saving a raw to JPEG file

When I save a file as a jpeg of high quality raw, I lose a lot of information, and the image becomes much smaller when reopened. How to prevent this?

The actual size of the file in megabytes cannot be a criterion for the quality of the image. JPEG compression works differently on each image according to the content of the image. Some images compress much more than others. When you say that the JPEG is smaller, could you share the actual pixels of the raw and JPEG images dimensions. What do you use to create your JPEGs?

Just another comment. It seems to me that it would be extremely difficult to create a 50 MB JPEG image. It would be absolutely huge in size. I assumed that the site you are using allows loading of formats other than JPEG files if they allow files that large.

  • Cannot display raw or jpeg files taken on a new Nikon D7200

    I have questions not being not able to view my raw or jpeg files using lightroom what photos were taken on my new SLR digital of Nikon D7200.  I also have the Nikon D7000 and D3000 and can see raw and jpeg files without any problem.  I can open the files D7200 Microsoft photo look an software, but not Photoshop and Lightroom.  Don't know how to reinstall the software Nikon D7200 if it would help.

    Nikon said, the problem is with the Software Photoshop and Lightroom, but it's true, why the other cameras files work fine.

    Can you help me?

    You need Lightroom 6.0 or Lightroom CC 2015 at least to open the D7200 raw files. If you are using an older version of Lightroom, you can use the DNG format free version converter 9.0 or newer to create copies DNG that you can use with your old version of Lightroom.

    Another problem with CS5 was the Bridge opens as a process in the background and must be closed in the taskbar > hidden icons before updating.

    Good luck

    In fact, you have had a chance, I'm surprised that the D800 goes back to CS5 and ACR6.7

  • 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.

  • Photos, convert and replacement RAW to JPEG files

    Hello!

    I've been googling and looking for forums of Apple, and I've not found a way to do it again. I'm not sure that it is still possible.

    I have a MacBook pro with a nice little SSD. Take RAW photos is gourmet area, and many of them lying around. Is there a way to replace the RAW with a JPEG photo-generated file to save space?

    I thought to export to JPEG, removing the RAWs and import JPEG files, but then I will lose the album information they contain.

    Is there a way to transform the RAWs in JPEG, then delete the RAWs to save space? Or is it easier to simply delete?

    Any response would be highly appreciated!

    Export and re-import are the only way to replace the originals.

    And it takes if ensure that the original RAW have been deleted from your library and iCloud, before you reimport the JPEGs or Photos will be STINKING RAW format. At least, this happened to me several times.

    You could try to export and import after assigning the name of the album as a keyword. Each album individiually, export

    According to reimport the photos create a form of album pictures of the last Import.You can aalso use the albumname keyword to search for them.

    When all goes well, remove the keyword, you no longer need.

  • How can I transfer a photo library (raw and jpeg files) fram without loss of metadata and keywords?

    How can I transfer my favorite photos library on my MacBook to another library on an external hard drive without losing metadata and keywords?

    If you want to keep the metadata, you must export the images as the current versions, edited. File > export > export... images.  Then you can turn on the indicator "Tile, keys, descriptions words":

    Choose a high quality for JPEG, not to lose quality.  To the RAWs export them under like TIFF picture.

    You can export the RAWs as "file > export > export original unmodified" and keep it RAW, but which will not include the metadata.  And the Photos will allow you to export an XMP file with metadata, but when I tested, it did not apply the metadata when you import the RAW files again. So the best compromise for the RAW format would be to export as TIFF, another lossless format.

  • RAW and JPEG on the disk, only import RAW files?

    I shot some photos this morning, and the camera is set up to generate a RAW and JPEG file (if it's a difference, the camera is a Panasonic Lumix GX1). I copied all the files from the SD card to a folder on an external HARD drive and then tried to import into Lightroom.

    In the import dialog box, the only files he showed me import were the RA2 (Panasonic RAW) files, not JPEG files. My first thought was that he decided my name do not import duplicates - but the file names are the same, but extensions are different and the file sizes are different. Why LR would consider that these are duplicates?

    Any thoughts on how to get my RAW and JPEG imported?

    Hello

    Greetings!

    Yes, there is a setting in the preferences.

    Open Lightroom

    Click on edit-> preferences-> Genaral or Lightroom (Windows)-> preferences-> General (MAC)

    Check the box below and click ok and relaunch lightroom.

