pixeldroid Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Not sure this is a bug, but I have a file that only has 3 layers: HSV, Curves, and a vector rectangle. So no pixels. The file is ~4k x 3k and about 13.75 MB. Sometimes I do this to store the settings for a file but not keep 2 copies of the image data (i.e. I can reimport the original image if I want to redo it). That seems large for a file which has so little data to store. Yes? No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted August 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi @pixeldroid, Sorry for the delayed reply. I could not replicate this. My file (4k x 3k) with one HSL and one Curves is only 12kb. If you attach your file, I can have a look. That's way too large for a simple document. Thanks, Gabe.

pixeldroid Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Here you go. It is my guess that the photo is still in the file, but its layer is gone. I have used this method with other files and not encountered this problem. Thanks. 20190723_114605_front_cc.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 You still have a snapshot of the original image in the AF file. Check the snapshot panel and restore the initial snapshot and you will see it. Deleting the snapshot is easy Getting the file size to reflect that deletion seems overly unintuitive telemax and Gabe 2 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

pixeldroid Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I seldom use the snapshot functionality, so I probably hit a kbs by accident, unless it is auto-created when the file was opened. However, I've opened the snapshots panel, deleted the snapshot containing the background image, saved, closed and reopened the file, but the file size has not shrunk. Thanks.

Staff Gabe Posted August 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 9, 2019 I tried replicating this from scratch but no success. Have you got any steps to replicate this issue? Or has it only happend to this file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would expect that deleting the snapshot and doing a Save or Save as would result in a smaller file size but it does not in this case. After deleting the snapshot you need to save and close the document, then reopen the document make a change to it then save it again, only then do you see the reduction in file size. telemax 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

pixeldroid Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 It has only happened w/this file. But I've avoided the same process. Something like this: Open a jpg. Add the color correction layers and a vector layer mask. Save as .afphoto. Move the mask back into an independent layer (so the image is no longer masked). Delete the image. Save.

pixeldroid Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Yep. From 14.75 MB to 9k. That's a bit better. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixeldroid Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 So it's a bug. But FWIW, I'd rather leave it in there and put the dev time into the capability to persistently hide the bounding box and selection rectangle - i.e. hide until unhidden by the user. I find that to be very annoying everytime I use your software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
