A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Large Images Saving as Small JPEGS? (alien.top)

I am trying to get into printing some of my images from a Sony A7iii. When I make my edits in Lightroom and export a number of things happen: my ARW (raw) file is as big as 49MB, if I save a TIFF it could be as large as 200+MB, but when I export to JPEG it is saving as a 10MB file. Is there a way to increase this to allow for a larger print; say 20 x 35ish inches? TIA!

So how do you get those size of a file to the client cause GMAIL won't let you email anything over 5MB.

Its 25MB for gmail. But if you are sending a lot of images, just link a Google drive, dropbox, or other cloud.

Link to a cloud folder

I zip everything up, and use OneDrive with an expiring link and a password. Typically, the link is good for 90 days.
