File size incorrect in Photoshop CS6?

Hi Everyone,
I have photoshop CS6 on a macbook pro retina display.
When I open an image that is 8MB in finder, photoshop says that it's 143MB.
I did not change anything, just opened the file.
What did I dod wrong?
Cheers, Maxime

Becuase the file on disk is compressed.
In memory, it isn't compressed.
Also, JPEG is a lossy compression, so it will be fairly small compared to the decompressed image or the original image.

Anybody know how to increase the plugin file size limit in Photoshop CS6 to greater than 250 mb?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to increase the plugin file size limit in Photoshop CS6 to greater than 250 mb and how to do it? Can plugins running in PSCC handle larger file sizes than CS6?

Wow, thanks for getting back to me!!
I am running the latest version of HDR Soft Photomatix Tone Mapping Plug-In - Version 2.2 in Photoshop CS6 on a fully loaded solid state MacBook Air. When I attempt to process files exceeding 250 mb with the plugin I get an error message and the plugin will not work. The plugin works fine with anything south of 250 mb. I have also optimized the performance settings in CS6 for large file sizes.
The standalone version of HRD Soft’s Photomatix Pro easily processes files well in excess of 300 mb.
I have contacted Photomatix support and they say that 250megs is simply the max file size that Photoshop will allow to run a plugin with.
So is there any setting that I’m overlooking in Photoshop CS6 that will allow me to process these large files with the plugin? Or if there is indeed a file size limit for plugin processing in CS6 is the limit higher in CC?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
Please Help!

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

File Size Discrepancy Between Photoshop & the Finder

I'm trying to be as brief as I can, so here goes. The specific application (PS) is irrelevant, I think. This is about why an app shows one file size & the Finder shows a different file size. In this case, it's a huge difference, due to the file being an image.
I imported into PS CS, from a CD, an original image, which the Finder shows as 269.4 MB. The file format is TIFF, and the bit-depth is 16, not 8. The Finder shows it as a "TIFF Document." Now. I did a Save As and edited that as a master image file. So, I have two files: the original and the master.
I substantially cropped (deleted) pixels in the master file. So, at the same 16-bit depth, the master file should be smaller in size than the original. Right? However, the Finder shows the file to be 433.6 MB in size! Photoshop shows the file to be a more realistic 185.8 MB in size. Why is the Finder showing such a huge file size? Why is the Finder storing 247.8 MB more than I need? The Finder shows this file as an "Adobe Photoshop TIFF file," so there has been a change in format. The file is flattened; no layers, etc., are involved.
One clue could be that the Finder is storing the larger file size to accommodate Photoshop. If one multiplies 185.8 MB by 3, the result is close to the 433.6 MB figure. The 3 stands for the three color channels (red, green, blue) of each pixel (data element) in the image.
The original image, however, is stored correctly by the Finder. Photoshop and the Finder agree on the 269.4 MB file size. If the above scenario were true, the Finder would be storing the original file at three times the size as shown in Photoshop. In other words, there would be consistency in what the Finder is doing.
I suppose I could just ignore the discrepancy, but I have hundreds of images to process, and I don't want to have to go into PS every time to get a true reading of file sizes. The Finder should be accurate in doing that.
I may be in the wrong forum re: Photoshop, but here I think I can find some expertise re: the Finder, since the Finder's storing procedures are in question, to my mind. It's definitely an app/OS interface problem, as I see it. Simply, I edit a file downward in data, save it, yet the Finder saves it at a larger size.

