The file size is how much space it takes up on my storage disk. In the case I referenced, 15.6 MB is the actual file size. I also have a bunch of images stored as Genuine Fractals files, and the file size is how much space the file takes up, not whatever arbitrary size I decide to open it as. Why on earth would anyone store uncompressed TIFF files? LZW compression is lossless, so you're just wasting disk space if you don't use it. It took me a while to think of this as the missing point in our communication, since it seems just plain silly to store TIFF files any other way.
