Max JPG file size too small for today's cameras

Can you up the max allowed file size a bit for pro subscribers? I regularly get upper 20's MB JPG images from 5D2. I had been going crazy uploading images and seeing half of them disappear until I noticed there was a 24MB image per cap and I was getting many in the 24-28MB range. So how about going from a 24MB to a 30MB limit?

What exactly are you doing to your files in post? Also, saving at JPG 10 in Photoshop or 90 in Lightroom will get them down a tiny bit.

Nothing other than the basic levels/sharpening/etc. I had been saving them at level 12 in CS4 after processing. I guess level 11 will get them under the smugmug limit. I kind of had preferred to keep one set and at max jpg quality to really try to eliminate any little bits of potential artifacts but I guess level 11 would upload a lot faster (seems like maybe 16MB vs. 27MB for files at high iso or with very dense details, otherwise even at 12 they are more like 16MB) and upload speeds are always slow unless you are on a dedicated T1/T3 which I no longer am. I guess I probably may as well save the upload time and disk space and forget about using 12.

I'm getting a "File too large" error on a 41.71MB file with the HTML 5 uploader.
It appears to have worked just fine with the simple uploader.

This is such great news for those of us with larger files.

What browser version and operating system were you using?
Can you include a link to the successfully uploaded file so we can take a look at it?
Thanks!

HUGE HELP!!! Thank you for doing this. Amazing.
Thanks!
That was with the HTML 5 uploader. OS X 10.6.8, Chrome 17.
I am now using the Flash uploader and it seems to be taking the files. Fingers crossed... Here's the gallery affected:

Hopefully the HTML5 uploader can be fixed to allow those files since it was a bit of a pain to go through my gallery to figure out exactly where the cut off was.
Thanks!!

There were those three upload errors, but the issue was definitely a files size one in the HTML5 uploader with 9 files. The HTML5 uploader gave me an error code of "File Size Too Large" or something very close to that (sorry I didn't screen grab that one). When I tried dragging them back into the uploader as you describe, it gave the same error and wouldn't upload them. The Flash uploader worked perfectly for those files, however.
As for the upload log, how can I see what files it is noting had errors? The space for file names is way too small. My guess is that is a different problem and I'd like to track it down.

I can. I just created a new gallery (http://www.adamfarber.com/All-Photos/Private/test-large-files/) and attempted to upload the 9 problem files as well as the 10th largest that uploaded fine yesterday. That 10th file uploaded fine again, and I still got the error with the other 9. See the attached screen grab. As you can see, the error is very tough to see (that's another problem), but through the magic of highlighting, copy and paste, I can confirm the error is: "File too large".
I've uploaded the 9th largest file (the first one with a problem) to my Box.com account. I will PM you the link to download.
Thanks for exploring this, Andy!

I just uploaded it with no trouble in Chrome, same exact version as you, on Mac. Can you try clearing fully your Chrome cache and trying again?

Cleared cache and cookies completely. Same result. I drag the photos into the HTML5 uploader and it *immediately* tells me they are too big. It doesn't even attempt to upload. It's really instantaneous.
Same resulte with Firefox 9. I wanted to try Safari 5.1.2, but the HTML5 uploader wouldn't load at all.
Very odd.

Do you still get this error on the HTML5 Uploader? If so, what OS are you on?

Nice work I just raised the flag about the Nikon D800 factory jpg being larger than 24mb. This will open you up to medium format photographers also. (** I think **)

Hey Andy,
Having this problem again with a new gallery and new set of photos. I'm using the same OS/browser (OS X 10.6.8, Chrome 17), but on a different computer. This one is from work. Please see the attached screen grab. The HTML5 uploader is simply not permitting anything over the old MB limit. It's not even trying. It seems to just look at the file size and say "nope." I know this is obvious, but are you sure you're not using a newer version of the uploader code as an "inside guy"?
Thanks for your help!

No, same exact code as you're using. Write our heroes with the details, we'll chase it down, thanks http://help.smugmug.com
