Massi Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Good afternoon, I wonder if there is a way to export images (batch export mainly) setting the minimum size of any exported pic. For stock photography I need images that should be 4Mb (jpgs) at least; I'm exporting from retouched Tiffs (generally 3600px X 5000px), setting "export to jpg" as my only custom option, some files are 4+ Mb but most of them are only 2-3Mb.. Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 In the New Batch Job dialog, you should see a "..." button to the right of the JPG selection, which will allow you to specify a few options. What Quality level do you have specified?

Massi Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hi Walt, thanks for the reply. You are right, my settings for jpg export were at 85, so I put it at 100 and now the size has increased. Still I wonder if there is a more accurate way to predict or keep the desired size into a specific range of Mb...in this case I need min 4Mb but I'd also like to avoid having 20Mb files. Working with tons of images would make this non time-consuming, I couldn't imagine do and check the export one by one.. I could easily do that in CaptureOne for example because for any image you can see how much (in Mbs) is going to weight, but it's a longer process since you have to create a new session for any export...

Don’t you just need maximum quality?

The file size for a JPEG at any given quality setting is entirely dependent on the content of the image: a 5000 px by 3600 px image with a diagonal linear gradient fill exports out of AD on iPad to yield a JPEG (at 100% quality) with a file size of more than 7 MB, but if I switch to a solid fill the file size drops below 0.5 MB.

Massi Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Alfred I really have no answers for you, that's what they ask and this topic is not about it. If you have any suggestion regarding the topic you welcome, besides that...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 8 hours ago, Massi said: the stock photography platform I'm working with need min 4mb images Are you sure it is a MB (megabyte) & not MP (megapixel) requirement for images in the JPEG format? Which stock photo platform is it? As @Alfred mentioned, a 4 MB minimum for JPEG files doesn't make any sense because the file size when using JPEG compression is strongly dependent on the compressibility of the image data, which in turn is dependent on the amount of pixel-to-pixel variation in the image. So for example, a photo with a lot of nearly uniform blue sky in it can be compressed to a much smaller file size without a noticeable loss of quality than a sunset shot with a lot of multi-colored clouds in it.
