Hello ,

I’m getting a problem in saving a PSD files.

After finishing the design ( CMYK 8Bits , 1200 x 1200 Pixels , 72 Dpi ), After saving it as PSD & I found it have a very large MB size ( 450 MB ).

That was Unusual, so I decided to save it as JPG, and here was the shock , It was about ( 146 MB ).

Can you help me please to figure out the solution ?

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

If it doesn't need to retain the Smart Object, rasterizing the layer should solve it.

To check for bloated photoshop:DocumentAncestors metadata, use File > File Info > Raw Data:

If you see a single line message that there is too much metadata to display, then that would indicate excessive photoshop:DocumentAncestors metadata.

This not only has to be performed in the main file, but also by opening up each smart object and checking there as well. If a smart object contains another smart object, then you need to check that as well.
