Why No File Size Option?

I'm probably missing something here but why is Lightroom unable to show me the size of my files as every other program, including Bridge, does?

Dorin:
I'd agree that file size is not the most important property of a photo file; however, it is important for this photographer. I'm sure we'd both get a number of arguments over just what is 'thee' most important property!! I'd bet it would vary from one photography to the next and would depend on what one is doing with those files at that moment.
Precisely because it is a 'library', it should have all available properties available for viewing.
It's certainly more important and useful than "megapixels". When comparing the same file with different file sizes, it would be very handy to have it appear in the grid view as one of the view options, rather than having to wonder over to the Metadata panel.

Maximum FILE size option

Hi Experts,
I know the max file size option on the sender file adapter.
If the file size is greateer then the one specified in the sender channel the channel will go in error.
I just want to know that after going in error will it pick other files as well or we need to Start/Stop the channel or something else needs to be done

Hi Sumit,
> I just want to know that after going in error will it pick other files as well or we need to Start/Stop the channel or something else needs to be done
I think you have to remove that file in the Queue, then only it will picks the next file.

In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each cropin

In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each croping? Thx

Select the Crop Tool and check the box [ ] Delete Cropped Pixels and you should see a reduction in file size. With the box unchecked, the data is still maintained in the document, you just can't see it.

I want to reduce pdf size up to 5mb for mailing perpose, anybody have any option to reduce it since I have used optimiser & reduce file size option but its not helpfull.

The optimizer can reduce space, but some things can't get smaller. Text for example. Play with the settings, examine the results of Audit Space Usage.
Or give up. Even 5 MB is too large for a bulk mailing, by far. Instead put it on your web site and mail a link - done!

Why is file size of exported clip so large?

I have a movie clip in MPEG-4 format, 3 minutes in duration, 720x400. I ripped it (using Handbrake) from a DVD I own. Let's call this clip Clip A. I wanted it to be smaller, so I used Quicktime Pro 6.5.2 to export it. Let's call the exported clip Clip AE (E for exported). Clip AE has these properties:
Compression: Sorenson Video 3
Quality: High
Frame rate: 15
Width x Height: 310 x 200
Sound format: QDesign Music 2
Sample rate: 22,050 kHz
Channels: Mono
File Size: 5.5 MB
Great. That's just what I wanted. Now I go to a second movie clip I have in MPEG-4 format. This Clip B is only 90 seconds in duration, 720x400. I export it to Clip BE. Clip BE has these properties:
Compression: Sorenson Video 3
Quality: High
Frame rate: 15
Width x Height: 310 x 200
Sound format: QDesign Music 2
Sample rate: 22,050 kHz
Channels: Mono
FILE SIZE: 25.8 MB
In both exports I set the Key Frame Rate and Data Rate to automatic. So, everything is the same except Clip BE, which is half as long in duration as Clip AE, is 5 times larger in file size.
I'm no expert at using QT Pro, but this result just does not make sense to me. Why is the second exported clip 5 times larger than the first one. I wanted to email both of them to my wife at work as a little surprise, but the second one is way too big for my email account. How can I get the file size of that second clip down to the size of the first one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
iMac G5, iBook (dual USB) G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The second clip probably has more detail or motion than the first.
Open Clip AE and choose "Get Info." Note the data rate of the video.
Now export clip B again, but instead of setting the data rate to automatic, set it to the same number as Clip AE's data rate.
You will lose video quality, but the file should come out smaller.

Add a file size option for TIF export

I would like to have an option to set (uncompressed) file size (or alternatively size in MPix) for a TIF file and have lightroom set the pixel dimensions accordingly. The reason is that many libraries specify a file size requirement. If all your images are cropped the same then working out the dimensions is simple, but if they are all different shapes then it becomes a real pain as you have to work out the dimensions for each one.
Something somewhat similar has been mentioned for jpeg output, to allow you to specify file size and have lightroom adjust quality to achieve the filesize you want (leaving pixel dimensions fixed).
...rob

If by filesize you mean dimensions (e.g. cropped), then that is built into Lr5 - via smart collection, not library filter.
If you mean actual source file size (e.g. in bytes), that requires either:
* John Ellis' AnyFilter, or
* Jeffrey Friedl's Data Explorer.
(if there are others, I don't know about them)
I have plugins for lotsa things, but not everything .
Cheers,
Rob

Why do file sizes change when I use "Process Multiple Images" to add watermarks?

