• CS4 and Raw-small file size

  I have RAW files that are anywhere from 7 to 15 MB.  They are open like 10 x 15 inches.  My JPEGs open in many large sizes of files - inches 50 +.  I downloaded the latest plugin Adobe RAW for CS4.  With the help of a Canon 40 d.  Searched and searched online for an explanation. Thank you

  It depends on how much more you need.

  If it's only a couple of inches, I had pretty decent results go as low as 180 in the resolution.

  You can also try using the Options of workflow at the bottom of the dialog box camera raw to set the dimensions of the larger pixels for your camera raw file.

  

• I have a Nikon D 810 camera and Photoshop CS5.  I downloaded camera 8.8 Raw and DNG converter.  I can't open the raw (.nef) files, and treat them with the DNG Converter. What's not?

  I have a Nikon D 810 camera and Photoshop CS5.  I downloaded camera 8.8 Raw and DNG converter.  I can't open the raw (.nef) files, and treat them with the DNG Converter. What's not?  Thank you!

  As I said earlier, the DNG Converter works ONLY on files, not on files.

  Do not target the individual files.  Target Of THE FOLDER that contains them.

  Make sure that said FILE DO NOT contain any other files , you have already settled before, or your settings will be eliminated when re-converted to DNG.

• RAW to Jpeg file size rule

  I wonder if there is a rule of thumb that can be used to predict the approximate size when exporting a raw file in Lr in a jpeg file.  For example, a raw average 25 MB file converting to about 5 MB jpeg with the export from Lr to 100 quality?  At about 3.5 MB with a quality of 80? …

  I know that can vary in size, but when I export a collection of raw files, and I put the maximum file size for a certain amount, Lr sometimes converts images because I limited the size too small.  I would like to be able to get a handle on some sort of relationship quality/file size before you begin the export process.

  I totally agree with Rob. JPEG file size limitation should not be used unless you absolutely care about the degradation of image quality. I can't imagine what application where it would be acceptable.

  Effectiveness of any given quality setting JPEG compression is generally of the order of 5:1. Using a means of file size limit will be saved images with detail to very high quality setting (i.e. 90-100) and images with the details is saved to many parameters of lower quality (0-50). It's the exact opposite of what you want to do!

  Unless you use a large file size limit size of exported JPEG images will probably visible JPEG artifacts. It's best to determine your threshold of acceptability for the JPEG artifacts (i.e. quality 50-70?) Use this quality setting for your exports without restriction of file size. The 'average file size' resulting will be less than with a larger file size limit.

  Tips to reduce further the size of the exported JPEG images files:

  (1) use conservative sharpening in the modules to develop and export (i.e. not too narrow)

  (2) use the color and Luminance Noise Reduction sufficient settings to reduce visible noise in the image.

  (3) make sure that 'remove the Chromatic Aberration "is checked in the color of the lenses Corrections Panel."

  Following the above suggestions can reduce the size of the JPEG file exported by 50% or more, especially for raw ISO images files high.

• Size of the Raw camera file

  I accidentally noticed that Camera Raw files size has almost doubled between 6.4 and 6.5. Not that I care about a few megs of space lost, but what secrets are hidden here? I don't remember any major new features are added.

  P.S. I was not around for a few good months, then perhaps that I missed something.

  Hi, Dorin, the increase in size is due to data, we had to add internal (for reasons of camera support).

• Export batch, a .dng exports in much larger size than the others?

  Hello!

  I'm on Lightroom, Camera Raw version 5.6, Yosemite 10.10.5 5.6. I just did an export batch of 34 images with a size limit of 200K image file. Images resized to 1500px on the short side, 72 dpi.

  One of the images - ironically, one I had not manipulated at all - threw an error - ' Could not create a JPEG that reached your limit of 200K bytes. " All others - light, dark, who were DNG or images that have been the PSD files, color and b & W - were very good. But this one image wouldn't do it.

  When I turned the file off the power limit, it has exported to ~3.5 MB. 1500 x 2250 JPG.

  The DNG file size is 11.6 MB, which is actually on the lower end of the size of typical file of all the DNG in the group. It has very few keywords.

  This is an uncropped image, but so are the others.

  I even tried to open it in PS and PSD compact version, and then export that. same thing.

  Let me repeat that it is a lot, so the export parameters are the same in all areas. Looks like it is something specific to this image.

  Thoughts?

  I would ignore the file size of JPG photos, this is a totally meaningless number.

  Lightroom offers you correct photos when you export, I've never seen a case where Lightroom gave bad exports.

  Yes, the specific image made a difference, specifically some content image can be compressed more than any other image content. Again, the size of the file is totally meaningless.

• 5 d mark II raw (CR2) file is different from the 5 d CR2 file? Adobe Camera Raw error on mk II No 5 d

  I use the plugin Photoshop Camera Raw (Adobe) to preprocess the colors, and then complete the prepare image in Photoshop.  Never a problem with opening files CR2, usually from my own camera 5 d.  But a customer sent a few files CR2 which opens not (error says this is bad kind of document).  So far no explanation nor patches from users of Photoshop... thought I would ask experts to Canon.  Why file CR2 from the 5 d mk II fail but 5 d CR2 files all open ok?

  Still using Photoshop CS2 and the plugin Camera Raw is 3.7 v.  I really want to continue this workflow (works for me), prefer not to experiment with dpp or other opportunities.  Not ready to move yet to Photoshop CS6.

