I’m sure this has cropped up before…
I scanned a photo from an old black and white. I scanned it at 600 dpi. Maybe I over did this, and should have scanned it at 300…don’t know.
Anyway, the file size was about 6 Mb. I saved it as a jpg, then brought it into PE2, and converted it to psd.
I duplicated the background, and it took forever to do this.
I then cropped the image, and it took forever to do that.
I then clone stamped a few defects on the background copy, and clicked "save" and it took forever for that operation.
I tried a "dust and noise" filter, and one other filter, and those operations took forever.
After saving, which took forever, I closed the file, and brought in another image that I had worked on, and it didn’t give me any trouble.
I checked the properties of the previously scanned image, and the file was 785 Mb! I’ve created big files before, but never one that big.
Any clues on how to avoid this? I know adding information to the pic increases the file size, but wow! No wonder it took forever to do those operations.
It like working on a copy of the background (should I do this differently??), but how could a 6 mb file jump exponentially like that?
Thanks.
