How can I find the correct file size of a layered Photoshop document?

I need to send layered PSD files by email (Mac's Mail), and I don't use services like Dropbox. My ISP allows a maximum file size of 5 MB. I reduce the file size by reducing it to 8 MB/channel, 150 ppi and reducing the maximum size dimension to 10 inches. I'm using CS6 on a Mac.
If I check the file size using Get Info, I get 9.4 MB.   
If the file is nested in a folder, the size is likewise, 9.4MB.
If I attach the file to an email, I notice at the bottom left the file size is given as 12.0 MB.
If I send the PSD layered file to myself, I find it uploads and dowloads quickly. On the email itself, it says, "1 attachment, 923 MB".
On my Mac "MAIL" folder, it says the the file is 1.2 MB.
If I calculate the file size mathematically, I get a size of approximately 4.3 MB. That is not counting the individual layers or the mask stored in Channels, for which I don't know the calculation.
This is a total of 6 measurements of the file size of my attachment, 5 of which differ.
Is one of these correct?

I'd say 9.4 mb is correct. Email attachments always put on a lot of weight, so 12 mb as an attachment is probably right too.
Why don't you use a free service like Filemail? It's very easy to use, and you dont't have to sign up to use it.

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

    How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

    Hi vickyb,
    Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

    Reducing PDF file size or Optimizing PDF is the feature that is supported only by Acrobat Pro (desktop app that is not free).
    Optimizing PDFs (Acrobat Pro)
    Free Adobe Reader products (Reader XI desktop, Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, Reader Touch for Windows 8, etc) do not offer the capability.

  • How can I find the largest files on my hard drive (sorted in descending order of size)?

    To make most efficient use of Time Machine backup, I would like to have the option to exclude certain larger files that I don't need to save in case of a disk crash (e.g. a Windows partition under Parallels Desktop, which is backed up at the office anyway) etc.
    I can't figure out how I can scan my entire hard drive and obtain a list of all files in descending order of size, irrespective of within which subdirectories such files are hidden. Anyone having an idea on how this simple task can be accomplished?
    Thanks,
    AnLe41

    While Finder is active, press Command-F (Find in the File menu).
    In that window you can set search criteria. In the second sub-toolbar should be a couple of buttons representing pulldown menus; by default, the first usually shows "kind". Click that one.
    In the menu that opens, if "Size" or "File Size" is not available, select "Other". Then in the new window select "Size" or "File Size" and okay the window. From then on that choice will be available in the first pulldown menu.
    You can use that to search your drive.
    Note - by clicking the "+" button at the far right of the strip containing the pulldown menus, you can add additional search criteria, thus restricting a search to exactly what you want.

    I think the main issue here is the port on my localhost, how to define or get the correct the port???
    Thanks
    czh123

    What port is the listener attached to? When you installed Sybase, what port did you tell it to use? Is the listener up and running?
    Try telnet into that host and port:
    telnet 127.0.0.1 7878
    If you can't telnet in, your app won't be able to connect, either.

  • Where and how can I find the two files?

    I begin study j2me.but I cannot find files j2me_cldc-1_0-src-winsol.zip and j2ne_cldc-1_0-src-palm_overlay.zip in java.sun.com.
    If you have the two files ,do you send me one copy?
    My email is [email protected],thanks.

    [szlzhm],
    The j2me_cldc-1_0_2-fcs-kjava_overlay.zip file is no longer available for download as this old Palm overlay package is unsupported and not part of the CLDC 1.0 specification.
    If you are interested in the Java virtual machine for the Palm OS environment, we suggest that you take a look at the MIDP for Palm OS implementation:
    http://java.sun.com/products/midp/palmOS.html
    For beginners who want to learn the J2ME technology, a good URL to start from is:
    http://java.sun.com/j2me/
    You'll need to understand the concepts of CLDC and MIDP specification if you are looking to write J2ME applications for the Palm OS device.

  • How can i find the jar file version in Solaris

    Hi,all.
    I just forget the java command by which i can know a jar file's version.I searched the jar command manual,unfortunately there is nothing helpful.
    Can anyone tell me what should i do?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure that there is any version information related to a JAR file. And if you look at the JAR classes in the API docs, there is nothing related to the version. There can be a version number in the MANIFEST though, but not related to the JAR itself.

  • How can I find the image file for iTunes album artwork?

    I know how to see the image, how to search for album artwork on the web, and how to save a new or different image. However, I want to be able to find specific images in Finder that are already connected with an album. I am not able to zero in on it. All I find is a collection of folders.

    These things accesible by control clicking (or right clicking with a multibutton mouse) are what are known as contextual menus and are incredibly powerful timesavers.  Try control clicking on things and see what you find. 

  • How can I see the hidden file and erase it?

    I had to make a file starting "." and had to put it on my FTP client. I made it by Text Edit and Microsoft word and save it. Since it is hidden file, I can't see on my Mac but when I use the FTP client and click post, the file listing was showed up and I can check as "Show Hidden file". Then I could post the files on the FTP client. However, since I don't need it on my computer, I'd like to erase it but can't find the files. How can I find the hidden files? Thank you.

    if you know the folder then navigate to that folder. Open the Terminal application in your Utiities folder and do the following::
    Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

    Depends on whatr you mean
    Deleting from your phone does not delete from anywhere else
    HOWEVER deleting from your Photo stream does delete from the Photostream so anyone looking at the PS from any device will no longer see the photo
    But if your Mac iPhoto is set to automatically impor tphotos form PS or is you have manually imported photos from PS then onc ethey are imported they are on your Mac and change to PS will not affect them

  • When I move a RAW file from IPhoto to my desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file across?

    When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?

    I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
    Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create  Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
    I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.
