels per inch, or pixels per centimeter, are truly meaningless. They do not affect the exported photo in any way. The same is true for the Edit In ... dialog box. The result of an "Edit In ..." is always a digital file.
If you are exporting with the goal of printing an image, then you could set the units to inches, and select pixels per inch, and for example, if you wanted to print a 4x6, you could set the long edge in the Export dialog box to 6 inches and the resolution to 300 pixels per inch, and voila you get an image that has 1800 pixels on its long edge, this downsamples the image, and may not be strictly necessary if your image is actually larger than you need.
A "Better" way to think about this is the following example — my image is going to be printed at 8x10 inches, I want it to print at 300 pixels per inch, therefore I multiply 8x10 time 300 and discover that I need 2400x3000 pixels (or more!) in order to print properly.
So with the above explanation, I still have no idea why Edit In ... contains a resolution box, as you can always change the final size in your auxiliary editor. Having a resolution field in the Export Dialog box might make some sense in printing situations.

Why are some video frame sizes smaller than others?

I am copying a number of short amateur digital video movies onto a single DVD. All are 16:9 ratio, but whereas most fill the screen on my computer monitor and 16:9 ratio television, some appear as a smaller picture - still 16:9 ratio, but with a black border around all four sides of the picture. Can someone please explain what causes this, and is it practical to enlarge the smaller picture movies to match the full screen ones, or will the image quality be noticeably poorer? If it's practical to do, how do I do the enlarging? Thank you.

Why are my iphoto scans so small?

My scanned pictures are being imported to iphoto at a very small size (396x261 for example). I have an HP7310 all in one. Prior to upgrading to Mountain Lion, they were importing at 3 times that size. Any suggestions?

iPhoto doesn't appear to have any import settings that would automatically change resolution.
I'm sure you have, but have you verified the resolution size of the scanned photos before importing to iPhoto.

Why are link behaviors working in my render but not my export?

When I export my video, the link behaviors don't behave like they do when I preview the video in the player window. It's like the export feature doesn't even know they're there. What's going on?

Hi Ben, thanks for helping.
I set all of the Render settings as you said, both on the Preview Canvas as well on the Export settings.
My export is still different than my preview. Here are the problems (all link behaviors):
"Link Slit Scan"
Source Parameter: Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction
Apply To: Filters.Slit Scan.Glow
Notes: In the preview, the slit scan is glowing bright white. In the export, it's completely dark.
"Link Halftone"
Source Parameter: Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction
Apply To: Filters.Halftone.Mix
Notes: In the preview, the halftone triggers along with the refraction. In the export, the halftone doesn't exist.
Extra Note: This is the same behavior that keeps changing the target to "Filters.Bad TV.Mix" when I close and reopen the project.
"Link Bad TV"
Source Parameter: Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction
Apply To: Filters.Bad TV.Waviness
Notes: In the preview, the waviness triggers smoothly along with the refraction (when the Bad TV mix is up). In the export, the waviness is jittering out of control.
By the way, Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction is controlled by an audio behavior, but the Refraction itself is working just fine.
I'll check out Ripple Training too. Thanks!

Why are most app downloads these days as a .dmg file?

What ever happened to the old .sit, .cpt, .sea and other formats that used to dominate the Mac download world years ago? It seems like 99% of my app downloads these days are as a .dmg file. In wonder if they are better than .sit.

Apple includes built-in zip support, as well as DMG, of course.
It used to be that Apple included Stuffit Expander, but now, you need no extra software - assuming everyone moves to zip and DMG files.
Works well, and frankly, at first it bugged me, but now I prefer it.
That's likely due to 22 years of using Macs...
