exporting jpegs size problem

[chrisorrell]

Hi i exported a file as a jpeg full size from aperture and it was 3.2MB, when i export that same file (but the master) and change to jpeg in photoshop the file is 8.2MB (these are canon 5Dm2 files 20MB original. why is there such a discrepency and why is aperture throwing away so much data. I have preferences in Aperture set to export Jpeg original size, but that doesn't seem to be full size any idea whats happening? thanks Chris

Hey Chris,

Found your question while searching for the same answer and I figured it out. There are three things you can customize using the edit tab to influence file sizes . 1) quality . 2) dpi. 3) export size . If the export size is set for 4x6 image size or a small number of total pixels you will have significantly smaller files. Configurable parameters are more detailed than Iphoto, which I have been using. Hope it solves your problem.