    Now import and check.

  • Why Lightroom5's copy of the RAW and Jpeg formats files in the destination folder?

    Hi all Lightroom experts.

    I want to copy the RAW files of my SD dsra on my hard drive Drobo. And every time I did that Lightroom has copied BOTH raw and jpeg files

    How to load Lightroom to copy only the RAW files?

    Just a little disgress, actually the same problem happens in Adobe Bridge despite me by selecting only the RAW files to copy, but it always copied both!

    Any tips?

    Thank you

    You can tell Lightroom to qualify alongside jpg FIRST separate photos, or treat the JPG as a file by following the instructions here:

    Lightroom help | Set import preferences

    If the JPG file is a sidecar, the JPG is always imported but is not displayed in your library module.

    If you don't want to import the jpg files, you will need to select the RAWs, but not the jpgs in the dialog box import; or import them all and then delete the jpgs of Lightroom and your hard drive (easier, but takes a little longer). or don't shoot RAW + JPG

  • RAW to jpeg in photos

    I downloaded my files of raw (NEF) in pictures. I am aware that I can change the files in JPEG format by the following--> export file. However, it stores jpeg files in a folder outside Photos. Is it possible to modify the raw to JPEG files and have them saved in the Photos?

    NO.

    You can export and then import the JPEG format in order to have the two in pictures

  • RAW and JPEG as a thumbnail?

    Hello

    is it possible to display the RAW + JPEG as a thumbnail in Bridge as in Lightroom? I shoot RAW and JPEG and I see the same image 2 times. A BAD Version and a JPEG.

    I want to see the two as a thumbnail. They should be grouped. So, if I erase it the RAW and JPEG version is deleted.

    Help, please!

    Kind regards

    You still don't understand what I mean, and you seem to have no idea what I'm talking about. But it's OK...

    Maybe you should read a little more about LR works before you write things you clearly don't know anything.

    I explain it one last time: I have RAW and JPEG files. I seek only to RAW files when I sort my photos and I don't want to manually delete the JPEG images. So I wanted to bridge pile JPG + RAW together so they both deleted when I delete the image. It is not difficult to understand in fact

    For those who has figured out what my problem was:

    I found a script to LR that does exactly what I was looking for in Bridge :-> RAW + JPG battery

    So my problem is solved and everything works fine

    I'm trying to reduce the file size of a jpeg file, but the dialog box under image > image size reflects a much smaller that the file is. I saved the image after resampling and simplistic image, the pip size reduced to 72 and lowered the low quality only to see the minimum file size reduction. Why the dialog box in photoshop gives me a different file size than my computer and how do I solve this problem? Thank you!

    The Image Size dialog box dialog box shows the uncompressed size.

    Your operating system (Explorer/Finder) shows the size compressed. (size on the disk)

    If you use save for Web, you can see the compressed size, but also an overview.

  • Bridges, in starting to copy files from Adobe Camera RAW to jpeg or tif, error "the file cannot be created" - can all someone please advise? No Tech phone today?

    To all

    In Bridge, in starting to copy files from Adobe Camera RAW to jpeg or tif, error "the file cannot be created" - can all someone please advise? (No phone Tech Saturday?)

    Thanks for the quick responses today from anyone in the community,

    -Mark, Portland Oregon

    Please provide details: you are not trying to change the file type by changing just the extension, are you?  That won't work of course,

    Either you try to run some type of script?

    To change a file type, you have TO open the file in Photoshop and do save as.  That can be automated.

  • RAW files converted to JPEG files on my mac can not be seen by my client who has a PC: WHY?

    I have been using Adobe CS5, more than a year now, but only recently discovered how does Adobe Bridge help with workflow and post-processing. My first time using Bridge, I put all my RAW NEF files in folders, and after their transformation into Photoshop, put all the JPEG files in a separate folder. Before sending these JPEGs to my client, I have lots renamed to ensure that issues of the image files are in consecutive order. My client, who is a PC user, received these images and says that she is unable to view them. Its computer system is not exceeded, and I don't know what is the issue. I wonder if there was a formatting change that happened when I made the batch rename or if the problem is Adobe Bridge altogether? I did this on my Mac Book Pro, which is only one year... What Miss me?

    Every image has its .jpg extension? I think that Windows likes to see the extension, Mac don't care.
