Size of exported JPEG files

A number of my exported to JPEG images have a file larger than the original RAW file. My export is pretty basic, quality 100, color space sRGB, no resizing, no watermark. Someone at - it an idea why? I thought JPEG were supposed to be compressed.

Maybe because you do not set an output resolution if light room is a better interpolation.

Try to define the dimensions you want or the size of the long edge and use a resolution of 300ppi for printing or 72 for download on the web.

    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.

  • File will not synchronize exported JPEG files

    I have a folder in LR4 with all my RAW files.  I then exported some JPEG to be placed in the same folder as the original.  When they export, they do not appear in my LR4 file, but they are in the folder when I look in a window of the Mac Finder.  So I try and sync the folder to put up-to-date of changes, but no still not working. I know there are JPEG files in there, but LR4 is not grateful.  I also tried to erase the folder in the folder LR4 and reloading, JPEGs always do not appear.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Anyway around this?

    Make sure that the JPEG files are processed separately. Lightroom preferences-> general tab-> the section Import Options.

    Unfortunately, this option is not "reach back", which means, you may need to remove the raw of the catalog photos and re - import so that JPEG files be considered separately, thus losing edit history... (Or use SQL statements on the catalogue)

  • Include the file name on the exported JPEG files

    Is possible to overlay a file name on an export jpeg?

    I create JPEG files for my site and wish I could auomaticaly overlay on the image, the file name. This will allow viewers to the site identify the image. I managed to overlay a watermark, but not the name of the file.

    I would like the image to look as it would in the slideshow module. Which allows a file name to be superimposed on the image.

    I use Lightroom 3 with Windows 7 64 bit.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Rob,

    It has no function in LR to add overlays of text on the exported images. You can take a look at LR/Mogrify for this ability. I've not used myself, but know about its capabilities.

  • How can I maintain the original size of the JPEG file when you import into Photoss?

    I noticed that when I use pictures to import images from the SD card in the camera, the images are substantially smaller than when I drag the same image directly from the SD card on the desktop. In general, a 3.6 Mb picture somehow diminishes to about 2.6 MB. I'm wrong and get frustrated to this drop in image quality!

    Any help / advice will be highly appreciated. Thank you

    In what circumstances you see this small size?

    Photos did a bit of copy bit when importing images in its library.  If you drag the thumbnail of an image on the desktop you bet that the preview version, which will have a small file size.

    Export the image on the desktop via the file export Export X Unmodified Originals ➙ ➙ menu option will give you the full size file that was imported into the library.

    Drag the thumbnail on the desktop will get you the original file.

  • Reduction in the size of exported mpeg4 file

    Hello world

    I have a second 15 sequence that I exported to H.264 format and then chose "Match Source - Bitrate environment" under preset. Then I reduced the width to 518 pixels. When I exported however, the mpeg4 will eventually be 5.4 MB.

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do to further reduce the size of file?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Exporting JPEG files: artifacts of the image will not disappear

    This seems to be a problem with InDesign in general. For reasons that I will not enter, it is an asset of the image that is printed to 700dpi. When I export a JPEG from InDesign, I get the really strange image artifacts that won't disappear soon whatever I do.

    Detail of the normal JPEG image at 72 dpi:

    Export InDesign JPEG at 72 dpi:

    Screen Shot 2015-05-05 at 10.33.21 AM.jpg

    Any ideas? When I export to higher than 72 dpi, I always get these bands, they are just spaced farther because of the higher resolution. But they are still there.

    Can't do.

    But here's the thing... maybe he can. Experienced professionals who need quality JPEG output simply don't pursue through the export of InDesign, and so perhaps the process has not been explored and optimized by anyone who is interested and competent enough to nail down.