Hi,
I'm using Elements 11. In order to add watermarks to many JPG pics at once, I use the function "Process Multiple Files".
I select a source folder and a destination folder, and adds a three digit serial number to each file. I do NOT tick the checkbox marked "Change picture size". After that I define the watermark I want printed on my pics and hits OK. All the files in the source folder are processed and saved, with a new name in the destination folder. Fair and square.
But. The file size of the new file is heavily reduced, compared to the original. It goes from 10 MB down to 500 KB (in general). Why is that? Is there any way I can prevent it?
Regards,
/Mikael Lindgren

Or you can uncheck the convert files box to save them in their original format, or select one of the lossless formats PSD, BMP, TIF. What is most appropriate depends on what you intend to do with the watermarked versions.
Cheers,
Neale

Why have file sizes in Pages increased since upgrading to latest version?

Hi, I use Pages to compose a monthly newsletter for my yacht club. For that purpose I preferred it to Word because it was so easy to add, resize and position photographs. Before circulating the newsletter to club members, I convert the file to PDF format using the print as PDF option. Last year I was able to put 25 or so photos along with text over 5 pages and finish with a file size of less than 5 MB, which is about as big as I can send without dozens being bounced by members' email filters. Since upgrading my Mac to "Mountain Lion" (and then to "Mavericks") and upgrading Pages, I can't include more than 7 or 8 photos on 2 pages without going over my 5 MB limit. The finished file size seems to be two or three times the combined file sizes of the photos that I include.
Any suggestions for reducing file size? I already use as low a photo resolution as I can.

Peter - thank you so much for this very helpful reply. I had assumed that having "upgraded" I would be condemned to putting up with the Pages 5. I would never have thought of looking in the iWork folder for an older version. Needless to say I can't use Pages 09 to open documents written in pages 5 - but that's no loss. I note that January's newsletter was a hefty 15.5 MB in size, whereas December's, which contains more pages and many more photos was only 2.5 MB.
Thanks again.
Fruhulda - I look forward to reading more of the discussion of the last few months. Being new to the forum it may take me some time to find it.

File Size Options when emailing

My old blackberry used to give you the handy option of reducing the file size of photos when emailing (small, medium and orignal). I can't find this option on the Q10 and its not set out in the user guide. As such, all photos are being emailed at full resolution which is costly from a data perspecitve when off wifi. Has anyone discovered the trick for reducing flie sizes when emailing or do we need to wait for an op systyem update? Cheers.

Hey JDSUK,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
My apologies, when attaching a file in BlackBerry Hub it will send it at it's full size. You can however ZIP a file which will make the file size smaller. Check out this Blog post for more information: http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2013/06/blackberry-10-working-with-zip-files/
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Why do file sizes change between Windows to Mac drive?

I'm moving a large number of files from a 3TB Windows NTFS external drive to a 3TB Mac OS Extended Journaled external drive.
Now, comparing the original file to the copy, I'm finding that the file sizes in the Get-Info window are different on many of the files. (I would say the majority of them.)
Did something go wrong and do I now have corrupted data across thousands of files? Or does a NTFS drive calculate size differently as a Mac-formatted drive, even though the files are identical?

Does it happen on all kind of files, or just txt files?
Usually, it comes from the fact that Unix (from which OS X closely derives) and Windows don't have the same way of "recording" changing lines in txt files: in DOS and Windows, going to the next line, whether manually when typing or because you imported a txt file made by someone else (or another machine) means using a "carriage return" (yeah, I know, sounds old), where Unix uses a "line feed".
A carriage return will first send the carret back to the beginning of the last line you typed in, before switching to the next line so you can resume typing, whereas a line feed will jump to the next line directly. This leads to some invisible extra characters being typed, and since each digit or key press brings its own byte or octet in the balance, your files might end up being heavier under one platform than they were in another.
The Notepad application in Windows is known for its poor text wrapping (which it makes up for by being a good tool for coding, for the same reason), with the user/writer needing to feed its own carriage returns in the text, when Wordpad is more user-friendly, with better text wrapping, but doesn't show the same flexibility that Notepad has.
The same principle applies to all txt-based files, hence to .log files too. And log files tend to be created by applications for this purpose or that, without you knowing it.

