Summer Michelle Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Hey guys... I am exporting images from light room at 300 ppi and 100% quality and the file sizes are still only between 3 and 4 MB... The photographer I edit for says the files should be 8-9 MB... I am clueless as to what I am doing in the export process to cause the files to be "half" the size they should be to give to her brides.... Would love help... I looked around the site and didn't find anything... Thanks bunches!
Damien Symonds Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 What are their pixel dimensions? That's the important part. Some very important info here: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/08/about-jpeg-file-size.html
Summer Michelle Posted October 22, 2017 Author Posted October 22, 2017 Hi Guys! Sorry, I had my 10 year Anniversary and went MIA.... Unfortunately, I deleted said photographers images off my computer already... but I know the pixels were over 3000x2400 or something like that...

Summer Michelle Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 Damien, oops... the dimensions I just gave were her web ready... I am working on another one of hers and the dimensions are, 4256X2832 and shes using a Nikon D3S Another photographers i'm working on is 5472X3648 and she is shooting with a Nikon 810

Summer Michelle Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 Damien, all of my web readies are that big actually.... I use a Facebook action in the Erin Toles paintbox set...
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 No, this is CATASTROPHICALLY bad. 3000 is NOT Facebook size. The maximum Facebook size is 2048. This is the action to use. Delete the dangerous Tole one immediately.
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Have we meandered from the original topic? When you first posted this question, you weren't talking about web images, were you?
Summer Michelle Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 So, the height is 2048... the width is 3132... this is for a horizontal image and 2048 with a width of 1387 for a vertical... Is that still bad?
Damien Symonds Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Regardless of orientation, if you know what I mean. 2048 high for portrait images, or 2048 wide for landscape images.
