I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to shrink the Megabyte size portion of a picture down after I have edited a picture in PhotoDirector ,my problem is the current program I use for this is to slow and takes 25 seconds a picture just to load into the program.

I take all my pictures in RAW as well.

Hello Wade7575,

I actually attempted to respond to your previous post on this question, but the whole thread miraculously vanished!

In PhotoDirector, after you've edited & adjusted your photos, you export them in JPEG, TIFF or PNG format. Automatically that will change (not necessarily reduce) the file sizes.

As I understand it, you wish to reduce the file sizes without decreasing resolution. The best way to do that is to export as JPEG, and set the quality setting in the Export dialogue to an acceptable level. Look under File Settings.

Example - a 6016x4016 .NEF file from Nikon D5300 had a file size of ~12MB on import. Exported at 100% quality, with no reduction in resolution, ~22MB. With quality set at 90%, the file size is ~7MB, at 80%, the file size is ~4MB
