Hi!

When i try to save any file as .PSD, the file always gets bigger than 1GB. I have tried everything, but it always stores it at least at 1GB.

I did a test to add a PDF on 765KB and save it as .psd, but the message sais it cannot save as .PSD as it is larger than 4GB.

My version: 22.5.0 20210809.r.384 ce617de x64

Windows

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) and the File Size dialog visible?

What are the image’s Color Mode and bit depth?

Does this affect blank newly created documents as well or only ones where at least some existing content has been added?

I tried a simple file(se imfo in picture) Standard A4 size with a few textboxes with the word "test" in it.

I tried to save it, and it turned out to be 400MB

I asked for a screenshot that includes the Image Size dialog and Panels.

Also: Why 32bit? 600 pixel per what – inches or cm?

Hello,

usually, such problem happens when we select the wrong units in the new document: 1920 x1080 inches can be big...

It is is not the problem, I would first try to reset the preferences: reset Photoshop's preferences by holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Pc) Cmd+Opt+Shift (Mac) as you click on Photoshop's icon to start it up.

See: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

If you do have access to the menu Edit>Preferences (Pc) or Photoshop>Preferences (Mac), it is possible to reset them from the General submenu.
