Lightroom :: 5.3 Image Sizing In Export Not Working As Expected
Jan 15, 2014
When I export an image and specify the maximum dimensions in the Image Sizing section, Lightroom only honors the maximum width or height if both original dimensions are below the requested setting.
For example, I have an image with original dimensions of 2592x1936.
If I export using 1935x1935 in the Image Sizing section with option "Width & Height" or "Dimension", I get an exported file with dimensions 1935x1445. The "width" is properly constrained to the maximum value I've entered.
However, if I export using 1937x1937, the resulting exported file has dimensions 2592x1936--the original size of the image.I've tried the same with an original image of 1936x2592 and get similar results.
I have a set of Categories with Collections published at Smugmug. I am trying to map each Category and Collection in Smugmug to a similar Published Smart Collection in Revel using the rules so that when I add a photo into one of my collections in Smugmug it will populate to similar Revel Smart Collection.
In Smugmug I have a category "Portfolio" with a collection "Dogs". There are 75 photos in this collection.
I create a Revel Publish service for a library "Portfolio".
Now I go to the left sidebar and for this Revel service, I create a new Published Smart Collection. I title it "Dogs". I set the rule to Publish Collection starts with Dogs. The result is over 400 photos selected.
What appears to happen is that any Published Collection with the word Dogs in it is being used, even though the name of the published collection is for example "Our Dogs" or "Example Dogs".
I seem to have problems sizing an image and exporting. Before, I always cropped and rotated my photos in PS, but as I more and more use LR, I am finding problems.
When I export, I set my sizes W5400 x H3600 for horizontal and LR4 exports at various sizes, cutting short one size. For example I have just gone through a video and checked the correct boxes and still its fails to provide an image exactly at the sizes I want. My latest exports are horizontal 5400x3594 and a vertical 3597x5400...
If I set it at 3600 x 5400 and vice cersa, those parameters are what I set and what I want, no compromise.....is this a LR fault or am I missing something?
When exporting a raw file to tif I set the output sizing to megapixel. When I did it to 58 megapixel at 300dpi it gave me a 165mb file size To get a 58mb file I had to go back and forth to find the setting should be 20 megapixels.
Exporting images in LR 5.3 with resize setting of "short edge" does not re-size the image at all when the option for "do not enlarge" is checked. Instead it simply exports the full sized image. This happens even if you are trying to downsize an image (in my case from a 24MP image to one that is 800px wide), in other words you are not enlarging the photos so the option for "do not enlarge" should not apply.
Other sizing options like "long edge" appear to work as expected.Have tried restarting LR but no effect. Have tried changing export setting and then changing back to "short edge", again no effect.
Image Sizing Dimensions produces wrong image sizes upon export for certain images.
Example, I have export set up for iPad resolution, 2048x1536px at 264ppi. If I now export an 3264x4928px image it should be resized to 1356x2048px. What I get is 1356x2047 instead, one pixel too short on the long side. This doesn't happen for all images source resolutions and ratios though. I haven't figured out the pattern yet.
I've been using the offset filter for years to create seamless patterns with predictable results - I choose "Wrap around" and when I enter the distance the parts of the image that go off one side show up on the opposite side.Now, with CS6, sometimes it works as expected and sometimes parts of the image go missing when (if) it shows up on the other side. I've discovered that when this happens if I go to Image - reveal all that often times those lost pixels are outside of the viewable canvas. However, sometimes reveal all doesn't show anything new and the pixels have just been lost.I know there are not extra pixels outside the canvas are before I run the filter so I don't understand how this is happening.
I have found is to select all and crop the image between every offset. Sometimes I'm offsetting 20-30 layers in a row (because you can't apply a filter to multiple layers at once, so annoying). Otherwise, if I'm not careful after I've offset everything I go to check the pattern and realize i lost parts of my image.
I've kinda ignored the clone tool as I thought it was useless. Now I find out that it isn't working as expected on my system. I'd be happy with any pointers as to how to refresh clones.
For example, if I change anything about a clone of artistic text, then ANY link to editing the text is gone.
