Illustrator question save large file

Attempting to save an 8 GB file .ai locally or on a network drive causes illustrator to crash sometimes. Is there a limit to the size of the files .ai I should try to stay under?

Nick,

Maybe it's not relevant if you have the same rate of failure on local economies, but it is generally recommended here for open/save from/to clean hard disk and to copy to and from networks and removable media. You maybe lucky (for a while), but the chances of corruption of files and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use something else than the hard drive, and it is better safe than sorry.

In addition to the (much longer) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

To have a network really work requires little work.

Make sure that you do not mix Mac and Windows on a network: you must use a Mac with Mac machines and a Windows Server with Windows machines.

If you go through external means, it is always safer to zip/compress the file to avoid corruption.

  • Photoshop 2014 (Win7) crashes when you save large files

    Hello

    A new user in our design Department has problems with its Photoshop 2014 frequently crashing when saving large files.

    It runs on a new brand PC (Windows 7 x 86), which has all the latest drivers for hardware and Windows updates. CC Adobe indicates that no update is available for Photoshop.

    After installation of the product, I'm not particularly familiar with Photoshop, so apologies if it is a common/known issue that I'm not aware of.

    I don't think it's a hardware problem as only Photoshop is having these issues (the user is also AutoCAD 2014, which works perfectly). However, I ran Memtest 86 + all night, who reported no errors.

    Here is a typical crash report and also a copy/paste info from System. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful.

    Thank you

    Dan

    No offense, but for any PS works by today's standards, what you have here is simply not enough. The registration process fails probably simply run out of memory during the generation of the preview or other operation. Unless you add more RAM and get the 64 bit, your problems probably will not disappear, and I would like to same thing working with ACAD on such a system is not particularly nice, considering the amount of RAM it uses to load its libraries and a few other things...

  • save large files

    Multilayer files that seem to be rather low - for example, two layers smart object pixel photographs plus two adjustment layers (a composite)-are actually too big to Photoshop to save PSD files, requiring that they be saved as documents of large format (PSB).  PSB, however, is not recognized by Lr so after saving your "big file" in Photoshop, you cannot import this file in Lightroom.  Basically, if you use Lightroom as your principal asset management program, you have lost track of the PSB file.  ADOBE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.  For photographers, an important feature of the use of Photoshop and Lightroom is that you can change the photo files in Photoshop using layers and be able to view thumbnails of your PSD files in your Lightroom Catalog.



    Hi ohello,.

    I suggest you to save files in TIFF instead of the PSB in Photoshop for them to be imported into Lightroom.

    If you are opening files from Lightroom and change them, if you please, navigate to preferences and change the format of TIFF file.

    I hope this helps.

  • Illustrator CS4 for large files

    Hello

    I met problems with illustrator cs4 during the creation of banners or posters of 1mx2m, especially when exporting to jpg format, it is not enough memory.

    There are a number of problems with blurry even on sizes small file A4 documents.

    I never had these issues with the CS3 version.

    System specs

    Mac Pro 8-Core 2.8

    Snow Leopard

    12gig of Ram

    360 GB main drive

    1 TB of secondary drive

    Now, I don't think that its my system and another thing I noticed when you use the activity monitor to see how the system is used, it is practically nothing, very low 0.8%, etc, it's CPU, physical memory is virtually none, vm is not much, either with many other applications open, it uses almost all of my system , so where is Illustrator, taking his power, as its not not using much of my system?

    Thank you

    Make sure that the use of work plans is checked in the lower left corner of the backup window. At the moment, you try to rasterize 227 together "x 227" canvas. "

  • Illustrator CS5 closes unexpectedly when you try to save a file - compatibility of Yosemite?

    I have a new Macbook Pro OS X Yosemite, with Creative Suite CS5 installed and updated to version 15.0.2. I never had problems with the software in the past, but since I have it installed on my new machine whenever I try to save a file in Illustrator it closes unexpectedly and I get the error on the accident report:

    Crashed thread: 0 dispatch queue: com.apple.main - wire

    Exception type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)

    Exception codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000001c57c758

    After reading some of the other threads, I tried to validate all my fonts and deletion of a question, without success. I have not a printer is installed and I ran a diagnostic on my system and it come clean. I do not know how to verify permissions, or how to search for and delete the folder settings, which is what has suggested another thread.  I'm at a total loss about how to fix this problem, and I'm unable to save Illustrator files in any capacity. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The problem seems to be in interaction with the apple code. Have you tried with a new user account and see if it works there? If this isn't the case, then you could try to uninstall, run the cleanup tool and reinstall CS5 and then update to 15.0.2 before anything else.

