Is it always this small file size!?

Would be easier for members here to help if you actually bothered to post more details.

My bad, Im quite new to photography & post processing. I was just done editing my JPEG files.

Jpeg out from my cam is around 1 - 2 mb in size. When i right click to export, then when its done exporting, i went to see the image. No doubt image is of great quality. But then, my hand got abit itchy and click on flie size.

I got the shock of my life when it reads 500kb. my image is 500kb!? Quality is unreal for a 500kb photo.

Thats why i seek help here. U guys have the same small file size?

lets ignore about the file size first, what are the resolution of the mentioned images? and to judge about the image quality, you need to include samples here.

most images you see on Facebook are only few hundred Kbs, yet some of them still looked quite good quality and clear enough.

I take for example this photo I shot with my friend's D600.

Out from the cam its 4.6mb. After lightroom its down to 965kb.

I may be paranoid bout this things la. however if the quality is not affected, i'll just might as well not care lo.

Hi, Ze. You may want to check out this thread by Adobe: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/expo...c-workflow.html

You may want to check your inputs into File Settings and Image Sizing in the Export prompt.
