Photoshop: 1GB - TIFF-file of 300 dpi too big?

I am starting to get grey hair with photoshop...
I have just bought a new quad core pc with 4 GB RAM, but
XP SP2 only accepts 3,25 GB. Furthermore I have installed Abode Suite
CS3 and did all the updates.
I have to merge 2 TIFF-file and make some corrections, after doing
this I generated a 300 dpi CMYK tiff-file of 1 GB. At this point PS
crashes and I can't open the file any more, it blocks when reaching +- 70%
I have selected to use the maximum memory via Photoshop preferences.
But is not possible anymore, the only thing I can do is to close photoshop via the task-manager...
Is there anyone who can help me with this matter?
I would be very greatful...
Thx,
Quincy

The others have hit on the system and set up issues but I'll a few more
notes.
1. If you're working on images this large, upgrade to Vista 64 bit and
add four more gigs of RAM.
2. What are you designing for that is creating images that large? For
the most part, I've found that people creating images that size are over
doing it with high resolutions using 300 ppi simply because they think
EVERYTHING that gets printed requires it.

How do I create a new document in Photoshop CC and have it 300 dpi?

How do I create a new document in Photoshop CC and have it 300 dpi? I am doing digital scrapbooking and need to have my layout in Photoshop 12 x 12 so it is a scrapbook page and 300 dpi and I hope this doesn't sound stupid but I don't even know what dpi means.
Thank you

File>New
Set preset to print or US Paper
(typing width and height values will change the preset to custom)
Set width to 12 inches
set height to 12 inches
set ppi to 300 (should already be this if you used the print preset)

I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

Hi Bill,
It sounds like your document has a lot of pages and/or images in it.
Instead of using the normal InDesign > Export command to create a PDF, you may be able to reduce the file size by printing to a PostScript file, then distilling it to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

Pdf file (pages template) is too big

I created a newsletter from the "Green Grocer" newsletter template on pages 08. It looks great. I have exported it as a pdf file, but now the file size is 18 MBs and too large for most people to read. It's only two pages. Help! The artwork was not that big to start with. Should I be saving it differently? Eventually I'd like to send it as a mailing with different content every month, so need to solve this.

Use a graphics program like GraphicConverter or Photoshop Elements to reduce the images before inserting them in your Pages document.
I don't notice much quality difference between the three options. I try to reduce the files as much as possible before posting on a web page or e-mailing. The odds are your recipient will be viewing the PDF on the computer rather than printing it. Printing would be more likely to need a higher resolution although I've never gotten any complaints.

Exporting files that aren't too big to be able to upload to the web

I just got a new iMac and want to buy Final Cut Studio 2 for Final Cut Pro 6. My only concern is everytime i've used FCP, the files are always very huge. In the GB range. thats fine when im putting that stuff on a dvd, but now I need to upload those things to the web.
Is there a way to export projects so they are a manageable size? I know quality will get lost but I want to know if I can export files that I will be able to upload and have people view before I spend a good amount of $$ buying it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I like my way the best... but only because I like my way the best.
First, understand that what you are dealing with is an art... compression.
BUT thankfully Apple sees that my way is the best TOO and gave it to you as a simple option in the export path. (wink)
SO...
File - Export - QT Conversion.
Then,
FORMAT: QuickTime Movie
USE: Broadband HIGH
Then, hit the OPTIONS button and then SIZE. If your sequence is 16:9 change the size to 420x270. If not, leave alone.
Hit done and export.
Should come in around 5 megs a minute and look great!
Good luck,

Backup files on PC becomes too big, how to delete files not needed and where to delete them?

I used iTune to manage iPhone and iPad. iTune will back up content of both devices. I found that recently the backup files become too many and used up a significant amount of my PC harddisk. How do I go about to delete old backup files to release harddisk space? Thanks.

