I'm not sure why I haven't seen this here before. Maybe I'm missing something?
I understand the straight forward "export" options in Photos (although I don't see a way to resize when exporting, but that's the last paragraph...). But I noticed:
When I drag to my desktop the files appear to automatically export with higher compression but at the same resolution. The higher compression is favorable for emailing and texting but is there a setting for this somewhere, just so I know what options there are?
When I drag to my desktop RAW files become jpgs, which is fine..., but
If I "share" through the Photos App any RAW files that aren't edited are shared in their original state, as if exported using the "unmodified original" options, but as soon as you make an edit, it is then shared as a jpg but in the more compressed form like you would have by dragging the photo to your desktop. Exported, in my test, it is the bigger jpg.
I would simply like to know what is happening for all these various ways of sharing/exporting. Does anyone know?
Also, when exporting from Photos, I often use the Preview App to resize it smaller (and compress more) before emailing or messaging because those files don't need to be so big (and compression isn't an issue). Are there settings anywhere in Photos for this? If not, I'm fine with that. I don't want Apple to overcomplicate everything. I simply want to know if it's been there all along.
There may be more things I'm not acknowledging by my wife is yelling at me to get off the computer...
Thanks everyone. Happy New Years.
