File Saved Size is Twice Normal Size - Photoshop CS3 OS 10.6.7

I don't know what happened to make a couple of Photoshop files about double normal size on disk. I've been using Photoshop for a long time so I know how big the files should be - they're multilayered files which are normally about 250MB but are around 500MB+. I don't see anything different in 'Preferences' or 'Mode'. I have always used 'Maximise Compatibility', it's not that.
I've had a couple of strange things - like a few other people I've started getting the alert that says the file has changed since it was last saved. And also I tried a test converting the file from my usual 8-bit to 16-bit and saving - which resulted in a substantially smaller file size.
Can anyone help?
David

Sorry! I've figured it out!
I imported layers from a psd file written by a third party application (Artlantis). It seems to be writing the layers in a massively inefficient manner.
But thanks for your responses, I've learnt something about 16bit.

I was loading a big file of photos from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop CS3 and more then midway it keep collapsing, yet each time I re-open photoshop to load a small amount of photos, it load the previous photos again, and again it collapse. is there a way to stop this cycle and start a new?

I can't open a file i was working on yesterday in Photoshop CS3. Please help!

It keeps telling me : 'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop'. I can't view my file at all and it's very important. Help!!

Could you have mis-named the file and it is actually some other file format than the suffix indicates?
Otherwise the file may be damaged and your hopes of salvaging it depend on your back-ups or recovery software …

What happened to file saving options in Lion?!

I recently upgraded my Mac to OS X Lion and Photoshop CS5 seems to be working normally, albeit a little sluggishly, since the upgrade. However, when I create a new Photoshop file, create some layers, then "Save As", all my normal format options are missing. The only choices I am offered are Large Document Format, Photoshop RAW and TIFF.
If I open a JPG or PSD file, there's no problem. The "Save As" command gives me a normal file saving window with the normal format options. But a new file transforms itself into something totally alien! What's going on here?

I think you're right. I was creating some banner text and did stretch the document borders out to quite a large size for convenience. I have since moved half the text to a second document and my PSD doesn't turn into a pumpkin when I open the "Save As" window.
Thanks!

How do I get Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3 to show and open camerea RAW files?

I am not able to see or open Raw files from my Canon 40D in either Photoshop CS3 or Bridge CS3. At first I was able to open RAWS in Photoshop and then I followed directions on the internet at how to manually replace a Camera Raw Plugin so I could open it in Bridge and now neither of the apps work with RAW. In photoshop It says that the file is not supported.
I looked up what plug in I needed and it said 4.2 for a Canon 40 D. I also followed the instructions in the read me file that was with the plugin download. No results from it. I even tried to switch it back to the old plug in to see if I could atleast get back the capiblility of opening it in Photoshop even though bridge was not working...still can't open it in either. What am I missing?

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

Photoshop CS3 & 10.5.6

Hi all, apologies if this issue has been raised previously.
I was wondering if anyone had had any problems saving to a networked drive in Photoshop CS3 whilst using OS X 10.5.6?
We had terrible problems in most iterations of Leopard whilst working off our server (I know this isn't considered good working practice), and was wondering if we could go back to it without loosing work.
TIA

This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
cease and desist immediately
in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the
CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

PhotoshopNews: Adobe Photoshop CS3 at a glance!

http://photoshopnews.com/2006/12/14/adobe-photoshop-cs3-at-a-glance/
Even more content out there now on the home page of PhotoshopNews.com

I haven't been able to download CS3 yet, but the Martin Evening pdf (thanks for the link!) has what looks like a piece of great news buried in it:
"For example, before you first had to create an empty new document with the exact pixel dimensions before you could place an image (such as a raw file) as a Smart Object. With Photoshop CS3, you can now place a raw capture file as a Smart Object layer in a single step."
If I understand this right, it means that the functionality of the old Dr Brown Place-a-Matic script is now available from Aperture. We can -- or this makes me hope we can -- send a RAW from Aperture to PSCS3 for editing, and then Place the same image, perhaps twice, as a Smart Object, edit away, and when we Save get the whole edited image back in Aperture without going through the Finder.
I used to use this (from Bridge) all the time to double-expose RAW shots: adjust the sky to one exposure and the ground to another, masking to get both into the final image, all without messing with the pixels of the RAW image. I've missed it. Whoopee.

Imageready 7.0 imagemaps in Photoshop CS3

I work at a company where we have occasional need to publish web pages to our intranet which have irregular shaped slices as links to other pages.
Previously we always used the simple rectangular slice in Photoshop 7.0. Sometimes I would switch to Imageready to make irregular shaped image maps with links to other pages from them.
We have recently "upgraded" to CS3 and I only have access to Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Upgrading to CS5 is not an option unfortunately.
I have psd files which were last saved in Imageready and contain imagemaps with links in them and all had nice little rollover actions.
Now, I need to use the existing file and links and add a few new imagemaps and links to it using Photoshop CS3.
My understanding from a brief Google search is that I can not actually do what I need to in Photoshop CS3 and in fact need to have Fireworks or Dreamweaver.
This posses a few problems for me:-
1) Can I open the old imagready file which conatined imagemaps and links in Photoshop CS3 so that I could maybe make simple slices for my new links whilst maintaing the old links based upon the irregular shaped imagemaps?
2) Am I correct in thinking that I can not make irregular polygonal imagemaps/hotspost in Photoshop CS3?
3) If this is the case what would you suggest is the best option to an occasional Phothops user such as myself with no current skills in Dreamweaver or Fireworks.
Any suggestions are much appreaciated.

