Photoshop file size

I am editing a DVCPRO 16x9 sequence. What size or dimensions should the Photoshop files (photos and graphics) be? My thought is 720 x 486 at 125 resolution. Any help would be great.

Well, there's a coupla routes you can go...
You're right that the video clips are all 720x480 with wide pixels, so you can do gfx that way and stretch them to fit (with the distort pane of the motion panel in the viewer), or you can use 853x480 so you can compose in a widescreen format while in PhotoShop...

  • Photoshop file size Discrepancy

    Hey Guys.
    I have a photoshop file which while editing states what I believe is the flat/layered file sizes down the bottom left of the screen of 116.7M/255.4M.
    But when I save the file Finder shows the file size as being 1.53GB.
    Is this normal? What am I missing? See below screen grab

    The size in Photoshop is pretty accurate.
    But it has nothing to do with file size.
    Please read the documentation again.
    Files are compressed, and different file formats will compress differently, and the amount of compression is very much related to the image content.
    That's why Photoshop never displays file sizes except for estimates in the JPEG and the Save For Web dialogs.
    The sizes displayed in Photoshop's status bar and info palette are the size of the document in memory, or the flattened size of the image (uncompressed).

  • Why Such a Huge Photoshop File Size Increase When Saving In CC from other versions?

    Hello,
    I have limited experience in Photoshop, and am working with a file with two other people.  We are creating web comic pages.  The line artist and colorist are both using CS 6.  I have CC.  The file I receive from them is around 238MB.  If I open it and make even the slightest edit, Photoshop will not save it as it warns that the file size is too large (greater than 2GB!).  How does this happen?  Is it something in my preferences that causes 10x increase in file size?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for replying. First I didn't have this problem in the beginning. I do the same in CS5 and I can do it with no problem.

  • Difference in file size in photoshop and bridge

    when I save an image in photoshop (file size 26mb) it  shows as a 70.7 mb in bridge or window explorer. Why?

    Lets take a look at the Image Sise Dialog. Nothing in it indicates anything about any file size.  One number in it I have never been able t figure exactly how Adobe come up with and the is Pixel Dimensions Number all others I understand.
    Below is a screen capture of the dialog shows 91.4M ???
    3264x4896 is the 3:2 my Cannon 1D4 16MP the first calculator is
    3264x4896=15980544 I can by the camera sensor is 16.1 MP but only delivers an image 15.98MP
    Its 16bit color so each pixel has 3 16bit values for  RGB 6 bytes per pixel
    15980544x6=95883264 bytes 95.9M not 91.4M
    If 91.4 is in hex M  1028 is 1K so 1M 1028000 bytes is 1M
    91.4x1028000=93959200 still short of the 95883264 bytes required so I do not how Adobe come up with the 91.4M #
    Any way 3264x4896 is canvas size.  Has nothing to to with file size.
    Photoshop also supports layers and layers can be canvas size or larger then canvas size as well as smaller then canvas.
    Additionally layers can contain embedded object and object could contain a layer file like a placed PSD image.
    The center section Document Size is the documents Print here you see the document currentle has a 240DPI resolution
    3264pixel width / 240 dpi = 13.6"
    4896pixel height / 240 dpi = 20.4"
    The bottom section is the control section.  With resample NOT checked the top can not be changed Pixel Dimensions will not be changed nor would File size. And all three values in print size are linked. You change one value and Photoshop will chage the other two for you. With resample NOT checked the other controls are not settable. Pixel Dimensions are not change so no interpolation and no aspect ratio change.
    With Resample checked Constrain Proportions will link width and height to preserv the current aspect ratio and not distort the image.
    When you save a document file format is very important layered flat compression all play a roll. It very hard to even guess what the file size will be.

  • Photoshop image size vs Bridge

    A very basic question that I've not been able to find the answer to. My Raw images come up in Bridge at around 20-25 MB, 16 bit. When I open them in Photoshop they all seem to have identical Pixel sizes at 120.3 M and 5616 x 3744 pixels (ie total 21 MPixels) even when my images in Bridge are all slightly different sizes depending on content. What exactly is the 120.3 M if it isn't Bytes or Pixels and why is it constant for a particular camera? It obviously relates to bits and bytes because it goes down to 60.2 for 8 bit images. When I worked with jpegs I thought the fact that the Photoshop file size was larger was related to the compression of the closed file, but that's clearly not the case with CR2 files. Please help - I really want to understand this!

    When sending pictures to libraries it is the flattened uncompressed size they want.
    Documents can be altered to the required size using a script IE:-
    var SizeOfFile = prompt("Please Enter Size In Megabytes",48)
    if (SizeOfFile > 0) resizeToMB( SizeOfFile );
    function resizeToMB( size_in_MB ) {
      var current_units = preferences.rulerUnits;
      preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
      var width_pixels = activeDocument.width;
      var height_pixels = activeDocument.height;
      var channel_count = activeDocument.channels.length;
      var final_size = ( 1024 * 1024 * size_in_MB ) / channel_count;
      var image_bytes = width_pixels * height_pixels;
      var image_scale = Math.sqrt( final_size/ image_bytes );
      var final_width = width_pixels * image_scale;
      var final_height = height_pixels * image_scale;
      var final_dpi = activeDocument.resolution;
      if ( image_scale > 1 ) {
        activeDocument.resizeImage( final_width, final_height, final_dpi, ResampleMethod.BICUBICSMOOTHER );
    } else {
        activeDocument.resizeImage( final_width, final_height, final_dpi, ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER );
      preferences.rulerUnits = current_units;

    What do you mean by "Elements"?
    Elements in a flat image or Layers?
    Could you please post a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible?

  • Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • File size different in Bridge CS3 and Photoshop

    I'm using PS CS3 and Bridge CS3 on a Macbook Pro. I have about 40 files that are about 50MB when opened in PS. In Bridge, under the thumbnails, the file size is pretty close to that, sometimes the exact amount, sometimes off by a couple/few MBs. I've been told this is due to some compression "on the disk" by Bridge. All the files are PSDs, by the way, and they are all flattened.
    What I don't understand is why just a *few* files that are 50MB in PS are showing up MUCH smaller in Bridge; e.g., 36MB. If it's due to compression, why would Bridge compress just a few files so much?
    I'm wondering if this has to do with the cached thumbnails, and maybe the thumbnails aren't showing the latest version (with accurate size) of the file. I don't know much about the cache, and I'm afraid to "purge the cache" without knowing anything about it. Also, if it has to do with preferences, I'm don't really know about that, either.

    Bridge does not compress any files whatsoever. Bridge is not an image editor, it's nothing but a browser that hands the files to their respective applications. Bridge does not "open" or "save" files, it can't compress them in any shape or form.
    What you are seeing is the difference between the opened, uncompressed file in RAM and the space the file occupies on disk once
    Photoshop has saved and compressed it.
    The Bridge cache has nothing to do with any of this.

  • I have been given a 28 page Pdf and have been asked to optimize the item to reduce the file size. Can this be done in Photoshop Elements? if so how?

    I am using a Mac and just bought Photoshop Elements 13. I have been given a 28 page Pdf and have been asked to optimize the item to reduce the file size. Can this be done in Photoshop Elements? if so how?

    No the pages will open as separate documents in Expert Mode. You really need Acrobat or possibly you could copy and paste the contents into MS word. Then re-save as PDF.

  • Photo File Size and Photoshop processing

    On  previous discussion, Steve Grisetti noted that problems with burning are sometimes associated with photo file size.  The post stated that Photoshop Elements has a batch processing selection that can resize photos all at once.  I when to Photoshop, selected process multiple file, selected source, save in same as source, and resize images 1000.  When I viewed my photos after, about 50 of my photos were now duplicates of other photos For example, I put all my pictures in timeline order prior to doing my video.  If I found a NEW photo after I had already scanned and named the photos, I would place the NEW photo in the picture folder by adjusting accordingly:  1.jpg, 2.jpg 3.1.jpg 3.jpg The 3.1.jpg would be the NEW photo.  Photoshop replaced 3.1jpg with the picture in 3jpg.  Does anyone know how to restore my photos back to the original "3.1jpg"?  The backup is not accessible at this time.

    If I understand you correctly you have been using the renaming feature and the parameters you used caused file1 to be renamed to a pre-existing filename (file2). If this is so then you probably have lost the original file2. An undelete utility may help (try Piriform Recuva).
    For the future when using batch conversion it is good practice to select a new folder for the outputted files.
    It is also good practice to burn all image originals to a CD or DVD immediately after importing from your camera. This way you can always recover originals.
    Here are a couple of screenshots, the first from Elements Organizer and the second from Photoshop Elements. Which one did you use and what parameters did you enter?

  • 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 - Photoshop With LR or Bridge

    When I open files from LR (Ctrl-E) in Photoshop, LR immediately creates a .tiff file approximately 5 times the size of the original DNG. Then it quadruples in size again when it is converted into a Smart Object.
    Here is what I did:
    From LR Ctrl-E (ProPhoto,.tiff,16-bit). In PS Convert to Smart Object. Save File and the size went from 9.73mb to 175.6mb.
    From Bridge, double click on the same photo. In ACR choose Open Object. In PS Convert to Smart Object. Save File and the size went from 9.73mb to 95.1mb.
    What is going on here? Is there some benefit to having files twice as big for what appears to be the same result in the image?

    I checked, both are 16-bit.
    It appears that an unflattened image processed from LR is much larger than when the same image is processed through Bridge. For example, a 9.5mb DNG becomes a 216.5mb image after Curves, Levels, and Unsharp Mask when processed as a Smart Object in PS. The same file processed with the same adjustments through Bridge is 139.4mb.
    Once the image is flattened, there is little difference in file size whether processed in LR or PS.
    For my work flow, it seems appropriate to commit to the adjustments, flatten, reduce the image size, and convert to 8-bit. The 216.5mb file then becomes a 5mb file. For the rare occasion that I want to reprocess a file, I just have to do it all over again starting from the DNG. This defeats the main benefit of being able to tweak the adjustments using Smart Objects, but my storage demands are greatly reduced.
    For those really rare times when I have a large investment of time adjusting an image, it makes sense to process is through Bridge and save the large file. However, I can see no benefit to opening such an image from LR and ending up with a file twice the size.

  • [Photoshop CS5] Optimize to File Size working not correctly.

    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement: Optimize to File Size working not correctly.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Open any photo.
    2. Draw a slice
    3. Save For Web, choose Optimize to File Size, type 10KB (Current Slice).
    4. Save "selected slices" only
    Results: File result larger than expect (over 10KB)
    Expected results: <=10KB filesize.
    I uninstalled whole Adobe CS5 Master Collection (Trial) & tried to reproduce the bug in Photoshop CS4, but it was not happened, it's ok on CS4.
    Finally, Windows 7 is not reason, it's a bug of Photoshop CS5. Please fix, I don't want to buy a bugged software.
    I really need the feature "Optimize to File Size" in my works.
    P.S: I tested on 4 PCs, and the results is the same.

  • 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.
