Why are my photos going from MB to KB when I import them and sometimes not?

I swear this thing has a mind of its own! I'm back to photos magically becoming degraded to KB when in the original they're MB. HELP!

He shoots in Jpeg, with a Nikon D300s that is 12 megapixels. Here is a screenshot with the crop bar open....Not really sure what other screen shots would help you. This particular file started out as 3 mb and shrunk to 904 kb. Studio files are typically smaller starting out, so that is why the 3 mb.

  • Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when i open them?

    Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when I open them?
    I used my time machine back up from my old expired power mac and uploaded the contents onto my new iMac.
    All of the files uploaded successfully as far as I can see (except the old programs don't work and the consequently all those files are cactus :-( )however when I opened iPhoto only a few photos (500) where in some of the folders.
    I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon. They down loaded successfully into the correct folders and the thumbprints are visible. When I click on an individual photo the enlarged picture appears for an instant and then an explanation mark in a triangle appears in its place. 
    The original 500 pics actual worked... now after days of mucking around and with lots of advice I have doubled the number of 'photos' to 50000!!! Ahh,,,, and still the exclamation mark appears
    Is there anyway out of this predicament??

    This went wrong here:

    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
    I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

    It doesn't.
    When you import  Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg preview of the Raw automatically. When you import from iPhoto then Aperture brings over both versions.

  • Why are my photos different from originals in iPhoto 9.5.1?

    Hi
    I import photos from my iPhone 5S, if I then hit 'revert to original' in 'Edit' mode they look very different? Why is this?
    Is the iPhone or iPhoto adding certain qualities before I have done anything myself?
    I want to use the photos for a website and want them to look as good as possible across the web, different computers/screens/software etc
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel

    Is the iPhone or iPhoto adding certain qualities before I have done anything myself?
    With iOS version are you using?  And in what way are your photos looking different?
    "Revert to original" will remove any filters added in the Camera app. iPhoto on your Mac can undo certain adjustments added on the iPhone.
    Have you enabled effects in the Camera, like Chrome or Instant?

  • Why are most photos disappearing from albums in iWeb?

    I'm having a problem with the photo albums on iWeb.
    I drag a photo album from my iPhoto window in iWeb to the photo album web page and it becomes an album with slideshow capabilities. If I publish the site, everything appears fine. I save iWeb and exit.
    Now if I open iWeb again, all three of the photo album pages still exist, but on each page, only four of the original photos remain. The albums are supposed to have 29 photos, 35 photos, and 46 photos total. Now they each show four.
    I thought it was a fluke, so I added them all again including captions. Then I saved, closed and reopened iWeb. The photos in the web albums were gone again.
    I'm using iLife '09 with the iPhoto that exists on my laptop, but all the source photos are located on a Mac Mini in my local network. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    Note that the complete album as uploaded to the actual website still exists and works great. But if I publish the changes, the album will disappear.
    Thanks.

    Look under "More like this" on the right of this page, specifically "Re: no photo selected"; the discussion there may be of help.

  • Why are my photos downloaded from iphone blank?

    When I download via ios7 on to my macbook pro (4,1 from 2008) they sometimes come up with no image. My screen is unlocked.  I don't know if this is an iphone problem or a macbook problem. I have never had a problem until yesterday. I moved to ios7 a few days ago.

    Not that I know of. I just checked my phone settings and did not see anything. Plus, a while ago I went to my "personal" account on another part of my macbook and everything worked fine. Now, on my "business" account it says that my iphoto library is locked and wants to repair it even though both of my account are administrator accounts. I am worried about losing files as when I let Apple update  earlier this year, it wiped out much of my library from the last 18 months.

  • Why are calculation functions lost from Reader Extended PDF when downloaded from website?

    I am creating PDF forms with most fields performing calculations. I am saving the forms out as Reader Extended PDF> Enable Additional Features. When I email the form there is no problem with the person using the form, all calculations work. The person is able to save the form and all info is present.
    However, when the same file is posted on a website with a clickable link to download, once downloaded, all the calculation functions are missing from the fields. Additionally, when the user fills the form out anyway, the info in the fields is invisible.
    I am on a MAC OS 10 using Acrobat X Pro. The majority of the people going to the website and using the forms are on Windows. What am I doing wrong?

    It sounds like you're actually using the Preview application when viewing the form on your Mac. It does not support JavaScript, which is how the automatic calculations are implemented. It also corrupts forms when it saves them. A result of this corruption is when the form is subsequently opened in Acrobat/Reader, the fields are blank unless a field has the focus.

  • I imported vacation photos, got the color wheel and did a force quit. Now I can't find any of those photos, and of course I deleted them from the SD card when I imported them. Where can I find those photos?

    I imported vacation photos from my cameras SD card and deleted them when the import was complete. Then I moved them from Events into an Album. When trying to move 2 photos as once to another album I got the color wheel and locked up. I did a force quit but when I go back into iPhoto none of the recently imported photos appear - not in Events, the album, trash, etc. Where can I find those photos?

  • Where are my pictures stored on the hard drive when I import them into Aperture?

