PS CS6-Why are file sizes so huge?

My psd's are almost double the size as compared to similar files created from CS5. There are no vector objects, no huge amount of layers as compared to my older files and not a lot of visual information. It seems that a text layer consisting of 6 letters is about 3MB. I've turned of Autosave and Background saving in preferences. It doesn't seem to matter.

Maximize PSD and PSB Compatibility >> Never
(from Adobe Help)
Maximize compatibility for PSD and PSB files
If you work with PSD and PSB files in older versions of Photoshop or applications that don’t support layers, you can add a flattened version of the image to the saved file.
Note: If you save an image in an earlier version of Photoshop, features that version doesn’t support are discarded. 
Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
From the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility menu, choose any of the following:
Always
Saves a composite (flattened) image along with the layers of your document.
Ask
Asks whether to maximize compatibility when you save.
Never
Saves only a layered image.

  • In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each cropin

    In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each croping? Thx

    Select the Crop Tool and check the box [  ] Delete Cropped Pixels and you should see a reduction in file size.  With the box unchecked, the data is still maintained in the document, you just can't see it.

  • When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

    When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

    Here are the steps so you can see all the files that make up your Keynote…
    Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
    Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
    Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
    Open the folder there are the files
    Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)
    You might be able to do this and convert the voice narration to a smaller format.

  • Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

    Greetings.
    After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
    Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
    Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
    Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
    Cheers,
    Jon Michael Ryan

  • Premiere Pro CS6, large project file size - crashing etc

    Working on a project in Premiere Pro CS6 - also incorporating after effects and using 2 external plugins (Beauty Box and Factory Pro FX).  Project is over 500MB, lots of comps, titles etc.  project seems to be corrupt on my machine. .The project crashes continually. I cannot save my work, I cannot export, I cannot create XML and media is linking incorrectly.  When I pull the project in on my laptop (separate machine) which has CC 2014 running, the project is FINE.  That said - I need to work off of the more powerful machine to do this job - so need to find a way to troubleshoot.  Note - project opens on my partner's machine, she can save + export, etc - however the media in still linking incorrectly on her machine as well (note partner does not have the 2 plugins, beauty box and factory Pro FX) - that said, it still links to the wrong media.
    We have worked out a work-arond where we pull all of the AE sequences out of Premiere and into separate AE project which has made the project workable again but we know something is WRONG and we need to fix for future ASAP.
    please help!
    thank you

  • Why are Preview saved file sizes so HUGE?

    We have a neat copier at work that will scan in a document and email the pdf to you. So I have a 100 page document that I scanned in 4 chunks that yielded 4 pdf files of about 2.5MB each. I opened the first in Preview and then dragged the remaining 3 files in to create my final 100 page document. When I did the Save command I was shocked to see the resultant file size came in at 27MB! I searched around the menus and tried a Save As and selected the option for just black and white. The file that was created when that command finished ended up being 67MB.
    Anybody know how I can just get the originally expected 10MB file size? Many thanks in advance.

    I just tried the Combine PDFs program and it also yielded a 27MB file size when the sum of all the input files was only 10MB. So now I'm really confused. If I had to take a guess, I'd say the pdf format supports some kind of compression and both Preview and Combine PDFs can read in compressed pdfs but can't write them. I still need to get down to the 10MB size (because I can't email the file 27MB size I ended up with) so I'm still looking for help.

  • Why do file sizes change when I use "Process Multiple Images" to add watermarks?

    Hi,
    I'm using Elements 11. In order to add watermarks to many JPG pics at once, I use the function "Process Multiple Files".
    I select a source folder and a destination folder, and adds a three digit serial number to each file. I do NOT tick the checkbox marked "Change picture size". After that I define the watermark I want printed on my pics and hits OK. All the files in the source folder are processed and saved, with a new name in the destination folder. Fair and square.
    But. The file size of the new file is heavily reduced, compared to the original. It goes from 10 MB down to 500 KB (in general). Why is that? Is there any way I can prevent it?
    Regards,
    /Mikael Lindgren

    Or you can uncheck the convert files box to save them in their original format, or select one of the lossless formats PSD, BMP, TIF. What is most appropriate depends on what you intend to do with the watermarked versions.

  • SSRS report Excel Export file size is huge

    Hello everyone,
    I am facing an issue with SSRS report exporting  to Excel.
    Issue : Exported file size is too big.
    I have a matrix report ( parametrized report ) it fetches data from multiple table.
    initially when
    1) I select all parameters all values
    2) load the report after that
    3) exporting to excel
    so exported file size was about 10 Mb to 12MB
    Now, suddenly from this month exported file size is too big around 62 MB for same data,
    I checked on different forums and tried the solutions but it didn't worked,
    can anyone please suggest me on this.
    My environment is
    Visual studio (BIDS) 2008
    SQL Server 2008 R2
    Excel 2007
    Thanks

    Hi UdayKGR,
    According to your description, when you export a report into an excel file, the exported file size is too huge. Now you want to reduce the file size. Right?
    In this scenario, do you export the report into excel 2003 file? When reports are first exported and saved to Excel 2003, they do not benefit from the file optimization that Excel automatically applies to its *.xls workbook files. The larger file size can
    cause problems for e-mail subscriptions and attachments. To reduce the size of the *.xls files for exported reports, open the *.xls files and then resave the workbooks. Resaving the workbooks typically reduces their file sizes by 40 to 50 percent. Also please
    try to install the Reporting Services 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 and reduce the merged columns in exported excel file. For more information, please see the links below:
    Exporting to Microsoft Excel (Report Builder and SSRS)
    problem
    regarding the size of exported report from reporting services to excel format

