I’m slowly edging into sensory overload here, so I figured it might be easier to ask someone than research this one!!
I am currently learning photoshop on my own through trial and error and a couple of peachpit books I have acquired, and in order to do that…my boss threw me to the wolves and told me to design this vehicle wrap for the sign shop. Being that it is for wrapping vinyl onto a full size van…you can imagine how large the file is, because the whole van is covered in pictures of clouds and then pictures of artist on it along with the radio station logo etc., all that layered on top of one another. So…In hopes of reducing the file size (hopefully significantly), being that it is in the upwards of 6-700mb, will it help to do some masking so that the top most layer will cut out all the unnecessary stuff below it, since you can’t/won’t see it anyway. If so I’m thinking a clipping mask would be the way to go…or is my logic steering me in the wrong way?
I’m just curious if since I am not in need of the underlying graphic….when I merge it all and save it into an EPS file…does that automatically take care of that business for me or do I need to mess with all that masking stuff while building it…even though I am not trying to create any kind of so-called effect.