Backups for iPods, iPhones, and iPads are fairly small in size... 60-70mb approximately.
I seriously doubt they are filling your hard drive or using a significant amount of space.
You can remove backups via iTunes
Edit > Preferences > Devices
Select the backup or backups and delete them.
Here's the Apple support article about backups: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

Browsing for layered PSD & TIFF files

I have a folder with about 700 Photoshop and TIFF files. I want to browse quickly through the whole group and find those files that have layers. I have looked in Bridge and in Lightroom. Neither of those shows the number of layers in a file.
I remember seeing this information once somewhere else but I can't find it now.
Thomas

The File Info in the Finder does provide such info but is not really convenient, I guess.
One can search the Layer-names in Finder, but I’m unsure how to use the existence of the Layers-property itself …
Edit: If the files all had a Background Layer and one searched the Contents instead of the Names it would be fairly easy to identify them.
This may be unnecessarily complicated but I would expect that a Script could be used to read the Files and retrieve the pertinent information (though that’s beyond me), so unless someone presents a more convenient solution you might try asking in the Photoshop Scripting Forum.

Aperture 3.6 Uploads to Flickr only at 72 dpi, not 300 dpi. Why?

Yesterday I upgraded to the new retina iMac (Yosemite 10.10) and updated Aperture to 3.6. (Previous iMac had not been updated with Yosemite.)
With previous setup, I was uploading to Flickr albums at 300 dpi.
With new setup, photos upload at 72 dpi, including files that previously uploaded at 300 dpi.
I've tried Preferences > Export > External Editor File Format > 300 dpi.
I've also done Presets > Image Exports > changed all formats/sizes to 300 dpi.
FWIW, I can export from Aperture into Lightroom and upload to Flickr from there at 240 dpi.
My question:
What setting am I missing in Aperture 3.6 so that photos upload to Flickr albums at 300 dpi again?

You should look at this thread Problem with Aperture 3.6 preset exports.
Seems Aperture has changed something since 3.6 that might be causing what you are seeing. The way Aperture is setting the JFIF x and y density settings has changed and they do not reflect the true DPI set on the file.
Don;t know if Flickr looks at those, something to keep in mind.
regards
<edit>
FWIW, I can export from Aperture into Lightroom and upload to Flickr from there at 240 dpi.
did you change the dpi setting in Lightroom? You should look the the image in Preview BEFORE you import into Lightroom. Look at the JFIF settings. Then look again AFTER you export from Lightroom. Did the JFIF settings change?

I upgraded because they said my files were too big but I've emailed files a lot prior. now after the upgrade I have a completed file to emial to someone, enter all the data, and there is no "SEND" button. how do i send these files and why isnt it just l

I have often sent pdf or other files with adobe by email with no problem.
this file it said was too big so I'd have to upgrade to send it. so I upgraded it. I followed all the instructions, email, etc, etc, and its' ready to go but there is no SEND button. how do I sent my file?

Are you still experiencing a problem with Adobe Send? We inadvertently introduced a problem earlier today (now fixed), but you reported your issue was last night.
Anyway, can you check again?

Score printout: files are too big for printout since Pro 7

Hi there,
I have a serious problem printing scores with Pro7: the files appear to be too big, so I can't print them. When I try to print a simple 1 page part, I get the error: "printer out of memory" and I have a HP Laserjet with 8 Mb memory. A PDF from a 3 page part made in Logic 6.3 is 102Kb, a PDF from the same 3 page part opened in Pro7 is 2,4Mb! Everything seems normal: page setup 100% etc.
When I open a song made in Pro7 with Logic 6.3, the files are much much smaller. Does anybody know what's wrong, now I can't print scores with Pro7!
Thanx, Peter

Hello Rohan,
Thanks for your effort. I created a PDF-file with a totally different printerdriver. The result is the same: I get a very large file. A 3 page part PDF-file is 2,4 Mb, also with the other fake driver. I'm used to send PDF-files of sheet music through the internet and files this big are no option.
And very annoying: I can't print out scores using Pro7!
Best regards,

Keynote - files too big to email/share, looking for PDF resolution solution

Has anyone worked out how to change a keynote presentation PDF resolution when preparing for sharing? The file I get is too big to email (6 photos gave me 55mb) as it appears to retain the input resolution of the embedded photos?

