Why are my prints shrinking when exporting files from NEF to Tiff despite not ticking the re-size box!

When I export/convert my Nikon D7000 based raw files to Tiff files using Lightroom, in preparation for printing, the document size shrinks but the file size increases(see top image below)! This is despite not ticking the 'Resize to Fit' box on the export pop up.I know the file size will increase going from a raw to a Tiff file but I don't understand why this happens when the print size shrinks. This is even more puzzling if I export the same file as a raw file (+its related .xmp file) to another folder then save the file in Elements 9 as a Tiff folder since the size stays as it shoiuld be (see middle image below) I think it must be something to do with the way I am exporting directly to a Tiff format as if I export it as a .dng it still retains its size (see bottom image)
Tiff image exported from Lightroom as a Tiff file then just viewed in Elements 9
Raw file exported from Lightroom as a NEF raw file (with XMP) file then just saved as a Tiff in Elements 9
NEF raw image converted to .dng file  through Lightroom & viewed in CS2

Sorry, I think I've obviously confused the issue by not comparing like with like so here are two versions of the exactly the same image, one a Tiff and one a dng. Both images are 6016 x 4016 pixels, 300 pixels per cm and were simply exported from Lightroom. If I were to simply print them without resizing, one image would be significantly larger than the other. Why does this happen is what I really want to know? If I was to resize the smaller version of the image to be the same size as the larger one, would there be any loss of detail in the print? I would expect there to be as CS2 would create data to fill in the gaps resulting in a file that was 859.2M in size.

  • Audio problems when exporting files from Premiere Pro CS5

    I try to post in English.
    I have audio problems in Premiere Pro CS5 when exporting a film.
    I cut an interview. The sound seems not to be synchronized when exporting a file. It doesn´t matter what file format I export. On cutting points the sound is different to the sound I hear in premiere. In premiere the audio sounds very good but in exported file I hear cracks on cutting points.
    When I reimport the audio file an put it in the timeline the synch point is correct but the interview differs about 2 frames to the original audio in premiere.
    The material was filmed on Sony ex3. The files are XDCam HD. I have updated the production suite.
    Thanks for answers

    Also, make sure that you check the box marked "Export Audio" if you want a MP4 extension.

  • Error when exporting file from LR5.2 - file created

    After updating to LR5.2, I receive an error when exporting files to another disk drive.  a file is created, but a warning appears "Unable to Export:  "An internal error has occurred: Win32 API error 2 ("The system cannot find the file specified.") when calling ShellExecuteExW from AgWorkspace.shellExecute".  I also have CC iunstalled for other applications, but originally installed LR5 as a standalone Adobe application.  I tried removing the program and reinstalling through CC, with no change in this behavior.

  • When exporting an album to Snapfish or Facebook, not all the pictures will transfer.  The same photos are missing in each export.  Help.

    I have version 10.7.1 with 4 GB's.  All software is updated.  Not all the jpegs will transfer to a web site.  And it's the same pix not exporting, not a random selection each time.  All have a rating of "not rated or better".

    Are the images inside stacks?  Only the Stack Pick goes over.

  • When exporting images from iPhoto library to Aperture 3 library the highlights go red and the shadow area goes blue.  This happen to all images in the Aperture 3 library, why?

    For some reason all the images in Aperture 3 library have had their highlights go red and the shadow area goes blue.  I can correct them one at a time with contrast control.  This just happen on its on after I uploaded MOuntain Lion.  Now when I go to transfer images from iPhoto this happens.  The images are all right in iPhoto but this is not the case with Apeerture.  I have 15,000 images in Aperture 3 and I can't afford the time to correct them one at a time.  What is it that I did to cause this problem?

    You have "Highlight Hot and Cold Areas" turned on.
    Toggle this on/off from the View menu.
    Thresholds are set at "Aperture➞Preferences➞Advanced".  (I have mine set to 100% ~ it's not clear what the scale is.)

  • Why does Illustrator CC crash when opening files from Windows 7 64x file manager?

    This does not happen with any of my ogher CC applications; and the files open just fine when opening from directly within Illustrator. It doesn't matter if it is an AI, EPS, or PDF file. The program just crashes. What I thought was a glitch a few months ago, seems to keep happening, and despite at least one (1) update, it still isn't fixed.
    Am I the only one having this problem? Thankfully, Illustrator is about the least used of my programs so I'm not ready to pull out my hair just yet.

    UPDATE:
    I have since updated all of my CC applications to 2014, and this issue has ceased. I am marking this issue as answered, but it is not truly resolved.

  • Lightroom 4 - Slowdown when exporting files

    Hi.
    I'v been experiencing some slowdown on my PC when exporting files from LR4. No matter the size, or if it's .jpg or .TIFF... it always gives me some frezzes (mouse etc)
    I have a high end machine, and i don't think that's the problem....
    Does anyone have a similar problem or a solution?
    CPU
    Motherboard
    Graphics
    RAM
    Phenom II X6 1055T @4.0ghz
    ASUS Crosshair FORMULA IV
    CrossFire ATI RADEON 6850 940/1150
    8GB DDR3 CORSAIR VENGANCE @1525mhz
    Hard Drive
    OS
    Monitor
    Samsung 500GB / Seagate 500GB / Seagate 1TB
    Windows 7 ULTIMATE x64
    Dell U2410 IPS
    Lastest ATI driver...

