A7ii image size in photoshop


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

 

I recently switched from canon to sony and bought the a7ii, so I'm still new with all the camera functions. I changed all the settings to where I want them (RAW, uncompressed) but when I upload the images to photoshop, I noticed my images automatically come out size at 16.4X10. I find that weird because when I use my Canon 5Dii, my images in photoshop will come out to 21.6X14.4.

 

 

Is there a function setting I'm missing on my a7? If so, what do I need to change? 

 

 

I've added 2 images to compare the image size on both cameras:

 

Canon 5Dii

I am new to both the camera and Photoshop? How do you save as a JPEG of a suitable file-size that can be downloaded to, say, this forum. I am just getting messages saying image tool large to download?

 

This forum does not seem to have a software section, so sorry for tagging this onto your thread smilewtf but couldn't find a suitable location?

My guess is you have set Adobe Camera Raw (the windows that pops up when you open a raw in Photoshop) to interpolate down your files instead of opening them at native resolution. And you set a bigger interpolation for the Canon. Just look at your screenshots, the Canon is 18mp and the A7 II 10mp (the Canon shoul read 21 and the Sony 24; multiply width by height to get the value in megapixels)

 

To set CameraRaw to open your files at their native resolution:

- open a raw file (you will have to do this once for each camera because the preference is camera-specific)

- click on the bottom, where it says something like "Adobe (or Prophoto) rgb; 16bit; SIZE IN INCHES; 240dpi"

- in the preference window that it will pop up uncheck "Resize to fit"

Done!

Not a PhotoShop user but there is probably an EXPORT style or something that lets you specify the resolution. Typically I use about 600-800 resolution (longest edge) for uploading photos to this site.

Almost:

 

- first you need to reduce your resolution with "Image > Image size..."; choose anything from 800 pixel to 1500 (for the longest edge)

- then you export for web (not the same as "Save as...", it will cut a lot more weight) with "File > Save for web..." choosing one of the jpg presets (I prefer high)

    • I'm beginning to think that I have a misconception about the a7R. The one I was wanting had the shutter release button on the hand grip with a resolution of 36mp. It appears the button moved to the handgrip on the a7R II model, which had 42mp resolution.  Sorry for any confusion, I'm in the learning stage yet.  😕 I may need to go with the basic a7 II at 24mp. The 36mp (R) model had the shutter release on the camera body (which I didn't care for).
    • I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you. 
    • Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.