Why is file size increasing while copiying contents of the file.

Hi,
Iam copying the contents of a file to another file using streams.But while doing this the size of the destination file is greater than the source file.For example, if iam copying the contents of file A whose size is 78 KB into file B then the size of B is 80 KB. Any body please explain the reason for this.The code i used for copying is given below.
Thanks in advance.
public static boolean copyFile(File srcFile,File destFile){

PS CS6-Why are file sizes so huge?

My psd's are almost double the size as compared to similar files created from CS5. There are no vector objects, no huge amount of layers as compared to my older files and not a lot of visual information. It seems that a text layer consisting of 6 letters is about 3MB. I've turned of Autosave and Background saving in preferences. It doesn't seem to matter.

Maximize PSD and PSB Compatibility >> Never
(from Adobe Help)
Maximize compatibility for PSD and PSB files
If you work with PSD and PSB files in older versions of Photoshop or applications that don’t support layers, you can add a flattened version of the image to the saved file.
Note: If you save an image in an earlier version of Photoshop, features that version doesn’t support are discarded.
Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
From the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility menu, choose any of the following:
Always
Saves a composite (flattened) image along with the layers of your document.
Ask
Asks whether to maximize compatibility when you save.
Never
Saves only a layered image.

How to set option in Scanning for Reduced File Size

I am scanning from a Fujitsu 6230 scanner in Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.4.1. My scanning options are Color, 300DPI,Letter, High Quality, with Optimization options of Custom Settings of JPEG for Color/Grayscale. The scanned files are very large...1852KB per page. After using the Reduce File Size option and selecting Acrobat 8 and later, the file size is reduced to 187K. Is there a way to preset the Acrobat 8 or later setting....rather than having to do the two-step?
Also, if I use Fujitsu's scanning interface I get far higher quality pdf's, with small file sizes, and lower scanning resolution......but without the option to append to a pdf, an option I use frequently. Apparently their program for converting the scanned image to a pdf is more robust than Adobe's. Is there a way to use their image->pdf engine within Acrobat?

Hi Boatseller,
I will put this in simple way.
Can we set properties in biztalk wcf_custom adaptor like
1. <security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport"
2. enableUnsecuredResponse="True"
or
includeTimestamp="false"
3. <textMessageEncoding
messageVersion="Soap11"/>
<httpsTransport/>
I am unable to find these properties in BizTalk wcf_custom adaptor properties. It will be great help if you could guide me in right direction . My problem is to receive response message into orchestration which is not having header. But the response is coming
from web service. I saw that in fiddler.
Also, If there is any steps to make these properties available in machine config, please share
Thanks in advance

Media Encoder CS4 output file size varies--why??

I was batch encoding several files yesterday, and one of the files failed. Adobe Media Encoder provided no details, other than when I hover over the yellow exclamation point error icon, it says: "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." Very insightful.
Today I reprocessed the file same file with the same preset [FLV - Same As Source (Flash 7 and Higher)] and it worked fine. To check for instability on my machine, I actually ran the same job 10 times, and each job succeeded. But the curious thing is, even though I was using the same input file and output preset, I see that the output files vary in size. The output sizes are:
30,739,977 bytes
30,750,834 bytes
30,750,504bytes
30,750,654bytes
30,739,928bytes
30,740,044bytes
30,750,615bytes
30,740,001bytes
30,739,979bytes
30,750,637bytes
Now I understand that this variation is less than 10kB on a 30MB file, so it's prety small. But I am curious as to why the file size would vary in this way.
Any ideas?

I would guess that you are overclocking your cpu and the cooler is not able to make the cpu cool enough and some calculations can go wrong. There are programs that put the cpu in a high load and check if it's running properly as expected. Give them a try.
