Saving files larger than 2gb in Photoshop CC

I'm working with a large file for print and it's 2.07G with layers, and I'm getting the error when attempting to save the file that it's over the 2GB maximum. I'm not seeing .psb in the dropdown menu for saving large files. Any guidance on how to get around this and save the file? I checked Preferences: File Handling and don't see anything useful there...
Thanks!
Kirsten

You might try a reset before re installing: Press Cmd+Opt+Shift (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win) immediately after initiating Photoshop startup. Select "yes" when prompted. You have to be fast to get the keys pressed before Photoshop starts opening.
Please check back to let us know what works!

Cannot open a db file larger than 2GB

Hello,
I have an Oracle Express Edition 10g running on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 server.
I have an Oracle database file which is 2.1 GB in size. I am not able to open this file using the application or the Oracle sql developer. The error message that I get is:
ORA-01110: data file 5: '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/service_3_0.dbf'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
Linux Error: 13: Permission denied
I think this has to do with the fact that since it is not a 64-bit Linux but a 32-bit Linux, it does not support files larger than 2GB. What do you think I should do to tackle this problem?

ThayalanThat's interesting! I had no problems with opening files 32767MB in size on the very same 32 bit RH EL 4.0. How did you conclude that your file is too large, based on the error message which reads "Linux Error: 13: Permission denied"? Have you tried reading the manual page for the "open" system call and see when does it return EACCESS (error 13), found in /usr/include/asm-i386/errno.h. My man page for open says the following:
ERRORS
EACCES The requested access to the file is not allowed, or search per-
mission is denied for one of the directories in the path prefix
of pathname, or the file did not exist yet and write access to
the parent directory is not allowed. (See also path_resolution(7).)
What lead you to the conclusion that your file is too big? Do you have an access to a system administrator who knows how to use "strace"? If your system admin doesn't know how to use "strace", he too deserves waterboarding.

Dreamweaver cannot upload files larger than 2gb to remote site

I am uploading a set of large video files to a remote site at the University of Connecticut. I have no problem doing this through Cyberduck. I can also upload (put) files to the through Dreamweaver provided that the files are smaller than 2gb. Dreamweaver gives me the following type of error:
WorkArea\VideosUnclipped\100ASL\sara\signs\XX20140703a0789.MOV - error occurred - An HTTP error occurred - cannot put XX20140703a0789.MOV. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.

Since Cyberduck is successful, but Dreamweaver is not, this looks like a problem with Dreamweaver. I would prefer to use Dreamweaver because i am more comfortable with the interface.

Hello,
first, my knowledge is, the limit depends all on your hosting. FTP client is just the middleman. Please go into contact with your provider.
On the other hand it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed troubleshooting. To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

Can't display PDF file larger than 2Mb

Would like to ask if someone knows that any setting that would allow the PDF file larger than 2Mb be displayed within web browser IE 7, for some strange reasons, the PDF file will stop download at arround 800 some Kb, and I waited for almost 15 minutes with no further action.
Back ground info:- MS Vista Home Premium SP1, 2G RAM, over 60G available HDD space, IE Temp file size set to 100M
Appreciated for any help

Mike I have a similar problem with down loading PDF files larger that 3MB. I have three computers with Win XP, IE7 and 56K connection. I have tried to down load three different PDF files from the same source - 1.3MB 2.3MB and 5.3MB. The Computer with Reader 7.0 downloads and opens all files. The computers with Reader 8.1.2 and 9.0 downloads and opens the smaller files but stop at 3.2 MB on the larger file with an error message "The file is damaged and could not be repaired".
As fixes to the problem I have tried turning off any accelerators, installing and using Monzilla foxfire (then removed it since I had the same problem), increasing the cash size from 250MB to 1GB, Saving the file to the desktop rather than opening the file. I have not found useful help in Adobe Reader knowledge base.
Any suggestions?

Is there a correlation b/w Error -2048 and MPEG-4 files greater than 2GB?

I am having considerable difficulty in getting any of my DVD/movie files greater than 2GB to upload into my iTunes library. Anyone else having this difficulty? Through another problem, I discovered that iTunes ability to play video is based a thinned-down version of the Apple's QT engine, which prompted me to try and open these files using QT Pro; however, there too, I am getting a peculiar -2048 error suggesting it is not a movie file. The files were created using WONDERSHARE and I am experiencing difficulty with only the files that exceed 2GB in size.
For WONDERSHARE users, here are my relevant settings:
RESOLUTION: 720*400
CODEC: H.264
FPS: 30
KBPS: 2,000 or 2,500 (toggled in between both to manage file size for longer movies, like 3 hour Bollywood epics)
Any help on this matter woudl be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tabish

Jon,
Thanks for your response. I have inserted commentary below:
I am having
considerable difficulty in getting any of my
DVD/movie files greater than 2GB to upload into my
iTunes library.The 2 GB
restriction is usually on your source file -- the DVD
VOB -- or associated with Fat-32 file system. I have
H.264 files as large as 3.8 GB for SD content.
The file system is NTFS. I am not sure what you mean by DVD VOB.
I discovered that
iTunes ability to play video is based a thinned-down
version of the Apple's QT
engineiTunes can access the
entire QT structure. The iPod and TV players are
limited to a modest QT sub-set.
O.K. But, QT still cannot open the file. If the files are corrupt, how come they only become corrupt at 2+ GB.
however, there too, I
am getting a peculiar -2048 error suggesting it is
not a movie file.If issued by an
Apple application, this error code usually equates to
"noMovieFound" at the referenced location. This could
be a path error or refer to a movie interrupt during
conversion (as when your 2 GB plus source file
terminates prematurely) and the target file is not
closed properly (and is likely not recognized as a
valid QT file).
CODEC:
H.264In which profile?
Again, not sure what you mean by "profile."

