When I look at a file in Windows Explorer or in My Computer, its size might be 2 or 3 megs. but the moment I open this file in Photoshop its size balloons to 15 to 20 megs. As least that's what it says when i look at the image via Image-->Image Size. What causes the file to more than quadruple in size just by opening it?
View 1 RepliesIs there a trick to getting hair collisions to work properly with the growth object? In live or precomputed I am getting hairs penetrating the growth object's mesh.
I have searched and it looks like its possible but I can't quite get it working here from the Max manual alone.
Also.. what the heck is the "toggle collision" button in the style rollout?
Is it supposed to toggle the collision detection for the selected guides?
Is there a plugin that would expand a selected area, so as to create an outline around the object? Like Select > Shrink or Select > Grow in GIMP.
I just don't like having to open GIMP just to do that every time, I'd like to have it right in PDN.
I have worked on After Effects and recently started doing my Motion Graphics work in MAYA. I made some models using the Polygonal Mesh primitive objects for logos etc etc.
I was wondering if I can animate the growth of an object as though it is being formed formed in 3D space. I tried doing this by taking it in AE but it becomes a Flat image and I loose the z dimension, thus I can only move the mask in X & Y axis.
If there are any tools to animate or any Keywords that I can explore to make this job feasible. I do not want to pull down the transparency and animate it as then it makes the entire object disappear or visible at the same time.
is there a function in photoshop cs3 that will reduce the file size of a photo without affecting the physical size of it, i know macromedia fireworks can but thats no help to me unfortunately...

View 3 Replies View RelatedCan someone please explain to me about file sizes and image dimensions. I have to put together a collage which is 165mm high by 258mm wide. If I click file new and choose default resolution (72) then the file size is ok, if I type in 300 dpi the image becomes huge.
If i chosse 300 dpi then the images I was going to use seem tiny on such a vast workspace - Im confused why does the canvas become so large when changing resolution?
 When I save a file to jpeg the image size in photoshop remains the same as it was as a tiff file BUT according to the information that comes up in windows properties the file is much smaller (300k vs 2.9mg).  Can you advise me which is the correct file size?  If the correct size is the one showing in windows (300K) does mean that the file compressed in JPG and lost a lot of information?
 and if this is the case how can I prevent that from happening and still save the file as a JPG?  [ I would like the image to remain the size photoshop shows it to be] . Thank you very much.

My picture’s original size was 108.2 MB in tiff. After I developed my photo in Lightroom and exported the new image, the file decrease to 50MB in tiff. Why did Lightroom decrease the file size to more than half the original size? Is there a way to increase the exportation file size to that I may develop a large size print?
View 7 Replies View RelatedBackground info:
We got several image files every 2 weeks which should be edited and mainly reduced in size for web purpose. This work needs 1 work day for one man/woman to do, because he/she has to open the file save for web and then set the quality to a value were the file is nearly about 150-200 KB in size.
The images are different, some have few colors, some have a lot of colors and there are also different in resolution. But they should not be reduced in resolution, only in quality. All other specs of the image should be kept