If using Acrobat 9 Go To Document>Reduce File size.
If Using Acrobat X or XI to tot he tools sidebar and use Optimize for Web Distribution.
If you do not want to fool witht he pdf in any way then download Adobe Send Now app and use their free service or subscribe for a year for a whopping $29.95.
The free version allows you to upload files upt to 500MB there may be limitis to how many files you can upload it sends an e-mail to the parties you want to download the files and they simply follow the link and it downloads.
The paid version allows you to upload files as large as 2 GB and gives you 20GB of storage. I immediately myself purchased the paid version.
If you hppen to upgrade to the cloud then you get the paid version free.

Export file too big! I need help.

I am trying to export a text book from pdf to word. How do I export a file if it is too big? Is there a way to export half? Or export certain pages? I am not computer savvy so this may have an easy solution.

If the PDF file you're starting with is larger than 100MB, ExportPDF won't be able to convert it.
To convert a file of that size, you'll need Adobe Acrobat. You'd need Acrobat to divide the file into smaller chunks for ExportPDF anyhow, so Acrobat is probably the best solution for you. You can learn more about Acrobat here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html

SQL server error log size is too big to handle

I am working with a large database on windows sql server 2008 R2 such that it has to run continuously 24x7 because of that it is not possible
to restart the server time to time. It is kind of monitoring system for big machines. Because of this SQL server error logs are growing too big even some times up to 60-70 GB at a limited sized hard drive. I can't delete them time to time manually. Can someone
please suggest a way using which I can stop creation of such error logs or recycle them after sometime. Most of the errors are of this kind --
Setting database option RECOVERY to simple for database db_name
P.S.- I have read limiting error logs to 6 etc. But that didn't help. It will be best if you could suggest some method to disable these logs.

Hi Mohit11,
According to your description, your SQL Server error logs are growing too big to handle at a limited sized hard drive, and you want to know how to stop the generation of such error logs or recycle them after sometime automatically without restarting the
SQL Server, right?
As others mentioned above, we may not be able to disable SQL server error log generation. However we can recycle the error logs automatically by running the
sp_cycle_errorlog on a fixed schedule (i.e. every two weeks) using SQL agent jobs so that the error logs will be recycled
automatically without restarting SQL Server.
And it is also very important for us to keep the error log files more readable. So we can increase the number of error logs a little more and run the sp_cycle_errorlog more frequently (i.e. daily), then each file will in a smaller size to be more readable
and we can recycle the log files automatically.
In addition, in order to avoid the size of all the log files growing into a too big size unexpected (sometime it may happen), we can run the following query in SQL Agent job to automatically delete all the old log files when the size of log files is larger
than some value we want to keep (i.e. 30GB):
--create a tample table to gather the information of error log files
CREATE TABLE #ErrorLog
Archieve INT,
Dt DATETIME,
FileSize INT
GO
INSERT INTO #ErrorLog
EXEC xp_enumerrorlogs
GO
--delete all the old log files if the size of all the log files is larger than 30GB
DECLARE @i int = 1;
DECLARE @Log_number int;
DECLARE @Log_Max_Size int = 30*1024; --here is the max size (M) of all the error log files we want to keep, change the value according to your requirement
DECLARE @SQLSTR VARCHAR(1000);
SET @Log_number = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #ErrorLog);
IF (SELECT COUNT(FileSize/1024/1024) FROM #ErrorLog) >= @Log_Max_Size
BEGIN
WHILE @i <= @Log_number
BEGIN
SET @SQLSTR = 'DEL C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG.' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,@i);
EXEC xp_cmdshell @SQLSTR;
SET @i =@i + 1;
END
END
DROP TABLE #ErrorLog

FCP compression too big

In FCP I exported a 80-minute sequence but using the Quick Time Movie selection and ended up with a 17.8GB .mov file. This is too big for iDVD.
My compressor does not work in FCP.
I must burn this disc. So if I am exporting a "Quick Time Conversion", Format QT Movie and under options, Video Settings, what do I choose? It defaults to H.264. There are lots of choices and I have no idea which one to select.
I really need help. This is the largest file I have ever made in five years. This first one that won't fit on a disc.
And my client wants the finished product!

At 80 minutes, it should fit on a single-layer DVD if you use the Pro or Best Quality settings in iDVD's Preferences. You may wish to search this forum and the FCP forum for the best export settings when the destination is iDVD.
DVD Studio Pro has a number of additional capabilities that can take advantage of FCP's power.