808 Pureview - Playing mkv files larger that 2GB

I have found that mkv video files I have which are larger than 2GB will not play on my new 808. They play absolutely fine on the N8. I have tried with both Fat32 and exFat file systems on my 64GB microSD. Anything smaller than 2GB is fine. Anyone else found this? Is this a problem with the video player in FP1?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@Roveel
Fat32 file system only supports file size up to 4GB, have you tried a mkv which is between 2gb and 4gb?
Also your micro SD card is most likely formatted in fat32. To have files larger than 4gb please re-format your memory card to use NTFS which you can do on a P.C

Large file handling tips Help for illustrator file larger than 3 gb

Can anyone provide advice for large file handling tips. Help for illustrator file larger than 3 gb ie how often, when, and should I clear the clipboard? are here other tips?
Thanks,
Gavin

My key tip is to EXPECT corruption. Keep every save separately so you can go back before damage (which might not be visible). Don't just keep a single old file or rely on daily backups.

PS Touch needs a warning message when importing files larger than 2048x2048 max resolution

I opened 6500x5000 px files into PS Touch in iPad for some minor retouching. PS Touch - without notification - reduced the images to fit within 2048 x 2048 px. It happily let me open these files, work on them and save and never let me know it was reducing the file size, rendering all the work I did utterly useless since 2048x2048 is far too small for print res for these files.
PS Touch needs a notification or warning when importing files larger than the app's max resolution. Resizing files without notification is just asinine.

How do i get files larger than 2 gigs on a usb drive and still be able to use on a mac and pc?

how do i get files larger than 2 gigs on a usb drive and still be able to use on a mac and pc?

You can format the drive using ExFAT or you can format the drive NTFS then use third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to it: NTFS 11.2.443.

Aperture exports jpeg files larger than original RAW files

Can anyone tell me why a RAW file (10.6mb), when exported as a jpeg (10.8mb) from Aperture ends up larger than the original RAW file. The same RAW file when opened and then saved as a jpeg (6.4mb) in Photoshop is a lot smaller. The photo dimensions and resolution are the same in both saved files (34.5mb open file 300dpi 4256 x 2831 pix). I have tried this on several photos, all with similar results. For information I am saving the photos in both Photoshop and Aperture at 300dpi, original size and at a quality setting of 12. In these examples/tests I have done no work to the photos, obviously the file sizes increase after work has been carried out on the photos (in both Ps & Aperture)
Almost doubling the size of saved jpegs has a massive implication on my library and may be one reason to consider Adobe Lightroom as this gives similar jpeg file sizes as Photoshop, i.e. almost half the size of the original RAW file
Reducing the quality setting on saved jpegs is an obvious way to reduce file size, but not answering the question of the considerable discrepancy when saving to the same quality in different software
Is this a feature of Aperture and nothing can be done about it ? I would prefer to use Aperture but cannot cope with the large jpeg sizes !
Any comments would be much appreciated - thank you
Nick

Think you might be right Allen - The 12 quality saved jpegs seem to be pretty high quality, closer to the original than maybe the files saved in Ps at quality 12. I have just run an identical set of processing actions on all the files in Photoshop and the jpegs previously saved in Aperture at 12, 11 and even 8 quality settings seem to be better than the same files saved at 12 in Ps
Bizarrely the file size drops from 10.6mb at quality setting 12 in Aperture, to 3.2mb when saved just one notch down at quality setting 11 in Aperture. That is a massive drop, esp considering the next one down, saving at quality 10 results in a 2.8mb file
rw just ran some checks and tests on the file export settings and file sizes in Aperture, on a file I sent him, and we get the same results. So at least my version of Aperture is not up the wall !!
Would be useful to have the explanations from Apple as to the vast variance in settings and file sizes, but I guess we will just have to keep guessing - and buying more and more hard drives for all the large files
I am considering keeping the RAW originals in future, and I suppose in this case I need only save smaller jpegs, and issue at whatever size they are needed at the time - just needs a bit of planning to look after an ever increasing collection, which is about to have two sets of images added at a time now. Added to the already amassed 80 000 images at last count !)
Thanks

Curve 8520 can't download files larger than 3MB

I have having trouble downloading files that are larger than 3MB be it music files,PDF files or applications.I need help.

Hello Chriowen
Welcome to the Community
Please make sure you have a strong and consistent coverage for you to be able to download large files completely. I would suggest connecting to a WiFi network because 2G mobile data coverage is not really adviseable for downloading. Or probably use a PC instead.