View 4 Replies View Relatedam having an Issue with CS6 when saving files. When saving a file using the 'Save' option (not 'Save As') the file is not staying at the size of the artboard as it should, it is however being aurtomatically cropped down to the actual artwork size. This is causing issues with the Process we work with as we need the file to stay at the artboard size.If I click 'Save As' and change the Adobe PDF Preset to 'Press Quality' then this works, however this means that every file we save(which is quite alot in a day) means we have to go through the 'Save As' option and manually change each save.why this has suddenly started to happen with our Illustrators and do you know how to fix this so that it stays at the Artboard size when 'Save' is used?
View 17 Replies View RelatedSo, I'm trying to create a repeat pattern of a Balloon illustration I've done in Adobe Illustrator. I've got the singular file (balloon.ai), which weighs in at around 700MB.
Now I'm trying to create the repeat of this pattern on a separate Artboard which will repeat these balloons, 30 balloons per repeat square to be precise.
What would be the best way to import these separate balloons into the repeat square once (as they're the same file) without affecting the weight of the file and performance of Illustrator?
So, in essence, is there a way to import that balloon.ai file and only have it use up 700MB on the page rather than 30x700MB by the time I've placed 30 balloons?
I can't rasterize the files as the printer needs the raw file.
I designed artwork for a large banner (84" x 32") so my AI artboard is that large. As you can imagine, with all the text and graphics I used, this file size is 22.8 MB. I need to email this art to the printer, but the file size is too large to email. How do i go about reducing the file size in AI so it still maintains large format print resolution? Will saving to a PDF lose the print quality?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have done a lot of editing with VideoStudio Pro on current system but never ran into somthing like this:
I have a 2.7G file that I pulled from my DVR (mpg). Plays well on my ThinkPad but when I try to load it into VideoStudio Pro X3 (13.6.2.69) the software stops responding (get the "not responding" message) and I have to end the process.
I updated to SP3, no luck. Uninstalled and reinstalled VideoStudio, no luck. Search Corel and various boards and found nothing about file size being an issue. Even adjusted virtual memory settings.
I have trouble with file size, example I design a poster say 120mb and open existing poster 200mb so that i can copy certain images and text from it and even though I delete the second poster before the saving the new poster but the file size becomes 320mb?
So I thought there was something worng with my machine i.e a virus.
I repeated the example above and removed all the images and all background and left the text on the poster and save the final poster with text only but the file size is same i.e. 320mb?
I changed one.TIFF file (300dpi, 1024X1332) to .jpg files of four different dpi. But when I checked the four result jpg files, I found out that they are all in same file size and quality.( I also have checked the property of the files in the Windows.)
I think more DPI means more data and more file size.
I use Photoshop CS 5.1(64bit, WINDOWS) - which is part of my Adobe Master Collection CS5.5.
TIFF(300dpi, 1024X1332) ->
1. JPG(72dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB2. JPG(108dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB3. JPG(144dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB4. JPG(600dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
I tested a few times more with different files. and same result comes out.(same file size for different dpi)
Why my tif file sizes seem to be substantially (around 50-100Mb) larger in CS6 compared to CS4? Im talking flattened files 8bit. What used to be around 70mb is now between 150 and 220.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWorking on a collage and have a relatively scall document, 6"x10" at 300dpi and used the Place command to add images and arrange and have 14 layers. The images were resized to fit using the Transform scale too. Was watching the document size at the lower left of the document window and it showed that the Doc was 34.3 M/178 M. Looked good so I went to save the beast as a PSD. At 75% of the save it threw an error message saying the document was greater than 2GB in size.
why did the doc size show otherwise. So ended up saving as a PSB whic worked. But the responsiveness of my system went to hell until I shut down Photoshop. I mean it was almost unresponsive. Starting Photoshop again, opening the PSB and making a few changes and my system was flying again. So maybe processing the PSD then throwing the error managed to grab all the resources.
So maybe there are two issues I have seen, one is Photoshop reporting the wrong doc size and the other bad error processing?Photoshop CS6 with the latest patch applied, Windows 7 x64 with 16GB RAM, i7 processor.Here are a couple of screen shots that show the doc size problem
1. When I shoot a picture in RAW, it comes out of the camera at a certain size, say 10 megs. When I bring it into Photoshop (while bypassing the RAW converter by holding down the shift key and hitting 'enter'), the image size is 57 megs...even before I do any processing whatever. What caused the file size to go from 10 to 57 megs when the only thing I did was to simply open it in Photoshop?
2. If I shoot 10 RAW images, they all come out of the camera a different size, e.g., 9.7 megs, 10.2 megs, 9.8 megs, etc. Since the sensor in the camera is the same, why wouldn't each image come out the camera the exact same size when shooting in RAW)?
I know that Photoshop supports a maximum file size of 2 GB and maximum pixel dimensions of 30,000 by 30,000 pixels per image.
My friend has a file size 2,10 GB that he closed and now he can not open the same with Photoshop. Is there any way that he can open this file at all?

I think that a TIFF file bigger than 2 gb does not create any quality issue in LR - PS workflow ... correct?
It is just related with some third party programs, as the warning box says.

When I open my Raw Images in Photoshop CS5 Camera Raw, The file size is correct It was shot at 240 ppi.
But when I open the same Image In Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw 8.1, the Image converts to 300 ppi.
Off course I can go ahead and open the file Inside the Photoshop and change the Image size when Resample Image Is checked and change the Resolution to 240 ppi. But I don't want to do that I want the Camera Raw 8.1 to open all my Raw Images AS IS, which is 240 ppi. Default size for Canon 5D.
