[QUOTE="cbay, post: 519376, member: 35177"] So i'm trying to get some prints made. I thought i had it ready, but looking at the file sizes i started to get concerned. I exported from lightroom at 100% as jpegs. I thought that was correct? They range from 4 - 18 mb in size. But,,,, there are a few that are 1.9 mb and they were photos that were originally converted to tiff in nikon and then edited in lightroom. The original tiffs in viewnx show them as 137 mb, they show that in lightroom as well. But when i export they are 1.9 mb. Now i figure the ones from 4-18 mb in size that were nef files originally are due to cropping and amount of detail in the photos?? But the tiffs converted to jpegs is a problem. I had the individual at Nations review the small ones and they did say they were close to their minimum for print in terms of resolution. Being wet behind the ears i didn't save the original nef's when i converted to tiff on the photos in question. What's going on here?? I would greatly appreciate some assistance with this situation. Never had digital prints made before and it's a little frustrating. Thanks in advance, Chris [/QUOTE]
