DPI issues. Resolution for background layer. Possible to change DPI settings per layer?

I have 8 layers.
My Background layer is a 800kb JPEG. When moved to Photoshop it becomes 30MB.
I cant figure out any possible way to keep this background layer size small.
I would like to lower the resolution, or quality, or anything of JUST THE BACKGROUND... but then my entire image changes quality.
How can I fix this???
Attached is JPEG. When I move into my existing 7inch by 7inch canvas as a new layer, it adds 30MB to the file size.

Thanks for the responses.
I understand what you mean about the 12.5MB, but as soon as you add an additional layer with even a small image... it balloons the size of the file.
Here is how you can duplicate my issue -
1) Drag over my background jpeg file as a Background into Photoshop. Save as PSD File. 12.5MB
2) Open a separate PSD File and drag over a layer with an image or just the image (i used a 500kb image within a PSD file). Save. File size doubles or triples!
3) You can then delete the background... and Save again. You are now left with a +-500kb PSD file. Crazy!?
The math just doesnt add up.
By the way ---
I was in CMYK mode, if I switch to RGB mode then flatten the file, I think this maintains resolution but loses layers.
New file size is significantly lower.
I was sending off my complete PSD files but I think I should Save As and then flatten each file before sending. I assume this is the only way.
Once I flatten though... there is no turning back right?

Is it possible to change the settings in AR Properties Advanced tab with Adobe Acrobat XI?

I noticed when I went to print a PDF double sided, that despite the following the guidelines from Adobe on this process, it still printed single sided. I checked the properties of the PDF itself and on the Advanced tab, the DuplexMode was set to Simplex and was greyed out.
Is it possible to change the settings in that tab with Adobe Acrobat XI?
Regards
Sharon

Dear Sara
Thank you for your reply.
I have two printers, both support automatic duplexing. Any PDF we receive
or create we are unable to print double sided on our mac mini¹s. I didn¹t
make it clear in my question that we were fine on Windows XP, but, having
recently changed to Mac have encountered this frustrating problem.
I did a lot of research prior to recording the question and it appears I am
not the only one who has come across this problem, and I have followed the
guidelines that Adobe promote on their website to be able to print double
sided, which doesn¹t work on the mac mini Osx Mavericks.
Because the Properties, Advanced tab has ³Print Dialog Presets² that are set
to simplex and greyed out I took that to mean that no matter what printer
settings I make, and I think I¹ve gone through all that I can, the pdf will
not print double sided on Mac but will on XP.
Sorry this isn¹t the reply you must have been hoping for and look forward to
receiving further advice in regard to this matter.
Regards
Sharon

When i queue a file for export the encoder is changing my settings to ACC Audio & my settings are not in the drop down

There's something else going on. When you search, the search box searches the Spotlight database that it created when indexing. It doesn't search the computer again. I suspect a hosed index. System Preferences->Spotlight->Privacy->delete all volumes and readd them back in. That should reindex the computer and all attached HDs. BTW, by default there are many places Spotlight doesn't return information from, mainly the various Library folders and the System folder. If you want to find everything, do this:
Click on the Desktop, CMD+F, click on Kind button, select Other, drill down to File invisible, check it, continue down to System files, check it, and click OK. Now, click on + button, click on the left-hand item and select System files and select are included, click on the plus button, click on the left-hand item and select File visibility and select visible or invisible, select File Name, save the search, drag its icon to the Dock, and use to search your entire Mac—currently starts with By Name, but Contents is available. I use this instead of CMD+F or CMD+spacebar for all searches.

WiFi issue: Is it possible to change WiFi settings in a way that it does not switch off in the screen-lock mode?

I have iPhone 4 and 4s. WiFi is automatically switching off on both phones when they are inactive (screens are locked). It is connecting back after some seconds I unlocke the phone. But because I have no subscribtion for the Cellular data usage, I am being cuted from Internet all screen-locked period. All that time people are not able to reach me by email, skype, or other programs using Internet. It is quite uncomfortable, especially when waiting for something important! Is there a way to change this setting?

The iPhone does not shut down WiFi completely when asleep. It does use a power conservation mode. You should still receive notifications. There is no setting for this. It should work for you as it does for me if you don't have a network problem.
There are lots of problems reported with D-Link routers and they don't have a great reputation. If there is no help available from D-Link you may want to consider installing the DD-WRT firmware. It's available for the D-Link 615. See here for information: http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index
By the way, you do have Notifications enabled for the Apps you are talking about right? See Settings -> Notifications and Mail, etc.

Is it possible to change proxy settings for all profiles that´s created instead of the standard options. We need to change "use systems proxy" into "automatic"

Proxy Problems
We need to be able to change the default settings for the proxy for all profiles on our computers that´s created for new users.
Standard is that firefox takes the option "use the system options" for the proxy. We would like it to use the option "automatic" instead like IE and Chrome does.
Considering that we have over 500 computers doing this manually isn´t an option, because a new profile is created everytime someone logs on to a computer they haven´t used before.

You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaultspref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
This will work for all existing and newly created profiles.

