milton-chris Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'm stumped and gobsmacked. My 40D RAW files around 10 mb become 740Mb when saved as a psd file and 25Mb when saved as a tiff. Obviously there's something wonky there - any ideas? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldog Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Layers and compression? Check your general preferences too for file compatibility.

g dan mitchell Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How many layers and of what type? PS files can get very big, depending upon what you do in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton-chris Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 only layer is the original file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musubi1000 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 This is a good one. I originally thought 16 bit or maybe a smart object but a single layer psd doesn't come close with both on my 30d files. 16 bit 30D smart object = 96 MB. Chris, is there a lot of details in the image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton-chris Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Tak, the image is a rowing scene - 5 ladies in a white boat on a river. There are the obvious ripples on the water, which are in many different colours due to the setting sun. I'll go find a link to the small jpeg of the pic and send it.
