What SIZE are YOUR exported jpegs????

[jonademla]

I work on 2 different workstations. A Macbook Pro and a G5 tower.

For some reason the exported jpeg size on my Macbook are around 1.7MB.

On the tower they are at least 6-7MB.

When I open the image in photoshop the image size is the exact same for both the .jpg and the .CR2 files.

I shoot RAW with a Canon 5d. So the original files are 12.1MB.

I checked all of the export settings in Lightroom.

jpeg quality 1''
color space sRGB

Image Sizing and Output Sharpening are unchecked

I can't figure out why the file sizes are so drastically different. I have been searching the web and can't find any info at all. Any info would be fantastic!

Welcome to Lightroom Forums.

Can you either post one from each machine that we can look at, or give us screen shots of your export dialogs?

Hi Mark,
I appreciate your response, here is a screenshot from my macbook, the one with the smaller files.

Can you also post a shot from the tower to compare?

I don't suppose the smaller ones have been cropped down at all in the Develop module, have they?

You've got a post-process action running there by the looks of it - could that be resizing or compressing the image? What happens if you turn that off?

Victoria, you are awesome!!! That is what the problem was. Although it is strange because I have been using this droplet for quite some time on my macbook, I looked back at my older files and they are all larger. It looks like maybe when I upgraded from LR1 to LR2 that I started getting the smaller file size. Looks like I need to rework the droplet.

Thanks so much for pinpointing the problem. Well hopefully!

Pleasure!