Recon account ready for Input-Not possible to change during MIRO

Hello
We are on ECC 6.0
System does not allow users to change Vendor Recon A/c during invoice verification through MIRO. Recon A/c field is greyed out under Details tab in MIRO.
Recon Account has been declared as Ready for Input and Alternative Recon A/c has been mapped wrt GL A/c by assigning it an ID.
However, i am able to change recon A/c during invoice booking through FB60 or F-43 t codes.
What am i missing?
Does sytem allow change of Recon A/c in MIRO? If yes, how?
Thanks.
Vimal

Hi, check vendor rec. account for this Company code, then check Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable-Business Transactions-Postings with Alternative Reconciliation Account-Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts
If there exists such Defining, so check may be Alternative account just for Aut.posting, or forbided for posting in this Currency

OSB: Is it possible to change throttling settings with WLST?

Hi all,
I am trying to find a solution to change the throttling settings of a business service with WLST, since it is not possible to set it in the customization file.
I already know the parameter alsbImportPlan.setPreserveExistingOperationalValues(boolean) to preserve or change the operational values with the imported jar file, but I cannot find how to change the parameters separately for a business service (e.g. throttling state, max concurrency).
Thanks for any help,
Katja

Hi Fabio,
thanks for your approach. Could you give me some more ideas how to do that exactly? What do you mean with "write a code"? With WLST it does not work, I think. So you mean some code to extract the jar, change the xml, package the jar again and then deploy it? We need the changes at deployment time, because the settings have to be adjusted for the different environments.
Best regards,
Katja

Change default settings in Layer Style dialogue

Hi there,
I often use outer glow set to black and with multiply, as opposed to yellow and screen which is the default. Is there any way to change this permanently?
Thanks!
felix

It's not really worth using layer styles for two settings. On the other hand, if all you need to set are those two settings and you plan on using that one type of Outer Glow a lot then you could save a style that contains only those settings but that still doesn't change the defaults so you'll have to modify your workflow. If you plan on doing that then make sure that you have the Styles panel close by because if you Shift+click on one of the styles in the Styles panel then it adds those styles to the current ones instead of replacing them and no, this doesn't work if you select the Styles tab from the big Layer Styles dialog box

Is it possible to change the wait time for when you enter an incorrect password on your iphone/ipad?

I reaaally hate how anti-procrastination apps like ColdTurkey don't work for apple products, because what's the point of restricting internet usage on the computer when you can just access it from your apple device? There's no point in using the parental controls or setting passwords for obvious reasons, either.
So I had an idea: from what I know, after guessing the password incorrectly 6 times, the device is locked for 1 min, 7 times, 5 min etc. So I was thinking, is it possible to change the settings, for example, to lock the phone for 60min after 3 wrong password attempts? This would be incredibly helpful!!
(if you know a way but don't want to post it here, please email me instead!)

Thanks a lot Rob. That works.

Is it possible to have different settings for different podcasts?

I know that you can change the setting for podcasts on iTunes - things like how often they're checked for new episodes and whether they're all kept or deleted after listening.
But some podcasts are more timely, like news programs, and I would like to delete those when they get old. Others are "keepers" and I would like to keep them indefinitely. I know I can go back and manually delete individual episodes, but that's kind of a pain.
So is it possible to change the settings for individual podcasts?
Thanks.

Thanks. There is an option for allowing or not allowing auto-delete, which looks like it may be what I want. I'm giving it a try.

Is it possible to change settings in "Help System info"?

Is it possible to change Photoshop settings by clicking on Help and then System info? Since there is the possibility to type and the OK-button, I just started wondering.

All Help > System Info does is to report your system specifications so you can copy and paste them in the forums for troubleshooting purposes.
You can choose what to highlight and copy, but it does not change anything in your system like editing a configuration file would.

Is it possible to change zero options in "Secure empty trash"?

In the "Secure Empty Trash" feature in Tiger, is it possible to change the settings regarding how many times the file being deleted is zeroed out? Can I choose a 1-pass or a 7-pass, etc?

I don't think the "Finder" itself offers a way to change the number of overwrites performed during a "secure empty trash". Note that "secure empty trash" just calls '/usr/bin/srm', using the '-m' option -- 7 passes, including zeroes, FF, F6 and random according to the 'man' page.
Depending on what you are after, and being mindful of the different possible paths for items in the "Trash" in OS X, you might be able to use 'srm' directly, using the options of your choice. Though not recommended, if you get into hacking system files, the options probably can also be changed to some extent from there.

One layer style changing all the other layer styles? Turn this off?

I'm sure there is an easy answer to this but I cannot seem to find it. When I am applying a style to one layer in CS2, and lets say I give it a drop shadow that is different (say it's at 110degrees rather than 90degrees) compared with the other drop shadows in my other layers, the curent layer style will change all the other layer styles across the board. I've looked all over for some setting to change so each individual layer keeps its own style but I can't seem to find this. I want each layer to have its own style attribute and not change the rest, how do I correct this?
Thanks for your help!
Tegan

You need to uncheck the global light option in the layer styles dialog.

HELP !!! can i change page-settings for a single page ??

hi all,
i´ve got a problem with my document settings:
can i change the settings (especially the documentborders) for a single page, without changing the settings for the whole other document pages ?
for example: page 1 --> border left 2cm , right 1cm
page 2 --> border left 4cm , right 1cm
PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Hello mamamague
All you need to do is select Insert->Section Break. A new page will be started. To adjust the margins you need to select the Layout Inspector (second icon on the top of the inspector) and adjust the margins in there. The Document Inspector still makes global changes and the layout ones are relative to them. It helps to turn Show Layout and Show Invisibles on so you can see what's happening to the document format as you play with these settings.
Good luck!
