I’m working on an image that’s 850mb flat, but with all the layers it’s now 9.25GB. And this is after I split it up into two files, background and foreground. There’s about 150 layers with layermasks in the foreground file alone and I need all the layers there. It was 6.8 gb yesterday, but today I opened it was 8GB without me doing anything. Also, I tried to crop it, not cropping the image smaller, but cropping to same size to get rid of all the excess information that stretch beyond the clipboard that I can’t see. This increased the image size another GB and took an hour to process. Why would file-size get larger when I crop? I realize that without seeing the file it’s hard to give advice on how to make the file-size smaller, but just trying to figure out if there’s something else I can try to reduce the file size except for the obvious (deleting layers, channels, etc.) It’s getting painfully slow.