  No, CR2 (and all files camera RAW manufacturer) are modified somewhat for pretty much every version of the camera.  Similarly, manufacturers of software like adobe are always updated their software for the new models.  Your version of Adobe Camera Raw is extremely old, so that it can not read the 5 d 2 files.  And Adobe limited backward compatibility, so I don't know if you can load a sufficiently recent version to recognize the 5 d 2 files.  If you can't, then you're only choice would be to use the Adobe DNG Converter, convert batch files to DNG, the 5 d 2 then read those.

• View. PEF (Pentax RAW format) files on Surface RT is very slow

  Hello
  View. PEF (Pentax RAW format) files on Surface RT is very slow. It takes about 10-15 seconds to open a file (with the Photos (Metro UI) application files Explorer). It's all simply amazing. I don't really understand why it is so long.
  I don't think that the reason of this problem come from my SD card (SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-1, 95 MB/s) or my USB cable.
  I tried to change the mode (MSC, PTP) USB on my DSLR (Pentax K-5), but the same problem.
  Is there a solution?
  THX.

  Hello

  If the question is limited to PEF File Format, then you may have to check the size of the images as. PEF files are image format of high resolution that may take more time to load compared to other image formats.

• STOP the iMac conversion of RAW video files to import

  I use iMac OS X Version El Capitan 10:11:6 and working in Lightroom CC.  I shoot video Time lapse on NIKON D500, in RAW and when I connect the camera to my iMac to import video files, the video file convert .mov files and that's it.  I want to change using Lightroom and LRTimelapse 4 Pro, and I need the file raw like blow, NOT a conversion. I can't understand how to solve this problem.  I think I should be able to disable the automatic import on my iMac, and then load the files video raw directly in LRTimelapse.  However, I can't have a way to disable the automatic import on my iMac.  Can anyone enlighten me here?  I'm going around in circles and it becomes very frustrating! Thank you!

  In fact, I had pretty good stuff in Aperture priority, emphasizing locked. I knew something, but not enough! Day was simple and turned out great. I tried to capture the Sunrise with a subject well lit at the forefront. Nothing is more difficult! I thought I'd try editing to fix. When I said automatically, I just wanted to say that I used the easiest way to create, (there is no Auto Mode on the D500), I was referring to using the time parameter. In any case, I feel educated now, so I can't wait to try it!

  I use LRTimelapse, and basically, you have two choices here:

  • The Time Lapse movie for your D500 parameter will create an all over time in camera. It is the best way to create a period of time, especially if the camera is good to smooth out changes in exposure. But if you use this option, there is very little Lightroom can do, and nothing LRTimelapse can do to change this time, because the film is already over.
  • Setting the interval for your D500 can save raw images full size, instead of compressed video images. You can load those in LRTimelapse for editing and management in Lightroom. LRTimelapse is a great software, and it allows you to apply the full power of changes at the level of the Lightroom raw to a sequence of time. This works best if you are already experienced with Lightroom processing raw and library functions. If you use this method, I strongly encourage you to read the tutorials on the LRTimelapse site because the steps must be followed closely. If you do this, you can be rewarded with some smooth, spectacular results and much more flexibility than if you did it all behind closed doors. (For example, the ability to add the reduction of noise of Lightroom and local adjustments, or pan a 2K or 4K of cultures throughout the entire framework believed). I am an experienced user of Lightroom and it still took me a while to learn the ins and outs of LRTimelapse, but if you need power and options LRTimelapse is well worth learning.

  If you are just getting started with the time, the best thing to do is to use the setting of film time in camera for awhile. See how you like it and make a list of things you wish you can change. Then start practice with the interval of definition, loading of raw in Lightroom and LRTimelapse images and make changes to your sequence before generating the final film. Just be aware that generate the previews of LRTimelapse and the final movie can take a lot of power, disk space and processing time.

• File size never changes from original file.

  Sony A72 images all show 24meg size of the file after the import.  When I edit and convert to tiff or jpg, they show again 24 meg file size.  Now the new file uncompressed raw of Sony also shows 24 megs, but in reality is about 49 megs.

  It's 24 million pixels, not megabytes!

• New to Lightroom, import of raw CR2 files problem.

  I am new to Lightroom and can't import my raw CR2 photo files. In the section "import", I select my SD card that contains the raw image files. All the map .jpeg files appear as thumbnails, but the CR2 files show "extract not available for this file. I select one of the thumbnails CR2 anyway, select a folder on my external hard drive and click on "import". A window pops up that says: "this file is not recognized by the format of raw support in Lightroom." I use Lightroom 4.4 and works with a Windows Vista operating system (on a laptop old, junky). My camera is a Canon 70 d and am shooting in RAW + JPEG. I also downloaded the Adobe software. DNG Converter 6.3 to try to convert the files before importing them into Lightroom and it is also not recognizing and import my CR2 files. Don't know what to do at this point. Any suggestions?

  I would recommend download DNG Converter 8.2 which is compatible with Vista.

  The latest version 8.6 requires W7 and W8

• Why the JPG file size decreases when Lightroom writes meta data?

  Lightroom uses the files sidecar XMP for meta data history for RAW files. When writing the metadata (e.g. tags) to JPG files, they are written directly in the header of the file. This should leave the image information in the file intact. However, the file size decreases (about 0.02 MB) when Lightroom writes metadata for the original JPG file. As far as I could see, the image information remain unchanged and no other information in the header is deleated, but why decreases the size of the file then (I expect to increase slightly or stay the same)? I work with RAW files for most but sometimes I just versions of the files to work with JPG and I don't want to lose any information.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Kind regards