...do you think a lot of cloning & healing brush might have added to the file size, even though I cropped the image?
Yes, depending on your History settings. The more you work on an image, the more history it accumulates. The more different states and sanpshots you save in the History palette, the bigger the file gets as you work on it, because you're storing (within the file) complete information about the file's state before and after every individual change you make to it. What I don't recall is whether that all gets saved to the file in a Save As, or whether the history is flushed each time the file is Saved.
I should warn you that I am by NO stretch of the imagination a PS expert. I was still using PS 5.0.2 until last February, when I upgraded to CS2 (knowing it will be years before I have enough hardware horsepower to run CS3). I'm a rank beginner with CS2, and if someone else wants to jump in here and point out that I'm all wrong, it will be no surprise to me. And because I never used CS, I don't know whether what I'm describing in CS2 is even relevant here.

File size doubles from Photoshop CS 5.0/5.1 to CS6

Hi there,
if this has been covered already I´m sorry, but anyway...
Working on a iMac27 with 12Gb Ram. Recently upgraded Photoshop from CS5.0 to 5.1, then shortly thereafter to CS6. What I noticed is that the file size of opened files with layers roughly doubles from CS 5.0/5.1 to 6.0. Everything seems to stay the same with a single-layer file, but not with files with several layers. Opening and saving files seems to have slowed down somewhat, but not drastically, but having a file with fomerly 1,5Gb suddenly increasing to 3,4Gb size is somewhat problematic because of limited Ram, because it effectively limits the amount of layers I can pack into one image file.
Any input is greatly appreciated!

Hi, thanks a lot!
Ok, one after the other:
Hello, are those document 16bits?
Yes - I saved a copy from the original file and reduced to 8bit. Slightly less when opened, but not substantially (from 1,51 Gb to 1,3Gb).
did you add the plugin to disable flate compression?
No, I wasn´t familiar with this plug in, but doesn´t it say that the file wize wil increase, but saving will be faster? Not sure if it would adress this problem at all.
Another possible cause would be the compatibility checkbox when you save.
I tried that (= unclicking the compatibility check box), and the file when unopened on the desktop was much smaller (down to 60Mb from 240Mb). However when opened it was still the same issue.
Are the settings in the infobar the same?
Not sure if I understand what you mean.... In the opened file, or getting info on the file on the desktop?
The filesize is the uncompressed one.
At the bottom of the image window it gives me 2 numbers: The left one is much smaller (163Mb), the right one is roughly 1,5Gb. Just opened again in PS CS 5.1: Left one is the same, the right one says 633Mb (16-bit file). So CS6 actually makes roughly 2,5 times the file size out of it.
Did you check on the hard drive if the file size changes?
Just did, the file size remians the same.
Kinda surprised that no one else seems to have encounterd this problem. I recall Chris Cox having made a comment about overall sluggishness of CS6 when opening and saving, and he remarked that it´s the "well known" layer management issue in CS6. Not sure if this somehow relates also to my problem.

How to create a new paper size preset in photoshop CS6

Hi, Im trying to create a new paper size preset in PS CS6. I was told if I went to my PS folder, I will find a folder named presets. Inside that folder there should be a text document called "New Doc Sizes.txt" but it's not there.
Has anyone any idea where I might find this text file in a presets folder?
I have a C drive, but my folder for CS6 is on my D drive. I use Windows Ultimate 7 x64.

There's a file named "New Doc Sizes.psp" on my Mac. "Save Preset..." in the "File > New..." dialogue stores custom doc specs in that file.
/Users/<name_deleted>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings/New Doc Sizes.psp
There should be an equivalent in Windows.

JP2 file cannot parse in Photoshop CS6

I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8 and need to open a JP2 file that is 2.11 GB. Photoshop throws out an error message "...the file format module cannot parse the file". Can anyone help? I would like to convert this file to a PSD file ideally.
Thanks

We were looking at HIRISE JP2s last night. HiRISE | Sedimentary Fans North of Mojave Crater (ESP_038851_1900)
Same parsing problem in Photoshop CC 2014, and my Dell i5/6 GB turned into a slug dealing with one of them.

Remove file that opens with photoshop cs6

Every time I start up Photoshop CS6 (Cloud), an old file opens but it has a totally different name than the file itself does and is a .psb file. I cannot right click on it, I have tried searching for it in my computer to delete the file, it doesn't exist anywhere. How can I keep this strange file from opening upon startup and get rid of it once and for all?