I was working on photoshop CS3 with multiple layers and suddenly something weird happened.. Whenever I try to hide just one layer (by checking the checkbox infront of a layer in layer palette), photoshop hides everything in workarea... although in layerp palette only one layer is selected for hide.
I need precise image sizing for matting and framing.
If I chose a width of 11.5 in Cell Size, why are my prints larger than that? Margins are 0 (which shouldn't matter anyway on 13" paper). I need .75" on each side.
My image is cropped to 2:3 ratio, same as my camera. What am I missing?
I am working on a project where I am attempting to design a pendant. I wanted to do this in solidworks but I am not as experience with that and I'm having issues, so I went to what I know, AutoCAD. Unfortunately I am still having problems and I think it has to do with the import file from Adobe illustrator.
What I have is a circle with different parts and block text that I would like to cut out. I saved the illustrator file to a dwg file and it imported with a hatch over all the solid areas. I deleted that to get the respective outlines, and extruded. Most loops extruded but some failed to do so for some reason. But I have an option to convert to a pline, but then I get a specify precision dialog which adds a bunch of points along what seems to be a straight line.
Anyway, when I do manage to get things extruded, and go to perform the subtract command (or intersect which would be faster) I click the main shape, and then click the items I would like to remove, but it doesnt do anything.
I did get one whole to subtract, but I really dont know the difference between that and the others that made it work.
No matter which options I choose, all of my exports into PNG and JPG formats (in Photo & Graphic Designer 7) come out small - about 1/4 the size of what I think they should be. What do I need to do to export them at their original size?
I've been using Lightroom 4 since just a few weeks after it came out and been happy with it. My Canon T3i was new to Raw, but I haven't had any issues importing and images looked as I expected the output to be before editing. I have a preset of my standard settings that I apply during import.
I upgraded to 4.2 this week and I took some light painting shots and when I imported 40+ RAW images, I watched one that I really liked in the preview change from what I expected, to a much darker and overly blue image. I thought at first this was due to my preset so I zereoed out the image but it still didn't look the same as the RAW outside of Lightroom. I deleted the picture from the library and added it again and saw before importing it was lighter and had the colors I expected and after importing it changed to overly blue with really bright spots in it.
I uploaded the RAW converted to JPG using Windows Live Gallery, which shows it as the camera preview showed it, and again after letting lightroom export to a JPG with no image adjustements that I know of URL....
Other pictures from this same shoot but of a green light look as I expect.I do have a Spyder 3 for monitor calibration in case there might be a profile issue.I imported the JPG I created outside of Lightroom and it looks better. If I drag the Black slider to -100 I get a similar look to what Lightroom did when I imported the RAW, although the slider then it positioned at 0.
I am having trouble with the image sizing feature of Lightroom 4.3. In working with a batch of RAW files that I am exporting as JPEGS, I want to resize some down to a smaller size yet I do not want to make the images that are already smaller than my target dimension larger, I find that Lightroom resizes everything to the dimensions I have specified. This happens even when I check the “Do Not Enlarge” box. For example, if I am exporting 100 images in a photo set of which 90 images are 5555 pixels on the long end and 10 images are 3333 pixels on the long end and I specify that I want to resize to a dimension of 4444 px, Lightroom will resize all 100 images to 4444 px, even when I have checked the “Do Not Enlarge box”. What I want Lightroom to do is resize the 5555 px images to 4444 px, but export the smaller images in their original 3333 pixel size. I thought by checking “Do Not Enlarge” the files smaller than my resize dimension, would remain smaller. However, I have recently noticed that all the images are being resized, even the smaller ones despite me checking “Do Not Enlarge”.
I was editing phots when I suddenly realized that sharpening tool, neither the adjustment brush for sharpening or ordinary sharpening, would be shown in Library mode or when photos were exported. When I see the picture in Develop mode, they seem fine and I can adjust the sharpness as usual. So something goes wrong between Develop and Library mode.
I have Lightroom 4.4. The ISO level in the pictures are not high at all, so that is not the problem, as I have read some explanaitions of. When I see the picture in 1:1 in both modes, they look the same after sharpening. But if I zoom more, I can definately see big differences.