    None either... CPU always at 0% before exporting.
    But i think i found the problem, it's related to my HDD. I was reading some articles, and decided to use my HDD as AHCI instead of IDE.
    I had to modify some regs to install the drivers, but after that the slowdown where almost inexistent...
    Now i need to know where the problem is, if it's with HDD or motherboard..
    Thanks.

  • Do I need LR 5 in order to convert my Nikon D750 files from NEF to DNG files?

    I currently have LR 4 and the new Nikon D750. I was using the Nikon View to convert my files from NEF to TIFF and get some editing done for clients previews. I know the Camera Raw 8.7 just came out on October 2nd and I am trying to download it but it will not install on my computer as I cannot find the short cut or the installed application when I go to all my applications on my computer. I open LR 4 and cannot see it in there either. What am I doing wrong? Do I need LR 5 in order to use the new Camera Raw 8.7? I have Windows 8 so it is not an unsupported computer version as was stated on your site where you can click the download for the Camera Raw 8.7.

    Camera RAW is a Plugin that is used by PS CS, PS CC and PS Elements you cannot install it in Lightroom.
    Each Lightroom update has an equivalent of Camera Raw built into the application, it does not use the Camera Raw Plugin.
    LR 4 has the equivalent of Camera Raw version 7. e.g the latest version of LR 4.4.1 has the equivalent of Camera Raw 7.4.1.
    The present LR 5.6 has the equivalent of Camera Raw 8.6 so when a new update for LR is released version 5.7 it will have the equivalent of Camera Raw 5.7. 
    However you can download the Adobe DNG Converter 8.7 RC and it can be used to convert your D750 files to DNG and import them into LR 4.
    The converter is available at Adobe Labs.

  • Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

    Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?  Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet.  But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

    I have no idea why you would want to do anything
    Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
    It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option

  • When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

    when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

    Hi John
    I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.

  • Why are HP printer cartridges country specific? Is there any way around this?

    I have just moved from the UK to Newfoundland, Canada and I have brought my HP PSC 1610 printer with me.  I was advised not to bring any cartridges with me because they would explode during the flight so I had to buy new cartridges upon arrival.
    I noticed that the cartridge numbers recommended for my printer were similar but not exactly the same but the (HP, etc.) websites I looked at did not mention that HP printer cartridges country specific.
    In the UK black cartridge is an HP338 (C8765EE).
    In Canada the websites told me that the black cartridge is a 94 (C8765WC).
    I ordered a 94 cartridge (which took an indordinate amount of time to be delivered) and when I installed it my printer would not accept it ("not intended for use in this printer" error message) even though it fit perfectly.  I looked at the packaging in greater detail and noticed that I had been sent a 94 (C8765WL) and I also noticed (in a very small font size) "for sale only in Latin America".
    My questions are therefore:
    1) Why are HP printer cartridges country specific?
    2) Is there any way around this?  Eg is there anything I can do to my printer/ laptop to tell it to accept this cartridge?
    3) Are 94/ C8765WL cartidges compatible with 94/ C8765WC cartirdges?  Ie did the supplier sell me something that couldn't be used even if I had a Canadian HP PSC 1610 printer?
    4) Can I return the cartridges to the supplier given that it is based in Canada, they delivered it to me in Canada and yet they sold me a product that says "for sale only in Latin America"?
    Thanks

    You will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work.  HP's web page on the subject is here.

  • Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

    No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
    I choose Export>Versions
    choose
    Subfolder Format: Project Name
    no custom subfolder
    Name Format: Current Version Name.
    Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
    To be sure, I have no project named Projects
    x
    This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
    If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
    I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

  • Printing or exporting  files from remote system running SAP

    Hi to everyone,
    I am trying to print or save exported data from SAP (in Excel)to a remote system where I am working. SAP is running in a remote server to which I am connected. So far I have only been able to print and save in the remote system (where SAP is running ), but can't do it to my printer/PC. It is probably a simple problem but I can't see an answer.
    Thank very much to anyone who can give me a clue.
    Antonio

    check if printer LP02 or similar is defined on your SAP system. It prints via SAPLPD to your local printer.
    To save anything to your local PC - you can use "save to local file" from the report, or WS_DOWNLOAD FM from ABAP.

  • Why are my notifications silent when I use my 4s on Toyota Fortuner bluetooth system, Why are my notifications silent when I use my 4s on Toyota Fortuner bluetooth system

    Why are my notifications silent when I connect my 4s to my Toyota Fortuner Bluetooth system ?

    Hi,
    The 'features' you refer to are not anything that a customer should really care about, so why don't you just turn them off.
    Do you really care about "Location-based iAds" - I've hardly ever even seen iAds!
    Do you really care about the time-zone updating based upon your international location - unless you are a very frequent traveller, this 'feature' is pretty useless and can be turned off without losing functionality that matters.
    The specific features to turn off are indicated in my post above - they are all in one place, they can all be turned off in about 20 seconds, and your problem will go away, and you will not lose any important functionality.
    Obviously I would agree with your point if you had to refrain from using the phone or making text messages, or playing games, or taking photos... all of which are genuinely useful features of a phone.
    But I disagree with you that you should deny yourself reasonable battery life on the basis that you need the specific features that made you buy this "Apple product and not an Android one" when these features are in fact not first-line, or even-second line features... they are just 'things' that make very little difference to how a person would use their iPhone at all.
    Anyway, that's my thoughts on it. Yes of course it would be great if Apple could fix the bug but as it isn't showstopping, I find it hard to get worked up about it
