...Yes, another post about big file sizes. But wanted to go directly with examples. Based in other posts, I made sure the saving with history is disabled, and the assistant in develop persona was also disabled. I'm running latest version on Mac. This are the steps taken to generate de files... 1- Take a nice picuture in RAW (nikon) 2- Open de file in Photoshop CC, Open image without changes, and Save (*-PS Save.psd) 3- Export immediately as PNG, bilinear, (*-PS Export.png) 4- Open file in Affinity Photo, Develop without changes, and Save As (*-AF Save.afphoto) 5- Export immediately as PNG-24 bilinear, (*-AF Export.png) 6- Export immediatelu as PSD preserver accuracy (*-AF Export.psd) Raw nef, 28.2 mb PS psd, 69.1 mb PS png, 28.3 mb AF afphoto, 186 mb AF png, 104.4 mb AF psd, 146 mb File sizes are too big, it not only affects storage, but also preview, loading, saving and culling time. The feeling of frustration every time I hit save is very odd. Would someone provide steps to "flatten" the file before saving in order to have the lowest possible file size?, preferible within the same range at its PS counterpart We really need an option to save optimized !!