Why can't I fix the size of my image in Photoshop? I try to make it, for example, 3.5" x 2.5", and have tried both the image size AND canvas size options. When I go and check the image size, it is 3.52" x 2.51", for instance. I've never encountered this before (using Photoshop 12 years now), and don't know how to fix this.
here's this picture. I need it to print at a 4x6. When I upload to order it with my lab online the cropping for the 4x6 crops out fingers etc. I've resized image tried several things.
How can I make this without losing my border, etc.?
Why is the default size of the print so large? Should I change it to just print 4x6's or leave it? Why does Save As change the size of the file and can this be changed? My photofinisher uses a Fuji Frontier printer. I am ordering PS Elements 2.0 for Dummies of which I clearly am right now!!
CS4 Is not allowing me to size the images as I would like.
I have PSD files that I need to size at- in this instance- to 11" Wide X 8.5" tall. CS4 will not let me do this.
When I try to size the image to fit the size I need one dimension gets thrown off. As I do not want to distort the image, I try to crop. (Cutting part of the image that has to be sacrifised to fit the size needed.) That will not work either. CS4 will not allow that change.
Once again what should be a simple task has become a miserable CS4 experience. Hours of reading instructions and watching videos is of no help.
Sizing an image to a given set of measurments should not be so difficult (and so far impossible).
I need to make some new images for a jcarousel we've just coded into one of our sites. I have a number of existing images and logos that I need to drop into a 150 x 94 px size - I have a lot of these to convert.
What is the best (easiest) way to do this - they are all different sizes and formats. We'd like to end up with either gifs or pngs - if we make sprites we would need to keep the canvas size the same but knock the image size down to 150 x 47.
is possible to use percentages? i have disabled "constrain proportions". i fill in W & H. photoshop automatically rounds up. my web designer has my thumbnails on my site (photography site) sized at W41.6 and H98.8.
Is there a way of scaling the "outline" when scaling the image... automatically? It seem that this has to be checked in the "Outline Pen" dialogue box every time you add an "outline" to an image.......and it starts to become a tedious task if you forget to do that to an entire project.
That just happened to me with 30 different images. I had to go back and "check" the box to every single outline.
When you size the outline of an object on your properties bar to say "4.0pt.". And check "size with image" in "Object properties" docker
And when you either expand or contract your image...shouldn't your "Object Properties" docker show the size of the outline relative to the size of the outline when you expand or contract your image.
Example: outline is 4.0pt. on object........when expanded to a size bigger the outline is let's say 8.234pt. In the "object Properties" docker the outline says 4.0pt. Shouldn't it show "8.234pt. as well?
I'm working for a client watermark his images. He has designed a watermark in PS CS6 that extends across the bottom of the image, the full width of the image. Like this:
Obviously, the images to be watermarked are all different widths and the watermark gets scaled up or down accordingly which is not the desired effect. On tall/thin images, the watermark is barely visible. Vice versa on wide or square images. I have tried many different widths of the watermark based on the widest and thinnest images. It works, but still not the desired effect for my client.
I've installed the Adobe Watermark Panel, but it seems that it wants to resize images with a width/height box on the right of the image quality and ppi boxes. (I might be reading that wrong though)
I've also tried several freeware programs. All work fine, but my client doesn't seem to think so.
So the question is, can I apply a watermark that doesn't get scaled? I know image height is a factor. I could write my own application to do it, but this seems like a re-inventing the wheel issue. I think the watermark should be scaled in height to a percentage of the image being watermarked and any excess width should be cut or truncated.
I have collected 30000 photos from a WebCam and I would like to make a time lapse. Pictures are taken every 15 Minutes and they are in sequence order (00001...00002...etc). I actually dont need them all for the time lapse and would like to export only lets say every third or every fourth picture. How can I do this with Lightroom?
Lightroom 4.1 will not export a deleloped image. I have the metadata to new file set to automatic and I get no error mesage. All my new exported files are the same as the original. I need a detailed discription of what boxes need to be checked or unchecked and where to find them. Something as simple as saving changes so that I might use them in another app should not be so difficult- version 2.7 worked fine so what's up with 4.1?
