    160KB is the size on disk and 4.12MB is the size occupied in memory. Very different things.

    When you open a jpg, it decompresses, and Photoshop shows you the decompressed size.

    Some programs will show you both the decompressed size and the size on disk, but Photoshop doesn't.

    So what yo're seeing is perfectly normal.

    when you open any file in Photoshop the program writes a mass of metadata to the original and that boosts the file size-metadata is not compressed. You'll find if you strip out the metadata the file size will be smaller than the original saved with 100% quality.
