edited photos showing wrong size

edited photos showing wrong size

Good morning all..

I'm expiriencing a weird behaviour, related over externally edited photoes.

In practice i have iPhoto interpreting a 4928x3264 like a 1596x1057 pixel.

I already tried to use "option+alt" options (tried all 4 of them), anyway i get that after fixing/rebuilding db or thumbs (option 2 and 3)

it gets fixed for a while, but after restarting iPhoto, it goes back to that wrong size.

This is not just a wrong label over the screen, becouse even the zoom factor gets involved,

so that i am not able to zoom in/out in the right way..

I have checked the real modified file for it, and size is the right one.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

thanks for your attention 🙂

i simply do "open in esternal editor", edit with PS13, save as jpg overwriting the file opened...

OSX preview shows it correctly and Finder's information pane shows correct dimension data

Sounds like something that PS13 is doing.

What files are you sending over? Jpegs? Raws?

Original files are raw,

i have the "use raw on external edit" switched off,

so my external edit flow starts from jpeg files created by iphoto.

Anyway, when iPhoto shows the wrong size metadata, if i use "File"->"Show in Finder"-> "Edited file",

the jpeg that gets targeted presents valid metadata and a valid preview.

Kinda weird...

P.S.: merry christmas everybody 🙂

i have the "use raw on external edit" switched off,

Then it's your iPhoto Previews that are being sent to PS, not your actual photos.

afaik raw are read only,

and yes for sure it's the iPhoto shown version that is sent to PS..

Anyway this shouldn't explain the reason why it handles a wrong metadata dimension..

I am now tryin' a library rebuild with "iPhoto Library Manager".. hope this will do the trick..

Sadly it didn't...

Same as rebuilding from iPhoto, after quitting and reopening the photo library,

images do get wrong size.
