What your common sense says is incommunicable. Compressed size isn't file size if you're trying to tell someone what size file you require to make a print. It's only relevant to your hard drive requirements. The size of the file when it's open in PhotoShop is file size. If you compressed it as a jpeg, it would be yet a different size. There's no standard when compression sizes are cited. Working file size is the only reference that is meaningful. Paul On Oct 19, 2006, at 9:45 PM, Bob Shell wrote:
