CS6 can not save files over 2GB???????

I need to make a giant poster at 6ft wide x 5 ft tall. I created a blank document in CS6 at 200ppi. I created some text, and imported a couple of 25MB images. I am unable to save the file as a .PSD because it indicates that PS can not save files over 2GB.
1. How did this file grow to become over 2GB?
2. Why can PS not save a .PSD over 2GB?
3. What do you do if you need to create a large format print such as this?
Thanks in advance.

Very true.
However, Jeff knows exactly what he's doing and he's very, very good at it.  If your image were fortunate enough to end up being printed by Jeff Schewe, he'd be able to tell you exactly what kind of an image file he wants from you. 
Always check with the printer.

  • "Can not Save file name " InDesign CS6 - Cloud---WTF!

    Hello anyone
    This new Cloud Adobe CS6 is SO buggy.
    not my first issue with it...
    I am using
    Cloud version of - but locally installed
    Trial version of CS6 InDesign.
    iMac - mountain lion 10.8.1
    i7/12Gig RAM. SSD, and 1 T platter drive.
    Anyway-
    After many HOURS of InDesign work.
    Many pages, lots of stuff.
    I exported my work as PDF to send to my boss. Worked fine.
    But I can't save the working file.
    All Save menu items are grayed out.
    The astericks is there in the window title.
    When I just close the file- I am prompted to Save the file or lose my work.
    I hit Save and get window
    "can not save filename"
    with no error code.
    NOTHING!
    This has happened twice. First time not a lot had been done to the file.
    So I just re-started the iMac
    This time I stand to lose some real work here.
    Does this happen if I just use the free version!?!?!?!?
    I will happily pay after my trial but if this is what the new CS6 has in store, then screw Adobe.
    Can anyone help me???

    There's no difference in fuctionality between paid and free versions.
    There are two things worth trying, if you haven't already closed and lost the file. The first is to export to .idml, open that and see if you can save it with a new name: Remove minor corruption by exporting
    The second is riskier as it depends on ID's amazing file recovery after a crash. If the method above fails you haven't got a lot to lose, though, so here here's the next thing I would try:
    Force Quit Indesign. See Replace Your Preferences and use the manual method to replace the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData files (and while you're at it, make a backup copy of the InDesign Recovery folder). Also see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup and delete the additional files in John's post. If you need to delete or copy hidden files and don't know how to access them, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    When all that is done, restart InDesign. With luck, autorecovery will open the file again with not much missing and you can try to save it.

  • Firefox will not open on startup and takes over system resorces. Uninstalled. When attempting to reinstall, installer will not run from website, and can not save file to HD. No error message, it just never appears.

    After a system reboot, Firefox would not open. I opened the task manager, and saw that Firefox was using alot of memory, and was using 50% of the CPU. I ended the process, and restarted. The situation just repeated several time.
    I uninstalled Firefox using uninstall programs from the control panel.
    I then tried to run the Firefox installer from the website, it would open the download window, then the "run the install" window. After clicking "Run", the window just closes. So I attempted to just download the install file, and clicked "Save". I tried to save the file to several different locations. A download window would open, and run, but the file would not be there.
    I was running 3.6.12, the current version. And that is was I tried to install. After that failed, I also tried to install the beta 4, with the same results.
    No error messages have opened, and I have run scans for malware/spyware, and didn't see anything that jumped out as a problem. I am running Win Explorer right now. And it is running fine, but I much prefer my Firefox.

  • Solved my Illustrator CS4 (Can not save file) issue (same as with Illustrator CS3)

    Using Illustrator CS4, if the OS default printer is turned off, Illustrator will crash when saving the file to a name/format other than what it was opened as. I tested this and it's true, the bug exists in Illustrator CS4 (and was referenced in a ticket in this knowledge base on the CS3 product).
    You'd think ADOBE would figure out how to DOCUMENT this feature!!
    Set your default printer to ADOBE.PDF and all will be fine!

    You do have to have a default printer how you were able to run Illustrator is a mystery unless they change this behavior in CS 3 which I was not aware of but perhaps it is something I forgot.
    But I for one am glad you discovered the cause and cure and that you posted it, I don't have the problem but thank you.

  • Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

    OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
    Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
    I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original).  I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:
    Attempt #1:
         Action Steps Recorded -

    Please help!  This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save.  I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
    Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

    I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
    ~CG
    UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

  • Is Photoshop CS6 can't save a file more than 2gegabites?

    Is Photoshop CS6 can't save a file more than 2gegabites?

    It depends on the file format, many formats are limited to 2 or 4 Gigabytes.
    PSB (Large Document Format) is not so limited.

  • I am able to click on a picture in iPhoto to edit it opens automatically in photoshop cs6.  However when i am done editing I can not save that image back into iPhoto.  Can anyone help with a setting I am missing maybe?

    I am able to click on a pic in iphoto to edit it and opens automatically in photoshop CS6. However when I am done editing and save I can not save back into Iphoto.  Can any one help wiht this?

    Thanks Terence. What a relief. I still don't understand what the book I read was talking about then. Here's a quote from the section I was referring to in "iPhoto 08: The Missing Manual" book, p 91 (ISBN: 0596-516185):
    "Note, however, that the instant you edit a TIFF-format photo (Chapter 7), iPhoto converts it into JPEG.
    That's fine if you plan to order prints or a photo book (Chapter 11) from iPhoto, since JPEG files are required for those purposes. But if you took that once-in-a-lifetime, priceless shot as a TIFF file, don't do any editing in iPhoto-don't even rotate it- if you hope to maintain its perfect, pristine quality."
    After my test results, I thought maybe this was something that had changed from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09, so I went to the bookstore yesterday and checked the same book for iPhoto 09, and there it was, the same quote! (on a different page, of course).
    Anyway, thanks once again for your confirmation that my test was indeed correct. Linda

    Let us start from the beginning.
    It has been established that you have Premiere Elements 10. On what computer operating system is it running?
    There has not been a File Menu/Export/Movie export opportunitity in Premiere Elements since version 7. We are not up to version 12.
    For Premiere Elements 10, your export opportunities are all in Share/ including one for Computer. Under Computer there are several choices. The ones that you see are Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The others you have to scroll down to. And those choices are AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, and Audio. You do not have to use the scroll bar for this. You can click on Adobe Flash Video panel to get it to turn black. Then use the down arrow to go down the list and the up arrow to go up the list. Once you get to a category, you can select a preset and go with it or customize it under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset.
    If you post the properties of your source media that you want to try to match in the export, I would be glad to suggest the exact settings for you.
    We will be watching for your follow up with details.
    Thank you.
    ATR
    Add On...The Premiere Elements 10 File Menu is for more than Saving, just not exporting. One of the key features that can be access there is the Project Archiver. More on that another time.

  • Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

    We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

  • Illustrator cc 2014 can't save files

    Hi!
    I Have a lot of problems with the Illustrator CC 2014. And it freaks me out. I have no idea how to reach Adobe. I've tried another Adobe forum but haven't heard anything.. I would appreciate some sort of help. Or if someone knows where to post the question?
    1) First of all can't save files… I wish this could be the number one feature in a design app but apparently not..
    I got   "unknown error " and all work spent is gone forever. This happens a lot.
    2) also lagging problems. when moving graphics and zooming in illustrator. it is SO stressful.
    I have Two computers, with the same problems.
    Imac 27 " mid 2011
    Processor 3,4 ghz intel core i7

    Nils Petter,
    If no brighter suggestion comes up, you may try the list, see below.
    Did you install fully on both computers (after upgrading the OS if relevant)?
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
