Urgent Help Image Sizing
I've got a twit of a client that is demanding JPEG outputs of 5000x3333px and a fixed file size of 6MB.
There is no telling her that file size depends on the content of the image.
If i don't provide all my images at 5000x3333 at exactly 6mb then she will go elsewhere.
All her stuff was previously done by someone using Lightroom where you can limit the file size so this wasn't a problem. You set the limit to 6MB and shooting on a 32mb full frame, not a problem that anything would come under that.
I can't find this option in capture one. please tell me its there, because I don't know lightroom, and refuse to use it however this woman is literally screaming at me down the phone because I can't figure this out in capture one.

You can always let Capture One output your JPEGs with no file size limit (I don't think there's an option for that), and then use for instance GraphicConverter to reduce the file size to 6 MB. 0 -
Thanks for the answer. But if i'm using 2 programs i might as well bite the bullet and use lightroom. You'd think that due to images for website there would be a file limit option in Capture one in the process recipe 0 -
Right. This is a real shortcoming of Capture One. Contrary to Lightroom, Photoshop, or many other softwares, it is not possible to fix a size limit and let C1 adjust the JPEG compression in order to get the requested size.
On top of that, the file size given in the "process summary" tab is very, very approximative, and sometimes you need to process by trials and errors several times before achieving the good size (for the web, for instance).
It's a pity....
But all the rest is so good !!0 -
You're telling me it's inaccurate!!!! It says 4MB in mine and spitting out 18mb files! 0 -

Well you said you refused to use Lightroom. 😊
GraphicConverter, as the name implies, started out years ago as a multiformat converter, and is therefore highly suited to this kind of job.0 -
I'm trying to get the company i'm freelancing at to use capture one across the board for all their in-house staff, but due to them having all their imaging based around lightroom whenever i come across something like this they just shoot me down and say they're happy with lightroom as they won't have to change any of their setup.
They don't care enough about the slight improvement of image quality, easy of use, recipe processing options you get with C1pro enough to change everything because it doesn't do the basic things they want. It's time Phase one stopped catering for just the high end medium format users. Everyone knows it's a superior program, it just doesn't do the basics very well.0 -

The uploads system i'm using requires all files to have exactly the same names across different folders within set folders of different resolutions of the same image. I can't have extra folders, multiple or one single extra file or the system doesn't work. I don't think Graphic converter can output several formats in several resolutions in set folders using the same file names all at once.
It's the systems fault here. Its hugely overcomplicated, however it doesn't allow you to even upload single item without all the options filled, correctly.
I don't have tome to do them one by one, which is why i like capture ones multiple recipe output. It's ideal for this.0
