Two Layer File Save Enormous
I have an image that came to me decently small for my type of work. It came at 300dpi from Getty and when resized to 100dpi and 121"w x 99"h (yes seriously) it suddenly locked my computer up. I've been resizing images to this size for this entire giant project but suddenly this one has gone insane. I have to wait over ten minutes just to make changes. I even tried changing it to 200dpi at half the size as I find that sometimes helps.
I blurred the image twice, then added noise (to help sharpen it up), turned the layer on soft light, and added a slight gradient layer mask to the top. When I saved the psB file out it was 4.5 GIGs! Now I can't even save it to a JPG because it's running out of memory.
I have no idea what to do to fix this. It's nuts and I've never seen this happen before.
