Can I upload PHOTOSHOP files to smugmug?

christie

or just jpegs?

the reason I ask is because I am having trouble when i convert from my RAW file to jpeg. The raw file starts out so huge and after I do save as JPEG (clicking on the 12 for maximun quality/largest size) my jpeg file is still only 2.3 MB.

Do you think this is high enough quality for clients to get good quality enlargements?

I'm also worried because I am preparing a CD for a client today and I'm worried about giving her a cd of images that are so small. but I don't know how else to make them any larger.

My friend gave me a CD of jpegs that were all 6MB and I asked her what she did and she said she shoots in raw and does the same conversion that I do so I don't understand why my files are so much smaller.

If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks
Christie

Hi Christie, don't confuse Megabytes with file quality - lots of megabytes don't always mean high quality

You can only upload jpgs to SmugMug and we can only print from jpgs. More, here: http://www.smugmug.com/help/upload-photos
