Increase size after saving

Hi! Taking a PSD file, why does it increase in size after every save also after having done changes to it?
For example if I open a PSD file and i hide a layer and after I show it, when I go to save the file, it will be bigger in size than original. The same with the function "save as...".
Is there an option to "clean" an existing PSD file, reducing it's size after several saves?
Thank you in advance

What? ??? !!! That easily takes the prize for most idiotic, incompetent software localization ever!
Levels should have been called strati, not livelli.
Thank you, Pierre. Never in a million years could I have figured out or even imagine such incompetence.
I guess Adobe hired a semi-literate Sicilian immigrant fresh off the boat for the localization into Italian.

Why is same file different sizes after saving for web?

I have files that I save in PSCS3, under, "Save for Web & Devices" and I indicate under "optimize to file size" that they should be no larger than 60K. After item is saved and I go to "Get info", it says the file is 60K. Yet when I open the file in PS and go to Image Size, it says 467K. Why the discrepancy? Thanks for your feedback!

One is the compressed file size on disk (60K). The other is the uncompressed image size (369 pixels x 432 pixels x 8 bits per channel x 3 channels / 8 bits per byte / 1024, since K really is 1024, not 1000).

A3 library has increased size after upgrade

Hi ,
After I did an upgrade to A3 my library has really increased the size from 80gb to 320gb, can someone please help me on this?
is there something I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance.

As mentioned down-thread, let Aperture run for four or five days. On your MPB that means screen open, plugged in, Aperture loaded, and no auto-sleep. Make Aperture the current application before going to bed and let it run all night.
If you still are having problems, go through the usual Aperture first-aid:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=26%26se ction=10%26tasks=true
You could repair and rebuild you Library first. No harm done that way. Rebuilding will take several (many?) hours.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Adobe Interactive Form PDF doubles in size after saving

Hi all,
We have a interactive form, and after generation it's about 925 kB (when saving).
Now, when you change a single field (add some input or something), and then saving, the file size almost doubles to 1778 kB.
Ofcourse, we would rather have a smaller PDF size.
Does anybody else have this problem and/or knows what causes this ?
I think it's a general problem, but still would be nice if I could explain what is causing it...
Thanks in advance !
L.

Here's one way I could think of doing it. Not sure if it's the most efficient. There may be some function modules out there....
You write a small program to print an Adobe form from the RFC.
Before you call Job open (CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
), set the following parameters of
sfpoutputparams.
Set the outputparamaters to suppress the dialog
utputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
Set to print to a dummy printer
outputparams-dest = 'LP01'.
Set a spool request
outputparams-REQNEW = 'X'.
Then you can call a program like rstxpdft4 to download the PDF file.

Animation size larger than actual image size after saving as gif?

Hi,
I just created an animation (600x600 pixel) and saved it as gif. Everything seems fine except the grainy quality and the fact that it is nearly twice as large as my actual image size (100%) shown on photoshop. I don't mind the grainy quality but the large size is disturbing... Anyone know why or how to fix this problem?
Any help will be appreciated as it's an anniversary gift and I'm stuck on the last step running out of time . Thanks in advance!

The 300GB partition is the partition I am booting off of, and the one I was writing about. Disk0s1 is the EFI partition, 210MB. The other Internal hard drive is the core storage physical volume, already mounted, mounted in the image. Recovery HD is the 650MB system recovery partition.
I rebooted to the recovery partition and used Disk Utility to verify the volume, it said everything checked out alright.
In disk utility, the top entry has this data
     Name :     Internal Hard Drive     Capacity :     319.21 GB (319,213,174,784 Bytes)
     Type :     Logical Volume Group     Available :     16.8 MB (16,777,216 Bytes)
     Disk Status :     Online     Used :     319.2 GB (319,196,397,568 Bytes)
However the other entry, right below it has this
     Mount Point :     /     Capacity :     318.88 GB (318,877,626,368 Bytes)
     Format :     Encrypted Logical Partition     Available :     202.18 GB (202,175,160,320 Bytes)
     Owners Enabled :     Yes     Used :     116.7 GB (116,702,466,048 Bytes)
     Number of Folders :     241,519     Number of Files :     1,246,454
So I guess the reboot fixed my problem, df -h now shows 37% used, but the logical vomume group still shows only 16MB free. Anyways, things seem to be working now.

Saving images with quality 12 increases size. Why?

