If you're working from raw files, those are developed to 16-bit. 16-bit uncompressed raster information is quite large! If you don't need the extra precision, you can try converting to 8-bit via Document>Colour Format before saving your document. If you've already saved it, try Save As to create a fresh copy with no redundant data. Additionally, when you develop or begin work on an image, an initial Snapshot is created so you can always revert to the original image. This takes up space too, so you may want to delete it. If you go to View>Studio>Snapshots to display the panel, you can then click on the Background snapshot and delete it (the bin icon). Hope that helps. Fantastic @James Ritson THANK YOU ! that solved the issue perfectly...Ditched Adobe a long back when shifted to a Mac and heard about Affinity. My image was 2858x2453 pxls...with no history save...save as resulted in a file size of 250 Mb. The Raw Image from the camera was developed in RGB/16 bit...so converted it to RGB/8 bit.. deleted snapshots.. Saved the file...FILE 1..180 Mb's then save as to new file...FILE 2..35 Mb's...only.. no change in resolution.. that is perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
