While waiting for your reply, I did check my camera settings. I must have reset them at some point because it was set to SRAW, but the JPEG was set to Largest at 5472 x 3648. So I did some testing with PS on the JPEG file. The image size in PS of the orig JPEG does reflect as 5472 x 3648 If I save orig file, no edits as PSD and JPEG it stays as 5472 x 3648 If I crop to an 8 x 10, it's 2.47MB or 2550 x 3300, So, I think I'll be able to get by if I use the orig JPEG to begin my edits and try not to crop them down. I can't believe it took me so long to look at the camera settings. Taking another look at the RAW file and JPEG file: In file properties they are RAW 8.93MB / JPEG 3.33MB 5472 x 3648 In PS Image Size, the same file with no edits is RAW 14.3 MB 2736 x 1824 / JPEG 57.1 M 5472 x 3648 So, I assume that the accurate size is the one shown in PS Image Size and I should not be concerned with the property size. Do you know if I will be able to upsample the images to make them larger, if needed? I will do more reading on jpeg data compression as well. I'm not fully comprehending your car analogy. Thanks so much for your help in getting to the bottom of this.
