JPEGS: LR sizes vs PS sizes...

[Etrsi_645]

When I exported some LR DNG files to Jpeg at 55% quality and 8''px on the long side and low screen sharpening, their sizes were mostly 15' to 4''K large. Then I brought the pics into PS, did an image size to 8'' on the long size, converted to 8 bit, converted to sRGB, and did a save for web and devices at 58% quality.. Those resulting sizes were all under 75K.. Why so large for LR with a mostly similar scenario?


thanks

Save for web strips the thumbnails and all the metadata (you can do this with Metadata Wrangler plugin for LR), and also you applied sharpening to the LR bunch which would have meant they couldn't be compressed quite as much.

And if I'm not mistaken, Lr always embeds the ICC profile as well.

thank you all; that solves it.

Yeap, the Metadata Wrangler does the trick too!