    Little you won't context:

    For the regulars of the forum, sometimes it feels like there is a parade without end of relatively inexperienced users, who expect an application to do everything, or they come here to share their dismay over the fact that "even Microsoft Word has this unit or this automatic function... I would have never expected a plant like InDesign to be so far behind... "There is no shortage of bizarre and convoluted workflows based on 'it allows me to do that, which means I should...". "Troublesome JPEG export InDesign and workflow built around it are common themes in the recurring nightmare.

    So please forgive us for expected is not to that:

    I have a workflow that uses applescript droplets to export a JPG of each print file reference to be included in the packages sent to print...

    This is yet another example of erroneous workflow (automated yet), I think that you would have received more sympathetic responses if we had known, even if the result was no different.

  • How to keep metadata on the exported JPEG files?

    I be image editing in Lightroom for a while, but I don't have to pay attention to the issue of metadata so far. I need the metadata for geotagging my photos, but the problem I encounter is that after I have change in Lightroom and export to JPEG gets none of the info that comes in the RAW files exported with them (as the date and time of photos were taken, the settings of camera and lenses, etc.).

    These are the settings of the catalog that I use:

    Catalog settings.jpg

    When I try to synchronize my JPEG photos with all GPS-files they only detect the time and date the pictures where edited or updated the and not the date and real time photos were taken.

    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Make sure that "Minimize embedded metadata" is disabled in the export dialog.

  • 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.

  • I've updated my LightRoom to 5.7 and now my exported JPEGs (recorded with 100% quality) look blurry!

    It was perfect with the previous version, but now my blurry pictures. I used the tool sharpness in LR, but I do not see the effect on the exported JPEG files. My LR is the stand-alone version.
    lr_quality.png
    Any ideas? I use LR for the job.

    Sharpness applied to develop module is only shown correctly at the 1:1 or more and must be applied to the 1:1 or more. I think you want to of course that there is no difference of switching between library and develop at 1:1.

    Your jpg gives to think that you have applied a lot of sharpness, detail, because this will have a similar effect on my photos.

    Im hoping that Lightroom 6 will have the same resizing algorithms in develop module as a library module.

    Yes, you might have to reduce the resolution.  Try checking "Resize to fit" and choose something like 300 x 300.

  • After editing in LR, then export to ch, additional file editing, save a TIFF to JPEG file in Dropbox, thumbnails appear to be correct, but, as soon as I send the in an email, the desaturated become?

    After editing my images in LR, then exporting to ch for further editing, then by saving the TIFF format to JPEG file in Dropbox, images of the thumbnail to look good. However, when I open them in a photo viewer, or email them, they become desaturated. With the help of Windows 10. Anyone know why that would happen? It does not occur when I change a JPEG image. This happens only when I edit a raw in LR, then export to ch and, further editing and change the TIFF to JPEG file type.

    They will have to be registered to the sRGB colourspace, check the setting when you export for email...

    Hi Tanuj.

    I actually understand it. Not the best user friendly system. Where as before (CS5), I just had to go to crop tool and choose the dimensions and the inches now it in the window. Just really complicated for nothing.

    Thanks anyway Tanuj

    LR 5.7 cannot find my files already edited because I accidentally deleted them. I have original and exported raw files edited JPEG images on an external hard drive. How to get back on LR the possibility to repeat already published photos complete with a history of editing? Thank you.

    Thank you Joe Maniac.  I deleted the original linked files on my internal hard drive which were dng files, but had copies of the raw files edited and edited the exported raw files (in JPEG format).  I don't have copies of dng files.  So what I ended up having to do was import the original raw files which then made a DNG copy on my internal hard drive.  The link has not changed, but now the files were back in the original track for missing photo alerts disappeared and I was able to see my change history.  The process has been painful, but without the dng, I had nothing to do a link to more if at least re-import them files has recreated the dng.  I don't know if there was an easier way, but it seemed that the problem did not the link deletion.  I use LR for a few years, but it was a rookie mistake, precipitated by my hard drive being so jammed up I ended up delete what I shouldn't.  I should have just moved the dng and the link to an external hard drive. Thanks again.
