I am a newbie – so sorry if this is a dumb question. But when I open a JPG file with CS3 it will make it very large. For example – when I open a 2.75MB JPG file taken from a digital camera, CS3 somehow increases the file to 14 MB. When I open a 2MB JPG image sent from a graphic designer, CS3 shows the image as 31MB.

Not sure what is going on – any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

that’s because the saved compressed file is smaller than the open actual size.

BTW all versions off Photoshop work this way.