A minutely modifyed image saved with quality of 10 maintained its original size (more or less), but saving with a quality of 12 increases size.
I would like to know why?
I'd appreciate your comments.

Because that's how .jpg works. Sizes of less than 10 usually compress your files somewhat, lower numbers resulting in smaller file sizes and more compression, with a corresponding loss of quality. Sizes greater than 10 also use the .jpg compression algorithm, but they choose less compression, and so two pixels that may have been compressed together at compression 10 may now be separated at compression 11 or 12, resulting in a larger file. (But that doesn't imply an increase in the quality, even at 12 there is still a slight decrease in quality in that the .jpg saved version still doesn't exactly represent what you saw on the screen)
The amount of modification to the photo doesn't really matter in how much the space the .jpg compression takes up.

Image size isn't maintained after saving

I'm having some real issues here, I'm trying to send some photography work to print. I'm making the image size for the full print size, put my photograph in there and resize it to printer specifications. Crop the remainder of the image. After I save it as a new jpg and I open that jpg, it's right back to the original image size... it's not maintaing the measurements I specified. I've never had this issue until I got CS5, is there some new feature I'm totally missing here or what?

If the pixel dimensions before and after saving don't change, you're looking at perfectly normal, expected behavior.
You were told that in post #1:
Is the number of pixels changing, or just the resolution?
If the latter, the print resolution is not saved in JPEG files.
I repeat: the print resolution is NOT saved in JPEG files.
It does not behoove me to inquire into why someone who "thinks in print terms" is dealing with JPEGs in the first place.

Front Panel objects do not stay in place after saving, closing, and reopening the VI.

I have been working with a couple of versions of a main VI. The original VI was given to me so that I could add additional functionalities to it. I had been designing the front panel of the latest version of the VI on a Dell laptop running Windows 7 and LabView 2011 SP1 using a monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080. My booleans, numerics, and plots on the front panel had always stayed in place after saving, closing, and reopening the VI. Once in the field, I connected my laptop to a cRIO9073 and used my laptop screen with a resolution of 1366x768 to operate the VI. I made some changes to the VI, saved it, and reopened it. This time I noticed that the front panel objects had become overlapped, resized, and generally rearranged. I tried fixing the objects but I noticed that they reverted back to the incorrect positions after saving and reopening the VI. I was successful in keeping the objects in position a couple of times, but when I would open the VI at a later time, the objects were again rearranged. This is happening on both my monitor and laptop screen. The original version of the VI, however, does not behave this way and I have opened it on both my monitor and laptop screen. In this version, the front panel objects always stay in place. Both VI's have the same window size properties. Could I have corrupted the latest version of my VI somehow? Below are screenshots of the front panels of both VI's.

Hi Miguel,
It is possible to programmatically set or change the position of front panel objects. (for example: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4D0DA06B43195B3F862572F3000AF2D3?OpenDocument) However, if you haven’t intentionally done that, it seems unlikely that it is the problem.
Have you tried copying the entire block diagram in to a new VI to see if the problem persists? While it is unlikely, you are right that it is possible for VIs to become corrupted. I’ve never heard of a situation like this except in the situation where the settings Tom had you check have been changed. Here is some information about those settings:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7567EF257B9CFDF986256F630073228F?OpenDocument
Since there was no rearrangement when you copied the front panel to a new VI, you might try copying the block diagram a little bit at a time to see if there is some particular part of it that creates the problem somehow.

After saved to computer, Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

JPG images smaller after saving out of Safari

Maybe I am missing some totally basic knowledge about how Mac OS X handles images or Safari on Mac OS X is very different in this regard as compared to other browsers/systems:
I open a picture in Safari and it says in the title that this image has a size of 1271x1526 pixels. Now I want to save that picture by right-clicking into it and then left-clicking on the option "save image to desktop". That it does, all is well so far, but when I later open that image with preview it's much smaller than it was before. So I used a third-party image browser (CocoViewX) and there I get the full details, the image in the jpg file now has a size of only 153x184 pixels.
If, instead, I click copy in the context menu in Safari and then paste in CocoViewX and export from there in the same format (jpg), the image is full-size, 1271x1526 pixels, again.
What is this? Am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting I have to change so I can save the picture in full size right out of Safari without having to copy and paste via another program?
Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
MacMini and also a PC and an iBook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Dear scapesuiter,
thank you for your input, I wish it were that simple, but this problem occurs after I click the thumbnail and have the complete image in a new browser window. I see the whole image (even have to scroll because it's bigger than my screen) and right in that large image I right-click ...
It almost seems as if Mac OS X (or Safari) is automatically reducing the image size whilst saving it. But in Mac OS X this also doesn't seem to be a kind of thumbnail or so, I double-click the image in the Finder and then I see it in preview and when I click "original size" it's much smaller than my screen as opposed to before saving it from Safari (see above).
Again, thanks anyway, can you think of another reason why "it" might do this?

