I could really use some help. I have to work on a vergy large photo (a 2x2.5 metters print, in 300 dpi). Someone told me that I should work on a small version of the file, and then copy and paste the history from the small to the big file
The thing is: how do send the modifications from one file to another?
creating very large digital artwork. I mean images that are around 3ft by 2ft at least, maybe upwards of 48" by 30".
Many layers, lots of depth going on, in the vein of lets say - Abstract digital art. I will also be creating these images not only at large image size but very high quality for Giclee and other printing purpose.
My question is, what sort of PC requirements should I consider for the most efficiency. As much RAM as possible? I am already looking into a 30" monitor just to give me as much real estate as possible. When working at images around 10,000 x 7,000 pixels I am already working at 12% image on a large monitor.
If money wasn't much of an option what would you go for/what considerations would you bring up?
2+Gigs of RAM over Dual/Quad Core processors.
One large 30" monitor or perhaps Dual 24"?
Massive HD space for the 300mb that each image will be when saving/storing.
My custom linetype (something like this ----W----W----W----W---- ) doesn't work as a huge polyline (6 units wide.) The line is wide enough but the letters are tiny dots.
If I try to set the lineweight by layer, the maximum is 2.11 mm, which is way too small for the 50" by 70" map I'm working on.
Is there a way to get a nice looking line that wide with letters ( ----W---- for water, -----S---- for sewer, etc.) or should I tell my boss that we have to use the standard lines?
I have hundreds of web galleries that I need optimized. I need each photo opened and resaved. However, I need the photos to be saved via "save for web" so that the files end up being about 20-30 k. If I use just "save as > jpg" the files end up being about 100-130k. IMPORTANT NOTES: I want the current files to be overwritten (partly because, if I designate a destination, they will be unorganized, and partly because each photo comes in 4 diferent versions: bwlrg, bwsml, clrlrg, clrsml.

View 9 Replies View RelatedShooting with Canon 5DmkII DSLR, which provides 1920x1080 .MOV files at 29.97 fps. Data rate on the files is about 45Mbps, with a total bit rate marginally higher.I have been asked to output .MOV at 29.97, 1920x1080 progressive with PhotoJPEG compression at 90%, square pixels.
In Proj. Properties, I seem to need Microsoft AVI (MPEG doesn't allow 1920x1080 option). No compression, and have obviously kept 29.97 fps. Whether I want to perform non-square pixel rendering at this point, and haven't yet found any info on whether the camera shoots square or non-square pixels. Or I want frame-based or upper or lower fields first. I haven't found any explanation of what this means in the product documentation.
I've created an output template to give 1920x1080 at 29.97 fps, 24-bit colour. Again don't know whether to pick frame-based or upper or lower field first. Using PhotoJPEG compression (100% seems the only setting available, but that's OK).
In the final Create dialogue box Options, there is another chance to render non-square pixels (I'm assuming "no" here since I want square), as well as a checkbox for Smart Render, but again no explanation as to why I would need it.
So I've been practicing with 10sec clips to see what happens. With the above settings, the creation takes a couple of minutes and I have been able to generate a huge 1.6GB output file. Play is somewhat jerky since I don't think my computer can keep up. The input files are e.g. 233MB for 44sec, or about 5.3 MB/sec. Am I wrong to expect the output to be about the same size? Curiously, I have been able to generate 50MB files for two of the videos, and the rendering only took a couple of seconds. Unfortunately I have not been able to repeat this, but rather get these 1.6-1.7GB files as the routine. I have tried different input files with the same result.
merging mesh and group from other file (i do this in every new project) i see file size growing (120MB to 700 Mb for example!!)Now, if i try to "save selected" some object,
 - from the scene1 in which i've merged object2
or
- from the scene2 that i have merged in scene1
Â
the file saved have the same big size, and if i delete from scene 1, merged object and resave it, the filesize is just a bit less of 700..
Several days ago I noticed my files sizes were enormous. I was unable to even open them to work on them. Something that was once 517KB becomes 161MB the next time I save it.
After I installed the Corel update this morning, things were back to working as usual. But tonight it's back to the huge files. I saved a simple greeting card file - no halftones, no gradients, etc. It saved at 19.7MB. A few minutes later after making some small changes - saving again it was now 118 MB.
I tried saving to a lower version of Corel and ver 15 it was the same scenario. When saving to 12, 13, & 14 the files were normal, small sizes. But after a few hours even those versions were saving at huge sizes.
I've had a friend check her computer using the same file - she has the exact same computer & on Corel X6. All of her files are nice and small like they are supposed to be.
I've run virus checks and nothing is coming up. I am on Windows 7 64 bit.
Other than recreating all of my files every time I use them - I have no way of saving usable .cdr files.
We are experiencing an almost virus-like situation with some of our dwg files. Massive file sizes that grow exponentially - even with very few entities and no xrefernces. Said files also have issues with copy-to-clipboard and paste from one dwg file to the next: objects do not paste, but dozens of sequentailly named phantom blocks are generated.
After doing some searching around we feel this is occurring when clients send us files exported from microstation.
Any patch or purge command that will fix this?
I create a document with multiple artboards whereby every image I place in the document is linked, however the size of the document is still enormous (around 350mb). It's a big document with a lot of clipping masks on images but surely it shouldn't be so big.