  • I save unnecessarily large files

    Whenever I first backup my files HAVE, the file size is low. However, when I create small vectors not complex (such as a square), I save these files in ridiculously large sizes. For example, I started with a file HAVE to 300 k, then it became a 50 563 kb file size. The difference of ONLY between these stops is a simple vector created.

    I tried "save under" and uncheck "create PDF Compatible", but to no avail. The saved file is still unnecessarily large. I know I can create a new file and use 'Place' to insert the work, but once I have it and save your updated work it creates a ridiculous large file size once again.

    Interestingly, Monika. Because I ran remove it Panel unused items on the same file and it did not a thing even when I unchecked PDF Compatible on my attempt of "save under. After reading your post, I decided to update the application with the Advanced Options marked as "don't DO NO import previous settings and preferences" and "Remove older versions." That seemed to do the trick. Once I ran remove it Panel unused items on the same file, it deleted all the excess stuff and reduced the size of the file 17 646 KB in 131 KB.

    This has been plaguing me for a few weeks now and I'm glad it's fixed. I appreciate all your help with this, Monika, Mike, ton and Barbara!

  • Large files in Illustrator

    Hello

    Sometimes, I have a project that ends up being 2gig. I understand that it is probably the size photos that I'm setting but can I somehow make it work with more photos that I don't know how to reduce the photos without losing quality.

    Kind regards

    Bronson.

    Hey Bronson.

    Looks like you're place a huge Photoshop file. Assume that it is 300 ppi (high definition) in Photoshop.

    If you place this as linked image (link has been selected in the Place dialog), and you scale it to a much smaller size in Illustrator, the resolution of the image to the smaller size, is probably more than 300 dpi. About 300 DPI is not necessary for printing on a press.

    It's what you can do to make your file smaller Illustrator. First, with the selected image, look on the left side of the control panel and your see the info of "Pixels per Inch" (ppi). If this number is much greater than 300, you should be able to bring down the size of the Photoshop image in Photoshop.

    Select the linked image in Illustrator and open the Info Panel (window > info). You should see the percentage of the image has been resized to say that this image has been resized to 30%.

    Open the image in Photoshop and save it under a new name. Go to Image > Image size and check resample. Where it says inches or Pixels, select percent in the context menu. Shrink down the image at 30%, press OK and save. (see attachment)

    Place it in Illustrator and save. The Illustrator file should now be smaller.

    I hope this helps!

  • Illustrator CS6 mode does not respond when you save the file

    Hello

    For the past two weeks Illustrator switch mode not responding whenever I want to save a file. He stays like that for all 30secs and then he finally saves the file / changes / updates.

    I use Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium edition for Windows.

    I have uninstall and install the software several times but nothing seems to work.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Manual,

    Just to be sure: is there a printer correctly installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper)?

  • How can I save a file that is larger than 2gigs without having to compress the image or reduce 16-bit to 8-bit?

    is this possible? I tried to save in a .psd file and I got a message saying it cannot save to the disk because it is bigger than 2gigs. ! I could really use some advice on saving a photo that I need to keep the highest quality for the very strong impression!

    Hi Kareen-

    This problem can lead to a lot of things but don't forget that to save a large file, you need to provide Photoshop with good use of CPU and good work record

    first try to set photoshop giving him memory: go in Edition > Preferences > Performance in memory use increase the Ps memory can store more in your ram... (what economy try closing all other efficiency programs)

    in Performance tab there is a group called "History & Cache": If your file is large itd be interesting to use as many levels of cache (maybe 8) and tile caching during about 1028 k size also affect the size of the large, flat tile

    in Scratch Disk leave photoshop now uses its temp file in all your drives for better performance

    If this doesn't work for you let me know your sys. config. and the amount of layers has your file