Chances are that's the recovery file from a photoshop crash.
If you you right click on the document tab, you should be able to get to the file if you click on Reveal in Explorer or Reveal in Finder.

Camera Raw (7.0.0.308) doesn't open Nikon D800 NEF file after re-installing Photoshop CS6 (13.0.6 x64) Help!

Well, the title sort of sums it up. Ohyeah, and updater tells me photoshop is up to date.
I had this version of photoshop running for about a year with no problems, after doing a clean instal of my macbook an re-installing of photoshop CS6, camera raw doesn't open my D800's files anymore.
All help is appreciated! Thanks!

What OS are you running? Perhaps it is too old to be updated to the latest ACR plug-in.
If it turns out that you need to manually install the plug-in, due to the age of your OS, you can try the process described, here, which is for rolling back ACR 8.4 to ACR 8.3, but the same thing would work to replace ACR 7.0 with ACR 8.3:

Preview locks files - cannot edit in Photoshop CS6

Preview has locked all my image files - Even if I use the dropdown menu in the Title bar and change it to unlocked - makes no difference - I still cannot save/save as when I open an image in Photoshop CS6 - it says I do not have permission, or someone else is using file etc. I have gone into Get Info - does not says file/folder is locked - have made sure that I have Read/Write privileges in the Get Info window - makes no difference. It basically means I cannot use Photoshop - the only thing that works in Photoshop is Save for Web. I have lost two jobs that I was to do by Christmas because of this - if anyone can help I would be most appreciative!

Set up CS6 as an secondary editor, and then it will use LR's built-in ACR to process the files, instead of the external ACR with CS6. The external ACR 6.7 also processes D800, just not ACR 7 just yet.

MP3 File Size in CS5.5 & CS6 Compared to AA3

Background.
I am the learning materials coordinator for a Barbershop Chorus and, during the qualifications process, members will email me a recording of their voice singing a song, while in the chorus, for which they have to note and word perfect for them to be qualified to perform that song with the chorus.
I use AA to convert the files they send me to the smallest high quality MP3 I can so they are easily listened to by the person receiving the file and the file size will be relatively small. Since this is a learning process ASCAP/BMI copyright issues do not apply (the Barbershop Harmony Society has verified this with them). With the advent of CS5.5 and, subsequently, CS6 the file sizes for a VBR, highest quality MP3, have grown to almost twice the size as before.
AA3, 2870k
CS6, 6034k
Obviously I'm still using AA3 for this conversion though I would like to standardize on the latest version of the software.
Any thoughts?

I performed a quick test comparing an 18 minute stereo file saved in CS6 and 3.0 as MP3, VBR, Highest Quality. The CS6-generated file was 28MB, while the 3.0 file was 22MB. However, Audition CS6 uses a newer compression kit that no longer supports Mp3PRO encoding. (Fraunhoefer no longer supports this scheme either, and I, personally, was never that impressed with the results.) Finally, the "Highest Quality" mode in CS6 encodes around 200Kbps while Audition 3.0 typically encoded around 163Kbps in Highest Quality mode.
I think you'll find a closer correlation between Au3 "Highest Quality" and CS6 "High Quality" VBR presets, when comparing the resulting file size. However, CS6 Highest Quality should sound better than Au3.

Does anyone know how to avoid grainy files after editing in Photoshop CS6 (Mac)

We have come across a problem using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 on a MAC. We use Illustrator CS6 for putting together the graphics and use Photoshop CS6 for editing. When we save the image in full res and browse the image - the image looks grainy both on a Mac and a PC. Has anyone else come across a similar problem and if so do you know how we can solve this problem?

Are you "Placing" the image files? What format are they saved in ( i.e., .tiff, .psd, .jpg, .eps )?