I need to create ONE image so they can just print it continuously along the whoe piece of fabric. So I need to create a REALLY BIG image. They have recommended Adobe Creative Suite, but of course I want to do it with GIMP.
Just today, I installed the latest GIMP, and it doesn't seem to be letting me create even a 58x72 inch image in 1440 dpi. Is there an add on or a way that I can create huge tiff files in GIMP?.....or do I have to shell out the cash and get Creative Suite?
I just started to try to clean up my hard drive and using CCleaner I found that I had 70 GIGS OF FILES IN TEMP! most of this is made up of a 55 gig photoshop temp file and a bunch of 300-750 MB photoshop temp files. I am just wondering why these are in there, why they are so big, and if I can safely delete them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Photoshop Elements 10 Version 10 (20110831.m.17215) and everytime I plug in a memory card to upload images it wants to upload every image on the card, even though it has previously uploaded images from that card, even though I have the "Copy New Files Only (Ignore Already Imported Files)" box ticked in the preferences Camera or Card Reader section. This gets very frustrating and time consuming when I have to go through the images every single time to uncheck the images that have already been uploaded.

View 3 Replies View Relatedi am working on colour-washing an A0 sized scanned architectural elevations drawing, nothing major, but the file size has now gone massive.
it started off as a scanned PDF of 2mb, which i converted to .PSD format and began bucket-filling area's with colour. the .PSD file is now 60mb, and i have flattened the image so there is only one layer?
the problem with it being 60mb is that our plotter hasnt got enough memory to print it.
and i have only coloured half of the drawing so far!
how can i reduce the file size but still keep it in .PSD format?
I am creating a 24"X18" Sign with text and simple graphics.
I set my canvas to 24X18 and the file size is over 2gb.
Should I be doing this in smaller scale to make the file sizes smaller? What happens when I send the file to the sign shop for printing? Will they need the full 24X18, or can I make it smaller but in a format that the print shop can blow up without sacrificing quality?
ALSO, I need to be able to send an example of the sign to my client by email. How can I make a downsized version with a small enough file size to email?
I downloaded the RAW update here. I have CS 2 and when I try to open a .CR2 image file, I get this dialog.
I don't think this is the dialog box I'm supposed to get. What did I do wrong? I have a mac OS, and I put the raw plugin in library > Application Support > Adobe > Plugins > CS2 > File Formats. did I put it in the right place?
I have a client who wants a 180cm print on their car of a photograph I took. My problem is that I can't save the file. First it had some problems with re sampling the image, but I changed so it used the external hard drive as well. The problem was something with the hard drive not having enough space even though the was more than enough. I'm using Photoshop CC.
Â
Now the problem is that I don't have enough RAM. I have the 8gb of the best RAM out there. I've also tried with a best upgraded iMac 27 (late 2012), but it didn't work. The file is 1,87gb. I would need a super computer to be able to save that file and I doubt the client will be able to open it.Â
I'm used to working with older versions of Photoshop CS, where I 'just save' exr with no options. This previously resulted in file sizes half that of .hdr. In this latest version if I choose to save uncompressed (which I assumed the old versions of Photoshop did?) the file size is a good 10x larger than they used to be. If I save as zlib or wavelet, they're similar size (a fair bit less than a .hdr).
Â
What did the old Photoshop use for compression? Or how can I find out? I don't remember my old exrs taking so long to compress and save either (with zlib) but I might be wrong.
I'm working on a flyer and because I'm new to Photoshop,
i have a question:
I want to make a huge line (backward) of shot glasses with the following picture as basis.
I'm unable to handle the transparency between the shot glasses.
I have this problem since I bought my SSD into my MacBook Pro. It happens both with Photoshop CS5 and CS6.
Â
My hard disk configuration is a little bit weird. I have an SSD and an HDD (in the opti bay). The (OS X 10.7 Lion) system itself is on the SSD, and the user directories (/Users/gk/) are symlinked from the HDD because the SSD does not have enough space. There is one exception: the /Users/gk/Library folder is not on the SSD, but on the HDD to preserve the speed, so it's a double symlink.
I am not able to save images at all, it pretends to to it, but in fact the save operation reaches only the point, where the image is saved in ~/Library/ Caches/TemporaryItems (which is on the SSD), but then it is not moved to it's save location.
I'm laying out some big panels containing smaller images, so I am adding these using 'File>Place'. However, while the empty panel takes up about 70 MB, placing 3MB worth of smaller images makes the file size explode to a whopping 150MB, making it impossible to fill up the entire board. So far, I've seen file sizes of 500 MB, with Photoshop eating up 50GB swap files. what is going on here?

(I'm using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.7.3)
I have two PSD files. In one file 11pt font looks very small, in the other file 6pt font looks huge! Both fonts are MPlantin. Both canvas and image sizes are the same. Why is this happening?
Â
The reason I ask is I'm trying to get my font thickness just right when I print the file. The font keeps coming out too thick. I think this strange sizing this is a clue as to why.
i want to create a huge poster/billboard probably size reaching 10ft x 10ft or somewhere along that line, and in this poster i want to add photos (obviously edited in photoshop from jpeg or other file formats), effects, texts etc..
how do i get to create this for such huge prints and what is the settings i have to use in my document, so that when i scale my image up to that size or about it wouldn't be pixelated or starting to be pixelated??
I've copied and pasted a shape from Illustrator into Photoshop CS6.
Â
When I go to transform layer, Photoshop is putting a large bounding box around the object — even though the object's bounds are much smaller.
Â
No other layers are selected or linked to the Vector smart object.
One thing that I just can't work out is why the gamut warning in GIMP is so much greater than in Photoshop.

sometimes when working with photos on removable drives in ACR and then later in PS I forget to first write the raw files onto its final destination.I understand why this happens to me. One isn't sure whether the raw-file is at all worth it and then finally everything is done and one now better should make sure that PS finds its stuff when editing the psd anew. At least given one brings in raws as as smart object from ACR....
Â
My question is: Is there maybe a "pack and go"-script around which allows gathering all project-files, best on open projects at once ?The script looked for the raw, and the sidecar with settings.Then the script simply asked for a common storage-location, together with the psd.