3) If this is the case what would you suggest is the best option to an occasional Phothops user such as myself with no current skills in Dreamweaver or Fireworks.
Learn HTML and CSS? Seriously, image maps are just coordinate lists and can be hacked in any text editor, if no UI-based tools are available and that is perfectly doable just with basic HTML as is any stuff with simple links. Of course you can find quite a few free web design tools such as Mozilla's SeaMonkey, so failing other alternatives, it may be worth a try...
1) Can I open the old imagready file which conatined imagemaps and links in Photoshop CS3 so that I could maybe make simple slices for my new links whilst maintaing the old links based upon the irregular shaped imagemaps?
No.
2) Am I correct in thinking that I can not make irregular polygonal imagemaps/hotspost in Photoshop CS3?
Yepp.
Again, learn HTML for what you need. You're falling victim to the old misperception that any of this would be dependent on specific tools and features, when all it requires is to understand the specification.

Photoshop CS3 has encounted a problem

I installed CS3 under my Administrator username. If I start PS CS3 extended under a different username login, the program starts OK, but will not open any files except camera raw files. The program displays the message "Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to shut down...". Even if I save a camera raw image into a psd file when logged in under the different username, I cannot open that file when logged in under the different username.
My question is: Is this normal behavior?
My systems is:
Dell M6300, XP Pro SP3, 3GB ram, 72.3GB free disk space, PhotoShop CS3 extended Version 10.0.1

Well, but are your user priviliges set correctly? If you add users post-creation of a folder/ file, they will never inherit any info about that user, thus operating on such directories does fail. The only exception is, when you log on the first time on a freshly created user account, but even then it will only affect user directories and standard system directories. Also remember that to actually do some work you have at least to be a Power User or otherwise you may not have permission to read and write any files, regardless of their location.

LR cannot launch Photoshop CS3

My Lightroom 2.5 installation fails to edit images in CS3. It launches the CS3 application but the file does not appear, and LR reports that "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS3 could not be launched" - even though it was!
If I run CS3 first rather than expect FR to launch it, then the same problem occurs. If I setup Photoshop as an External Editor, then CS3 is launched and the image is opened OK so CS3 seems to be able to accept being run by LR. Unfortunatelt I was hoping to use the option to use the "Merge To PAnorama In Photoshop" option provided in the default Edit in Photoshop menu, so the manual External Editor is no good to me.
Anyone seen this before, or got any idea how to fix it?
TIA
HArv

Sorry Ian, bit of confusion at this end.
LR is using Camera Raw 5.5 but CS3 is using Camera Raw 4.6.
My camera is a Nikon D300 so 4.6 should be fine.
I do get a warning when trying to open a bunch of images for "Merge To Panorama In Photoshop" that CS3 only has ACR 4.6 but LR has ACR 5.5, but I select "Open Anyway" as I would expect it to work, or does LR 2.5 not talk to CS3 properly when merging to panoramas - I wonder?.
Any further ideas?
Thanks again

Desktop view is twice normal size

Help. I have Leopard OS; the top tool menu bar, and all of my files are considerably larger than normal. I cannot find the solution to return to normal sizing.
Not sure how this happened. I may have accidentally clicked something, but cannot figure out what it could be.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Unaccurate file properties (size, weight)

Hello,
Bridge displays unaccurate properties of files. When I compare the same picture in Bridge and Apple Finder, the same file has different properties, such as size (Bridge seems to show an older version of the file?) ,weight and resolution.
I've tried purging the cache, but nothing changes. I've also tried opening the same folders and files in two different computers (Win and Mac) and I have the same problem with Bridge.
Another strange thing: When I open a file with inadequate properties from Bridge to Photoshop, it opens with the same wrong (old?) properties! While the file opened in Ps from it's actual location opens with accurate properties.
Why doesn't Bridge refresh the files properties? What did I miss?
Below is a picture of the comparison of the same exact picture from the same folder, opened in Bridge and Finder.
(On Windows, I have the latest version of Bridge CC and Photoshop installed, and on Mac I have Bridge and Ps CS 5.)
Thank you so much for your answers.