Lines are appearing after saving a psd in cc 2014

Hello,
I've been having some issues when saving psd's in CC 2014. After saving an image lines tend to appear, and in one case actually added to a mask I was creating. I have image examples below of what has been happening. One last note is that it seems that this issue happens sporadically. If it was on every psd I saved I would have a bit more of a solid thought as to what was wrong, but it just kinda does it whenever it feels like it. I have since restarted my computer, but the issue still is there.
This image shows when not only did the lines appear, but also they added to my mask I was creating.
This image is to show that the lines appear randomly sometimes now when viewing images and actually get saved into the document.
Until I can figure out what is happening I'm switching back to CC for awhile. Any help would be great.

Ok, I had a bit of time to further test this today -- and it looks like the "Cache Tile Size" settings is the culprit for me. The default 128k setup is creating the lines artefact while working on larger files (something around 1500x1500 pix files and up). Setting a tile size of 132k or higher, I was able to re-open files and the artefacts are gone. Putting back the 128k, opening an offending file and I have the bug. I'm able to reproduce it.
So the Cache Tile Size fixes it. One note : if I happen to export a file (ex: jpeg), the lines artefacts are "baked" into the artwork. However saving a PSD file with the artefact, and open it after changing the tile size makes the artefacts go away.
What's weird is that I get this bug now only if the "Use Graphics Processor" is unchecked. But the first time around, it was checked as it looks like it's the default upon Photoshop installed. Now I can switch it back, put the 128K tile size, and I'm ok. Again, it's not an extensive test since I did 20 minutes of fiddling with various files. I'll update later on if the bug's back since I'll use CC 2014 from now on.
Also note that the first time around, I was able to get the artefacts on much smaller files, but these we're smart objects pasted from Illustrator. This looks fixed now. It might be the way PS handles caching for vector objects.
So play with these settings, don't forget to close PS on each Performance settings change. Let us know if it fixes it.

Layers lost after saving as psd

I am having trouble with losing all my layers after saving. I have read many posts hoping to find some direction with no success. I tried rebuilding the entire project and only saving as a psd, still no success. I have made sure to check the layers box. And every time I open it on my Mac, the layers are still intact. However, my programmer and everyone else I send it to- end up with one merged background layer. Does anyone happen to know what may be the reason for this? I appreciate any help/ discussion.

I believe I have solved it. And the above mentioned was partially correct. I was sending it through email, and it was being compressed to 'medium size' rather than actual size. This was rendering the file uneditable w/in Ps. I probably should have figured this out sooner, but I guess it happens. Nevertheless, thanks for the help.
Attached is a thread to a similar problem/ solution.

Having problem with text after saving...

It looks fine while in edit mode. All text is sharp and clear. After saving, all text plays back blurry and pixelated. Tried different fonts, sizes, colors, to no avail.
Thanks for you help.

This is a common feature of smartphone browsers in which desktop sites are text inflated to make the main body of text larger. This tends to break down in forums or sites that provide short summaries of articles.
You can disable or change the inflation levels in the Firefox for Android settings.
* With Firefox open
* Press the phone's menu button or the three dot button in the upper right
* Select settings (you might need to scroll the menu or select more)
* Select Display
* Select Text Size
* Press the small 'A' till the text does not shrink any more
* Press set
Future pages will not be inflated.

Illustrator cc image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background

as the title states; image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background...
i created a logo in adobe illustrator cc and i wanted to saved it for web in order to be able to copy and paste the logo where ever I wanted but the image looks extremely pixelated after saving as an png, and for web. Is there a solution for this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!!
Jon

What DPI did you save as:
You should always save as 300dpi, then you can always reduce the size as needed.
Another thing, don't copy and paste, that always causes that Problem.
In Acrobat you should open Tools Menu click on Content Editing the Add Image.
Then click on image and choose Properties and place where you want and size as you desire.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.
