Lightroom :: File Size After Scanning A Slide?
Jan 12, 2013
After scanning a silde as a TIFF, when I import into the Lightroom library the file size is only about 1/6th the size of the file scanned onto my hard drive. A 50MB scan becomes an 8MB LR file. If I take the file into Photoshop it is still 50MB. I tried saving the photoshop file with a different name and then bringing into LR but it still ends up at 8MB. I get the same problem using both VueScan 9.0.90 and Silverfast 8.0 scanning software. How do I keep the original file size?
LR4.3 is up to date
OS-X 10.8.2 is up to date
Pacific Imaging Electronics Powerslide 5000
Imaging software is VueScan 9.0.90 and Silverfast Ai Studio 8

I am using the Nikon Super CoolScan8000 and Vuescan program to scan a slide film. I am scanning at this setting: scan resolution 4000 dpi. I have to make it a certain dimension that someone has been asking me for. They want the image at Width = 60cm (approx. 23 inches) and 300 dpi.
When I scan at 4000 dpi, I'm not sure what size to make the printed width. I have experimented numerous times and I've had no luck with getting exactly what I want. It seems that when I make the width 60 cm (the height adjusts proportionately) and the dpi at 300, the quality is not that great, which it definitely needs to be because it will be printed at a large size.
PS I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and I also have Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.

I am creating colage images in Photoshop CS4. I sometimes use scanned vintage daguerreotypes or other small snapshots. They are often small sized at 3.5" x 4.5" or 4.25" x 5.5". My Epson 835 scanner can scan in at 300, 400, up to 800 dpi. If I intend to print these scans at 8x10, 11x14 or a larger size within the overall collage, should I scan in at the highest dpi allowed by my scanner? Does this make a real difference after 300 in resolution/clarity?
Also, Does Photoshop CS4, in the enlarging process, as I bring the smaller image into my composite and stretch size it up with (T) tool, end up just making "junk pixels" using "Bicubic" or "Bicubic smoother" in the printing from flattened PS file, even tho I scanned in at a high dpi? scan in at best dpi so that the image won't be pixelated, lose resolution as it is used larger inside the final composite collage.

My picture’s original size was 108.2 MB in tiff. After I developed my photo in Lightroom and exported the new image, the file decrease to 50MB in tiff. Why did Lightroom decrease the file size to more than half the original size? Is there a way to increase the exportation file size to that I may develop a large size print?

Lots of previous photo experience, but pretty new to digital, so here's the deal. I have just learned that JPG files are somewhat unstable. Does this mean only when they are manipulated and re-saved, or anytime they are opened/closed?
So I have saved many of my best images in PSD after altering them, but my objective now is to create CD's or folders to use as different slide hows. My first attempt tells me that my laptop (new Dell XPS) doesn't "see" the PSD files, only the JPGs. So, the question ... after manipulating a file in PS, what file format should I save it in that is stable and most universally recognizable to different computers, etc?

I want the Intro screen in a Slideshow to contain some background or introductory text. The Intro screen may be customized by editing the identity plate, but only to provide text on one line - not very useful. The Intro screen consists of the Identity Plate against the background created jointly with the Backdrop controls.
So, I thought this would be easily solved by creating a 'photo' in PS, with the text I require on a transparent background. Then import as another slide. Easy Peasy.
No, not quite, as Saving As... in PS as JPG does not work, TIF offers to save transparency but LR does not honour the promise. I tried GIF, but LR doesn't even 'see' GIFs.
I am sure that Adobe, in the 4.1-th generation of LR, will not have made this impossible....
Platform>> Lightroom 4.1, Photoshop CS5 v12, Windows 7/64 Pro

I have a problem with LR3. After completing a video I go to Export Slide Show to Video. After rendering and encoding, the program stops at the last slide and does nothing. It means that I cannot use LR for videos or time lapse.

I used to use LR 3 & 4 to build my time lapse movies using a slide duration of .1 seconds per, now in LR5 the minimum slide duration is a full second?

I have some old photos that I intend to scan into LR4 using a CanoScan 9000E - I also have the negatives.Is there any advantage to scanning from the negatives v the photos? Does scanning the negs give me more control over any post work I do in LR4

The lightroom slideshow module appears to only allow one picture or one video per screen. I would like to put everything within one folder (usually 4 pictures) on one screen.

I switched to lightroom 5. There is one change from 4, which I like to be undone and maybe there is a way to achive this via some setting. When I am in slide show mode with full screen the next and previous slide cannot be reached any longer by the left and right arrow. This used to be possible and it is very good if one wants to test a slide show without waiting for the next picture for 5 seconds (or whatever the delay is). It is also nice to have a quick possibility to have a look at the previous picture again.
Is there a way to reenable the arrow keys?

I recently scanned several old slides and saved them as dng files. But some of the editing functions don't work on these files - specifically gradient filter, adjustment brush and HSL adjustments. I don't really want to have to save them as jpgs before editing them - that defeats the purpose of having saved them as dngs.

when I scan to my computer it was set to go to my documents, now it goes to Lightroom. When I try to open it in my documents it is a lightroom link and sends me to lightoom. the same thing happens with photos I take and import from my card. they are not a proper jpeg they have a lightroom icon and no matter what I do clicking on the photo takes me to and opens up lightroom.

