The size of the files after processing is no longer the size it was a few days ago.

I have a problem. I use LrC since 2020. I process the files so that they come out in TIFF. Suddenly the ITFFs that used to be 76MG are now 8 MG. Same camera, same lens, same workflow. Is it that I have too many photos in the collections and LrC is saturated?

Correct answer Per Berntsen

A 16-bit 3648 x 3648 tiff without compression will be 76 MB.

A 16-bit 1139 x 1139 tiff without compression will be 7.42 MB.

So this is perfectly normal.

You set compression in the export dialog. For 16-bit tiffs, the options are None and ZIP.

What are the pixel dimensions and bit depth (8 or 16) of the 76 MB files?

What are the pixel dimensions and bit depth (8 or 16) of the 8 MB files?

Do you always use the same compression setting when exporting?

76MG= 16 bits . 3648px

8MG= 16 bits . 1139px

"Do you always use the same compression setting when exporting?" I think so. Where can I check it?

So a much smaller original is 8 Megabytes, that doesn't seem to be a problem in my mind.