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Export to Word file size is huge

    Sometime after the end of March, the "Export to Word..." action in Pages has started producing very large file sizes.  The Pages file itself will be 119KB, but after exporting to .doc, it will become 1.5MB.  I have to export Pages files to Word all the time, to submit files to submission systems that have max file sizes, so I've been unable to upload my files, which is obviously a problem (and didn't used to be). 
    To fix this I have tried... restarting.  I have deleted the Pages plists, restarted.  I have tried exporting on a different computer with the newest version of Pages, which produced the same file size result.  I have copy/pasted the text into a new file, tried again.  Etc, etc.  In the end, I had to borrow a friend's computer to pull the 1.5MB Word export into Microsoft Word itself and resave, to get the expected smaller file size of 47KB.
    Please help.  Or, if there is no solution, I'll report as bug to Apple Feedback.  Thanks!

    To my knowledge all Pages 5 Exports have been particularly bloated.
    Since I have not considered Pages 5 worth using for serious work I can't compare between Pages 5.1 and Pages 5.2 as to whether the problem has actually got worse.
    All I know is that Pages 5 files & Exports are massively bigger than Page '09 files & Exports.

  • Why is file size of exported clip so large?

    I have a movie clip in MPEG-4 format, 3 minutes in duration, 720x400. I ripped it (using Handbrake) from a DVD I own. Let's call this clip Clip A. I wanted it to be smaller, so I used Quicktime Pro 6.5.2 to export it. Let's call the exported clip Clip AE (E for exported). Clip AE has these properties:
    Compression: Sorenson Video 3
    Quality: High
    Frame rate: 15
    Width x Height: 310 x 200
    Sound format: QDesign Music 2
    Sample rate: 22,050 kHz
    Channels: Mono
    File Size: 5.5 MB
    Great. That's just what I wanted. Now I go to a second movie clip I have in MPEG-4 format. This Clip B is only 90 seconds in duration, 720x400. I export it to Clip BE. Clip BE has these properties:
    Compression: Sorenson Video 3
    Quality: High
    Frame rate: 15
    Width x Height: 310 x 200
    Sound format: QDesign Music 2
    Sample rate: 22,050 kHz
    Channels: Mono
    FILE SIZE: 25.8 MB
    In both exports I set the Key Frame Rate and Data Rate to automatic. So, everything is the same except Clip BE, which is half as long in duration as Clip AE, is 5 times larger in file size.
    I'm no expert at using QT Pro, but this result just does not make sense to me. Why is the second exported clip 5 times larger than the first one. I wanted to email both of them to my wife at work as a little surprise, but the second one is way too big for my email account. How can I get the file size of that second clip down to the size of the first one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    iMac G5, iBook (dual USB) G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The second clip probably has more detail or motion than the first.
    Open Clip AE and choose "Get Info." Note the data rate of the video.
    Now export clip B again, but instead of setting the data rate to automatic, set it to the same number as Clip AE's data rate.
    You will lose video quality, but the file should come out smaller.

  • Exported mp3 file size is huge!

    Does anyone know how to control the size of an exported song? For a 5 minute track I'm getting a 60Mb MP3!! I'm guessing this is done by setting the a different bit rate for the exported song but can't find any options in Garageband to do this.
    With such huge file sizes it makes it difficult to share the song through my website.

    No, you're not getting a 60 MB MP3, but a 60 MB AIFF file, and that's the regular size for uncompressed audio files. The bitrate in GB is fixed, and you wouldn't want to change it. Instead, convert the file into an MP3 or AAC in iTunes.
    (Come back if you need help with doing that.)

  • Why do file sizes change between Windows to Mac drive?

    I'm moving a large number of files from a 3TB Windows NTFS external drive to a 3TB Mac OS Extended Journaled external drive.
    Now, comparing the original file to the copy, I'm finding that the file sizes in the Get-Info window are different on many of the files.  (I would say the majority of them.)
    Did something go wrong and do I now have corrupted data across thousands of files?  Or does a NTFS drive calculate size differently as a Mac-formatted drive, even though the files are identical?

    Does it happen on all kind of files, or just txt files?
    Usually, it comes from the fact that Unix (from which OS X closely derives) and Windows don't have the same way of "recording" changing lines in txt files: in DOS and Windows, going to the next line, whether manually when typing or because you imported a txt file made by someone else (or another machine) means using a "carriage return" (yeah, I know, sounds old), where Unix uses a "line feed". 
    A carriage return will first send the carret back to the beginning of the last line you typed in, before switching to the next line so you can resume typing, whereas a line feed will jump to the next line directly. This leads to some invisible extra characters being typed, and since each digit or key press brings its own byte or octet in the balance, your files might end up being heavier under one platform than they were in another.
    The Notepad application in Windows is known for its poor text wrapping (which it makes up for by being a good tool for coding, for the same reason), with the user/writer needing to feed its own carriage returns in the text, when Wordpad is more user-friendly, with better text wrapping, but doesn't show the same flexibility that Notepad has.
    The same principle applies to all txt-based files, hence to .log files too. And log files tend to be created by applications for this purpose or that, without you knowing it.

  • Trace file size is huge

    HI Experts,
    In my production database one trace file alone getting created in huge size, could you please make me aware of the reason behind this and solution to this.
    Path:/oracle/admin/proddb/bdump

    Regards,

    You can limit trace file size using MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE db parameter if you have a free space problem too.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams116.htm#REFRN10103
    But of course this wont solve your original issue. Try to analyze content of the trace file and try to solve the base issue.