Image below shows 6 core usage during edit of an image using LR 4.2RC. Image import was running in the background. This only occurs when I use the develop module sliders (it doesn't matter which slider).

Running LR 4. Recently noticed that when importing CR2 files and converting to DNG that the file size almost doubles. "Imbed Original" is NOT selected in the Preferences menu.

I was *so* hoping that we'd finally be able to filter (or create a Smart Collection) based upon file size.
There are many reasons why this would be useful but the thing that trips me up every once in a while is that I'll forget to flatten my layers in Photoshop and the resulting tiff could be over 500 MB! Everyone once in a while I'll manually find the large files, flatten the layers, then re-import them into LR - in the specific case I mentioned the file was reduced to 17MB.

I am running LR3.5 on an iMac. I created a slideshow yesterday that contained 40 images, and exported as a PDF.When I emailed it to three friends and myself, it bounced (too large) from three of the four friends I sent it to.
How do you check the file size of a PDF slideshow? how to share a slideshow without bumping info size limitations?

LR 5 shows them as 16mb files. PS CC shows them as 91mb files. Finder shows one as 95mb and the other as 234mb.
I'm pretty new to LR and have been doing LR editing and then using NIK plugins or Perfect Photo Suite and sometimes PS, always saving them back to LR and printing in LR. Often I wind up with 3 or 4 files. Part of this is because after printing , I export the file to my "printed" folder which allows me to easily find all I feel were good enough to actually print at some later date. I'm sure some of this is that I still am not completely trusting LR because I'm still surprised with things like this from time to time... I'll get there.
But how can I figure out why these file sizes are so disparate?

Very large DNG files from the new X100S camera?
I am importing raw files from the X100S, converting them to DNG files, and they come out at around 55Mbytes per picture. When the quicker startup info and the Raw file is included in the DNG file, the size goes up to around 70Mbytes.
Specific environment: OS X latest version 10.8.4, iMac about 3yrs old.

How would one search and sort by file size? I don't see a way to do that. I'm trying to delete the largest files that have no future in my catalog.

i'm currently using LR 4.0 and found a problem with file export.
I have two tiff files:
Tiff 1: 283MB, full resolution ( 2336 x 3504 )
Tiff 2: 233MB, full resolution ( 2336 x 3504 )
Export witht: 574 x 1000 image width
JPG 1: 168kb
JPG 2: 194kb
Both jpegs have 600px x 887px (fram with mogrify plugin#) and 100%jpg quality.
Whe I set a limit to file size of 154kb, I receive following:
JPG 1: 102kb
JPG 2: with error ( couldn't create jpg which fit's the file size limit of 154kb )
If I export the second tiff manually with 90% jpg quality and no filesize, I get:
JPG 1: 114kb
JPG 2: 135kb
So it seems that the "limit file size" isn't really working.Also it seems that Valus between 92 and 100 ends in: same as 100.

I had a question on reducing the image size after editing in Photoshop.
After doing my changes in Lightroom, I typically make edits in Photoshop and then do some final touchups back in Lightroom. The RAW file from my camera is approximately 24 MB. After making my edits in PS, the TIFF file it produces (with all layers flattened) is in the 60 MB range.
My question is, if before sending in back to LR, I change the image size in PS say to 12 MB or so, am I basically creating a lossy jpg file? Meaning -- by reducing that TIFF file size down to 12 MB am I throwing out important information such that when I go back to LR I am losing information and won't have as much control as the 60MB TIFF file?
keep upwards of 80MB per image (due to the RAW + edited file). I don't want to lose imporant information so I will if I have to, but would prefer not.

I notice that when I use Lightroom 5 to rename the pictures contained in a folder, the folder size is reduced afterward. For example, a folder containing 349 jpg files was 1.52 GB but after renaming them, the folder size was redusce to 1.30 GB.

After import to LR 5, file size goes from 20-30mb to 40-50mb. Updates are current, no preferences have been changed. This issue happens with two difference cameras.

I take a large number of event images and the usual client request for images being sent to the press is image size rather than resolution, dimensions or other requirements.
Clearly in LR3 if the client has requested 3MB jpg the easy option is to after processing take my Canon 5d mkii RAW file and just hit export to max 3MB jpg.
My question is is it better - ie image quality better - to export by resizing longest edge to approx 3000 px and exporting to jpg which results in a similar file size, though different pixel dimensions? Or are they effectively the same?

I’m wondering if there is a rule-of-thumb that one can use to predict the approximate size when exporting a raw file in Lr to a jpeg file. For instance, would an average 25 Mb raw file convert to about 5 Mb jpeg with the Lr export quality set to 100? To about 3.5 Mb with a quality of 80? …
I know the size will vary, but when I am exporting a collection of raw files and I have set the max file size to a certain amount, Lr sometimes won’t convert all the images because I have limited the file size too small. I’d like to be able to get a handle on some sort of quality/file size relationship before I start the export process.
