File size wrong when editing in...

Sometimes when I right click on an image in Lightroom and choose Edit in Photoshop, the resulting file in Photoshop has a size of 72 dpi and usually like around 3'' on the long side. The original file is 13 mp so it isn't because the initial file is small. This happens maybe 20% of the time, and I cannot find a pattern to it.



My workaround is to open that image in Bridge, go through ACR and it is then fine in Photoshop.



I am using the Photoshop CS3 beta, but I don't suspect that is the problem.



Anyone else having this issue? Is it something I am inadvertantly doing? Or if it is a known problem is there a fix?

What is the pixel size of such an image?

%26lt;span style=''color: rgb(102, 0, 204);''%26gt;%26lt;/span%26gt;

Of course when I TRY to make it happen so I can answer, it won't, though it did 2 with two images earlier tonight. As I said though, it isn't like it is 72dpi and 20 inches long. It is 72dpi and like 3''.



Any ideas??

This suggests that maybe there are some ''rogue'' images in your library. Perhaps previews from somewhere else; we can't know until you can reproduce it and examine the image.
%26lt;br /%26gt;(It's ppi, not dpi)
%26lt;br /%26gt;
%26lt;br /%26gt;
%26lt;span style=''color: rgb(102, 0, 204);''%26gt;%26lt;/span%26gt;

If you do find such an image, I'd be happy to take a look at it. Just post back and I'll send you my e-mail, or you could look it up here.

Hmmm. Wonder why these few images would be any different than the ones before/after them? They are all raw files from my 5D, imported by Lightroom from my cf card. And again, I can process the same files I had problems with in Lightroom through Bridge and go into ACR and they are fine that way. Next time it happens, I will email you the CR2 file...thanks. Hopefully you can see something interesting about it!



Is there some place in Lightroom that I can specify what ppi and/or file size to use when I edit in Photoshop? The files (other than these weird ones) are currently coming in at 240 and I'd prefer 300. Just saves me one little step of changing it, but hey every step helps in a workflow!

The only Edit in PCSC settings there are are the ones in Prefs under External Editors. Nothing about Size or Resolution, just PSD or TIFF and Color Space (sRGB/aRGB/ProPhotRGB)or bit depth (8 or 16).

Thanks Don, that is all I could see too.
