Yes
Nicki, the second file you emailed me is only 175 kb, is that the full resolution image?

If it is, then there is your problem.

This is how it came out the camera and downloaded so what do I have to do?

I`m not a Canon user so can`t help with that.But ask on the forum,it must be a setting in the camera.My basic jpegs out of a D200 are 6 megabytes,yours was only 175 kilobytes. I`m pretty sure that is where the problem is Nicki.


ANYONE HELP?

I am shooting in RAW + J PEG is this the problem?
 
To clarify, Nicki sent me the full resolution image of the grey squirrel from her long lens thread.The image is only 175 KB`s, Nicki says this is how it comes out of the camera, I don`t know Canon settings.Perhaps one of the Canon users can shed some light and help out?
 
Not if she's shooting RAW+Jpeg...??????
I mean RAW is RAW is RAW - it's a full-size image...

I think someone needs to go round to Nicki's and have a play with her lens - she's about to throw the towel in...anyone near Oxford?
 
I think we need a bit more info about how you download and what you are attaching to emails to see what the problem is Nikki. If you are shooting in Raw and Jpg [not necessary tbh, but thats a different issue] thn file sizes should be considerably bigger then that. Did you attach a thumbnail rather than full image or something?
 
Yeah, I think it must be something that Nicki is doing in PP..............:shrug:.....and I am the last one to advise on that.
 
presume shooting raw plus jpg thumbnail... and sent the thumbnail

would advise changing settings to jpg only for now..until used to camera.

Hey Guys I know and I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING THERE. ;):thumbs:

Just off out now and I am going to shoot in J peg only today I always shot in this ultil someone put me onto RAW at the CWP meet and not sure about that, I seem to "Loose" my photos :lol::lol: on the computer.

Fingers crossed and will post a couple of results later today be it good or bad so beware !
 
Don't know your camera but you may have jpeg choices - small - basic - large - small normal - fine

try setting to fine - large and see what file size that gives you.

aahhh, I am guessing there is nothin on your computer that reads RAW file, so Dave is getting you sorted out on that, and in the meantime, the jpgs you have are just thumbnails. Job done, enjoy todays shooting :thumbs:

I am not convinced so we will see later!
 
Not been following what seems to be a bit of a saga but the file size sounds like a windows thing where you use 'send to' email recipient and windows resizes it for you.

Find the raw file (or a large jpeg) in explorer. Then go start a new email message. back to explorer and click on the file you want to send and keep the button pressed... drag the file onto the email message and let go the mouse button. it will be attached to the email so you can send the original file without windows resizing it.

If you can't see the email message once you go back to explorer for the file, drag the file onto the task bar button for the message then the message will come to the front for you to drop it on the message text area.

hope that helps :)

That was my thought too.
The 450D does have an in-camera selection for the image quality.

Nicki, if you can rule out it being a problem with PP / EMailing first. i.e. narrow it down to being a problem with how the JPEG files are coming from the camera, I'll dig out my instruction book and let you know how to change it.
(If it's the RAW files that are coming over at a dodgy size though, I'm at a bit of a loss)

Are you using the standard Canon software to load it up to your PC?
Happy to talk you through the whole process beginning to end if you want :)

Have fun out with the camera today.
 
I think this is a pc/e-mail issue and not a camera issue.

Even on the lowest quality jpg setting I would expect larger file sizes than this. I suspect your e-mail client is reducing the image size to make e-mailing easier. I've had a similar problem in the past when e-mailing images and had to force the mail client to attach the full size image.

Hopefully Sarah will be able to rule out the camera side of things for you.

Good luck and I'm sure that we'll get to the bottom of this problem for you.