    I imported pictures into Aperature under the project name Christmas 2012. When I went into Finder to see where the pictures were actually placed on my hard disk, the folder didn't show up anywhere. These are new photos that I added to my hard drive.
    I then thought I would do a file search on some of the photos. One picture's file name was IMG_2260. When I searched All My Files for this file, it produced two different photos with the exact same file name IMG_2260!
    Now I'm really confused! Any help would be appreciated.

    . It just seems strange to me to not be able to find the actual photos with Finder.
    The actual photos do not exist as image files, until you export them. The only images that do exist are the originals that you import into Aperture. When you adjust images, enhance them, crop them, Aperture will only store the command, but not actually create the edited version.
    That has three advantages:
    Aperture saves space, because only the original image is stored.
    Aperture can easily undo any operation and you have a lossless workflow.
    Many adjustments can be accumulated into one operation and done very precisely, because the image need not to be rendered to 8Bit or 16 Bit versions in between. Only the final version needs to be encoded as image file.
    So, since the edited images do only exist in a state of limbo, you do not see them in the library as images.

    When you search for the originals with Spotlight or file search from the Finder, you may find the originals and previews of edited versions, that Aperture creates to share with the Media Browser. In addition to exporting the images, you can access them using the Media Browser from all applications that are compatible with iLife: Mail, Pages, Keynote, iWeb, ...

  • Why are my photos disappearing from my camera roll?

    I just recently got a new iPhone 6 and my photos from my camera are disappearing everyday. I don't know why because i have plenty of space on my phone and even bought the 20 GB iCloud monthly plan. I used to have a little over a thousand pictures and now if you go to the top of the camera roll they will disappear in order everyday and generally stays around 300 pictures but fluctuates daily. Please help, I am losing valuable pictures that I wish to keep forever.

    How exactly have you set up sharing? How did you set R/W on the Library "file"?

  • Why are my photo stills from iPhoto not showing in my iMovie?

    In the past (June 2011) I had no problems putting photos into my imovie project.  Now, when I slip photos between videos, the Ken Burns effect is applied to the last frame of the video before the photo, skips another photo or two and repeats the KB effect on the last photo before the next video.

    Raw files need to be opened and saved before the adjustments are applied.  I have no clue what your "batch save" does.
    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:

    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,

  • IPhoto won't delete the photos from my iphone once I have imported them and indicated to delete the photos from my phone.  Am I doing something wrong?

    I have imported several hundred photos from my iPhoen 5C into iPhoto library.  I selected yes to delete them from my iPhone but the photos remain on the phone.  Am i doing something wrong.  I don't want to pay apple a fee to get this answered via their support system.  This should be straight forward, shouldn't it?  Thanks.

    Are you asking about iCloud Photo Library (Beta) as described in: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support   ?
    In that case you will still see all photos on your iPhone, even after uploading the Photos to the iCloud Photo Library.  The photos on your iPhone may be light-weight optimized previews, if you have the setting
    Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library > Optimize [device] Storage   enabled.
    But as long as you have enough free storage, will the your iPhone keep the full resolution versions of the photos you access most frequently.

  • Why are some of my purchased songs cutting off when I play them on my iPod but play fine on iTunes on my laptop?

    Here's a question that's been bugging me for years, and I'm trying - again - to find an answer.  I have a couple dozen songs purchased off the iTunes Store that are clipped then I play the on my iPod (4th or 5th generation; sorry that I can't remember). They cut off in exactly the same places. Re-syncing never helps. The songs all play just fine on iTunes on my laptop.
    What's going on? How do I fix it?  Thanks in advance!

    Try deleting them from the iPod and redownloading them directly to the iPod
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    Next:
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can I keep my RAW images from having anything applied to them when I import them?

    Hi All,
    I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark III and I use a picture profile in my camera that keeps all my images with low saturation, low sharpness etc... but whenever I import RAW pictures into Lightroom, I initially see the images the way I saw them in my camera, then, one by one, when I click on them, they change without me doing anything - like if some sort of preset was being applied, to every photo, one by one -
    I don't want this. I want my photos to be as RAW as possible when I import them and I don't want anything to change. I like what I see in camera and Lightroom changes this after import - how do I stop this? I checked in my Preferences under Presets and NOTHING is checked -
    Help...
    Thanks

    This is in the FAQ and is normal behavior. Picture profiles are not actually encoded in the raw image data but written as a metadata tag in the raw file. Lightroom cannot understand these metadata tags as they are Canon proprietary. So Lightroom will show its own default rendering for the raw data. What I would do in your case is to go on one of your images into develop, scroll down to Camera Calibration and select camera neutral (probably the picture style you were applying in camera). Then set this as the default for your camera (hit option and the reset button will change). Newly imported images will now use the camera neutral profile. This is probably close to what you are looking for. It is important to remember that any treatment you select in the camera such as the picture style, black and white, extra saturation, etc. has no effect whatsoever on the raw data. They only get written as metadata tags for canon software and are reflected in the jpeg that is embedded in the raw file. Lightroom takes the raw data (which is basically simply what the sensor actually saw) and apply its own default interpretation.
    You should definitely check out the camera profiles in the calibration section. They tend to give more pleasing color than the "adobe standard" profile that is there by default.
