Welcome to the world of jpeg. Compression varies depending upon the picture. Large monotone areas compress more than areas with a lot of small detail. If you compare the photos to their compressed sizes you will see what I mean. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok here are the facts: * Camera - *ist

Jpg compression varies depending on the content of the picture. Lots of areas of continuous tone compress far better than something with lots of detail or lots of grain/noise for example. The camera doesn't know in advance how small it will be able to make the files, so assumes that they will

But, that doesn't address his question, which asks why the total number of shots that showed up in his folder exceeds the number he said he put in there.. He took 57 shots, up- or downloaded them to his computer and now his folder contains 101 images. Where did the extra images come from? keith

No, he told the camera 'supposed' to have capacity for storing 57 shots, then it actually stored 101 pix. It happened to me too, with different cards, different figures and more or less same 1:2 ratio between calculated pictures and true capacity. Dario Bonazza Keith Whaley wrote: But, that

Well if you can vouch for all the pictures, what's the problem? :-) The predicted capacity of 57 shots is assuming that all the pics will be full size. Check the total number of megabytes for all the images. If it's more than 256 Mb, I'm at loss... Jostein - Pictures

Okay, but... A saved size of 17.3 MB sounds like it didn't save in .jpg but RAW! Does Photoshop do something to an imported image that would account for that massive increase in file size? The poster said the file size of each downloaded and saved image file, I assume on his computer, was between
