How to handle large files (3 gb +) in photoshop

I started the creation of 3 GB + files in photoshop CS2 and my computer takes 3 minutes to open and 10 minutes to record, etc. - drives me crazy with delays. My system (duo core 3,166 mhz, motherboard ASUS P5K SE/EPU, 4 GB Kingston DDR2 800 RAM, videocard Quadro FX540) is doing well with 300 MB of files, but not with them.

Recently I moved my OS to Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit in the hope that things would improve, but any change was marginal.

The files are designs multi-layer, 150 dpi, about 16 feet by 10 feet and 1.8 GB flattened when they are printed.

While I know that the designs are pushing the limits and restrictions of photoshop I would appreciate any opinions of members who have figured out how to handle large files. Any suggestions welcomed, if the upgrades of hardware/software, photoshop tips (but the dpi and size cannot be changed), etc.

CS2 works on Win7? You run in virtual XP mode?

I noticed that the flat size is 1.8 G are you save in tiff or psd? If tiff, move on to the DSP. Records room and should open more quickly. At least this is my experience.

  • How to split large files into several small files

    MS7

    I have a big file (20 GB) I want multi folders to back up on a DVD.

    A few quick options-
    -You can either make new folders in the same location as the folder that you want to reduce the size of,.
    EG - C:\ YourUsername\My Documents\
    or make new 'Sub-folders"in the files in the folder in question and to move towards these new records before
    the copy.
    - Or, you can create separate folders on the DVD and copy groups of files in these folders.

    You can also consider doing a disc external HARD for these past and future backups.

  • IX4 - 300 d / General SIN: How can I move large files between different folders?

    Hi @all.

    My new IX4 - 300 d arrived yesterday

    After doing his RAID-things all night, now I want to move my files from my old NAS to this one.

    I do this using Copy-supported by the ix4 - 300 d, which work fine.

    A big problem for me: I want to reorganize some large files / directories (> 200 GB), so I have to cut and paste the files from one folder to another (all on the ix4 - 300 d, but with different user groups).

    When I move files between subfolders in a folder of the sin, it works fast enough - I think here that the transfer will be treated directly by the nas server.

    When I do the same thing between subfolders in different folders (which appear as various network drives in windows Explorer), it seems that the transfer is managed by my pc or laptop - and it is very slow...

    I tried to move the files on my network environment (all folders are subfolders of a server: ix4 - 300 d) because I thought the problem was in my network mapping, but it does not work faster.

    How will I know my ix4 - 300 d to move the files directly (without the "help" from my pc)?

    Another idea for me was to do it via ftp, but my ix4 - 300 d only refused my connection (have to try a little more)

    Please help me

    I "solved" the problem by creating a copy of the temporary employment with the manual removal of duplicates once the task is completed. The copy job run all night.

    For future problems, I must think of an another "file management".

    Thanks for your response!

    How can I copy large files (> 15 GB) on several CDs or DVDs using features in Windows 7?  I tried Media Player, but simply, he stops and tells me that the file I copy is great.  I am looking for a way that will tell me to enter another dissk and continue copying until the file has copied at the end.

    You need to split the file into segments that will be adapted on the disks you are using.

    Windows has no characteristic that will do this for you. You can get a BluRay drive and disc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc, when you should be able to fit on a single disk file.
