when I move photos from photos to e.g. 5 m.bit to external disk are they 1.5 m.bit ??? why.

why has the file gotten worse (smaller pixels) when transferred to external hard drive?

How are you moving them?

In the export dialoge, you can select the export size - including full size.

moving jpg to external drive shows 0 bytes Why can't I move an edited photo from iPhoto onto my external drive? The transferred file shows 0 bytes. My original photo was on the external drive (a Samsung T7 with 2 terabytes. I've only used 23G). I copied the original photo into iPhoto to edit the photo. I'm trying to save the edited photo back onto the external drive, into an "edited photos" folder. The photo shows up as having 0 bytes. My iPhoto crashed a few days ago and I think I saw a message about corrupted files, but I didn't get a good look at it. Any help is appreciated.

Photo size integrity How do you download your original size photo from Apple Photos and original file name to external hard drive. I want to add these photos to Lightroom Classic. I am new to both the Mac World and Lightroom Classic. It seems when I copy an image it is a smaller size and the file name changes. Thanks for your help.

Exporting photos from iPhoto to external hard drive I've never had this issue in the past, but when I'm trying to export photos from Photos (for Mac) onto an external hard drive it comes up with a screen saying only a portion of my photos were exported, and the remaining were not exported due to unknown error 512. i even tried to export just 30 photos and same thing happened. I can only export to external hard drive because I don't have the space on my mac! Any help would be appreciated.

Size refers to dimensions: i.e the length by breadth measured in pixels.

Quality refers to "weight": the file size measured in bytes, kilobytes or megabytes.
