Hi all!
We had professional photos done a few years back, and I blew them up (20x24) to hang on my walls, no problem. They were about 2-3MB each, and look beautiful!
Fast forward to now I’m dabbling a bit in portrait photography, and I shoot rawNEF and export from Lightroom as JPEG at 100% quality and my file sizes are massive! Between 13MB-30MB at times. My friends and family have a hard time ordering prints/cards online as they’re told the file sizes need to be compressed.
Am I doing something wrong? I don’t know what I don’t know. I compressed one for a friend’s Christmas card and it printed like junk. I’m shooting another friend’s wedding next week and I am concerned.
I use a Nikon D3500 with a Sigma 20mm.
Thanks in advance!
