Everytime I do a mod to the file description within photoshop, the actual file size increases.

I have noticed that all of the changes to the file description have been recorded to the file.

Is there anyway that I can purge or compact the file. to remove the old descriptions ???

What kind of file are you talking about? A JPEG?

If you use Photoshop to change the file description of a JPEG, and then you hit Save, Photoshop re-compresses the JPEG. This degrades its quality, and it also uses whatever settings Photoshop used last time you saved a JPEG, if the JPEG wasn’t initially created by Photoshop. Saving a JPEG multiple times degrades its quality; saving a JPEG with different compression settings may increase its size.

Also, Photoshop includes extra information in a file, such as a preview, an icon, and (if you tell it to) a color profile, which will increase the file size.

Its a jpg file.

But its got nothing to do with the image, only the text info relating to the image which is held in basically the header of the image file.

Things like description, camera, aperture, copyright etc etc.

Its when the image is up on the screen within photoshop and you right click on the blue top bar of the image, and you select ‘image info’

When you modify this ‘file info’ it adds the new info to the file but still retains the existing ‘file info’.

So the more you change the ‘file info’ the more the file size increases.

I wish to purge the old info out.