I edited my message,
Yes I saw that later on. Problem is, I mostly use email to follow this forum and edits are not send again as a new post, nor do I get a warning the post is edited. Hence I did not see it but had your original message still present in my mail
You mention not using ACR for cropping or resizing purposes, may I ask what's the best way in your opinion?
Personally I use fixed sizes in PS. Standard size, square and 2/3 and 1/3 for panorama. I also use the shortcuts Front image (I) and Rotate (X) if needed when cropping. There are a lot of options in the crop settings and also a lot with Right mouse click menu in active crop.
I also use the resample option to keep the same ratio and pixel size. This might sound scary for some people but over the years PS has made a great job of massively improving image interpolation. So in this way I end up with same ratio and size of files which provides me a nice overview and about the same file size for PSD and Tiff (for me with EOS 1DX 18 MP in 8 bit around 50 MB each.
I know it is not non destructive but if needed I can always go back to the original DNG file. And I use limited settings in ACR because most of my edits are done in PS with actions that create lots of adjustment layers and layer mask to make editing very easy and fast with stunning results. Especially using many sliders all the time is very time consuming and boring
Personnally, I use a combination of both ACR and P; but, just like you, I find ACR cropping presets "lousy", but I do like the fact that I can overview several files, or a whole folder at a time, and setting my resizing in just one click, while in PS I'd have to go to each file individually to check my resizing. (In the case I want my picture to go from rectangle to square, for example), which, when you have hudnreds of picture to resize, is impossible.
Everyone has it own needs for a specified workflow so you always have to find the one that suites you the best. You can indeed use one click to apply ACR settings for crop to all selected files so for that ACR is the best one.
You couldn't even script the process in PS, because each picture has to be checked individually, in case you crop too much of the subject.
To a certain extend you can, open a bunch of files (depending on size max 20 or 30 for fast processing) and just create a new action, name it and start record your wished crop and apply, stop record. Then undo this on the first file, Choose menu file / automate / batch and start the acton on the opened files. As long as the files are still open you can always undo. For a proper oversight use menu Window / Arrange / Tile (adjust one file to fit in the window then same menu but Match all (I have created shortcuts for this myself) and you see them all in one screen
Besides the overview of my resizing, what I also like and never found in PS is that I can set a limit to my file weight during a saving process of a batch of files. Unfortunately, this option doesnt comme in the batch processing of Photoshop, not even the image processor. But mayve I'm missing something?
Again, to a certain extend using fixed pixel amount and save as Tiff or PSD file size (that is what you mean with weight I presume?) will be in about the same range. But when it comes to jpeg this is just not possible. Take two images of the same pixel amount, one with much grey or 3/4 blue sky and one with for example a wild flower meadow. Use jpeg 10 on both for example and the one with the flowers will have probably 20 to 40 % more KB or MB just because the difference of the many colors in the subject. Jpeg means compression which means deleting surrounding pixels that look the same as the middle one, reopening the file will calculate those pixels again and shows them about properly. The higher the quality of compressing the more accuracy you get. The many different colors need to keep far more original pixels then the blue sky or grey wall

pls help T_T

Much more information is needed, such as exact version number of Photoshop CS6 (such as 13,0.6, or 13.1 etc), of your OS, your available disk space, printer model and printer driver version, etc.
Is your file saved as a PSB, or PSD, TIFF?

Photoshop CS3 error saving files - Could not save ... because the fileis already in use or was left

I have a problem with Adobe Photoshop CS3 that only started happening last night. Heres a description of the problem.
When I try and save a Photoshop file, I get the following error message:-
Could not save (filename). because the file is already in use or was left open
I have rebooted my computer, rebooted our server, un-installed & reinstalled Photoshop and also done a system restore, and I still have the problem. (The system restore actually caused huge problems I got the error message The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support, except I wasnt able to reinstall or uninstall the product. The computer just would not run the installer. I had to undo the system restore.)
I can do Save For Web with no trouble and I can save files to the same location with every other Adobe product installed in the Web bundle, just not Photoshop.
We have 2 machines here with an identical set up (hardware and software) and the problem is only on one machine.
Even though Photoshop says it cant save the file, its actually saving the file in the following format:-
~psX.tmp where X is a random variable, either characters or numbers.
I have to manually open My Documents and rename the file to filename.psd so I can access it again.
Short of reformatting my computer (which Im not keen on doing because it will mean several wasted work hours and I will have to pay our IT people to come in and hook me back up to our network), how can this problem be fixed?
I have also Googled the problem and the only help I found was a suggestion to search for a psicon.dll file and rename it. This file does not appear anywhere on my system, so I'm at a loss.
I have contacted support about this issue, but thought it was also worth while to ask here at the same time.

I'm having similar problems with not being able to save files after editing them (and giving them a new file-name, obviously) in Photoshop Elements 4.0. I get an error message saying (for instance): "Could not save as (whatever I'm trying to name the file) because the file is already in use or was left open". Then I see a .tmp file (that I can't open)
I did a search and found that the file was being saved twice, once within Photoshop (where I'm working with it) and also in..
"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\Temporary"
I'm assuming this is the problem, but if you have any clue as to why is this happening and what I can do about it, I'd welcome any input. I've been using PSE-4.0 for years, and this problem just started cropping up. The only (cumbersome) way around this problem has been to just make my edits (in PSE-4.0) and do a "save" under the original file name, then go into explorer and rename the file. So, in short, I cannot do what I've been doing for years, editing a picture and saving it (renamed) in the sane folder (or a different one).
I can "see" the .tmp files in PSE-4.0, but they won't open.. but they will in JASC.. odd..
Thanks-
Bob
