What the H#$%!!!

AND the answer is this... With Winkflash you have to download their "transporter". You drag and drop your photos into it and tell it to send to Winkflash. There is a check mark for "turbo" upload and yep - it decreases your resolution GREATLY!!!!!. It wasn't a problem with my photos after all. WHEW! It's a wasted order that I placed - but at least it is now resolved. I was so afraid that I was missing something with the editing!

Thank you all again for the advice! I have reset my Light room settings as well now. You guys are great!!!!

Exporting at 11,000 PPI would make a photo really, really, really, small.

3000 px divided by 11,000 PPI = 0.27 inches.

3000 px divided by 300 PPI = 10 inches.

You're right.

I think I was thinking more in the terms of "How in the HELL... would you want to cram all that into a file when 300ppi is printing standard?"

I dunno how to explain what I was thinking. My mind twists stuff up sometimes. Obviously. :lmao:

Either way... 11,000ppi is so totally not needed for what she's doing, haha.

11,000 PPI makes me think of this video:

I just ****ing shot myself - YouTube

I see in your profile you're shooting with a Rebel XS. 10mp RAW. Anything more than minor cropping/straightening, you'd likely end up with 6-8 MP, and then converting it to JPG would make something about 2mp, and selecting other than 'max size' JPG would reduce that even further.

I learned a similar lesson when I had my G-5 and later 30D (8mp)...not enough megapixels to leave a 'decent size' after anything more than minor cropping. So I upgraded to a 60D to get some 'cropping headroom'. That made a world of difference. RAW was about 22 megabytes and large JPG out of the camera about 8-9. I just moved up to a 5D3 and it's roughly 35 meg / 10 meg sizes. LOTS of cropping headroom.
