files are huge

I started with a 22Mb file, extended the image through generative fill to almost double the pixel size, added 2 smart objects containing a simple illustration each, and two text layers. The outcome file was 1.5Gb, and my 40GB disk space just disappeared for cache. This is a serious problem.

Even after rasterizing the generative fill, the oucome was still 486Mb.

Hi @Cari29415296iw5u check your smart objects. Try a test rasterizing them and saving a new version out. I don't think the issue is generative fill.

YES! I'm trying out photoshop beta and this exact same thing is happening to me.. my most recent file doesn't have any smart objects but is still 755 Mb!!!

I hope this can be fixed because these sizes are just insane.

@noord39667268 What are your file specs? Dimensons (in px), color space, bit depth, number of layers?

Similar Issue. I started with overlaying two 50mb photos and spliced them together. 

7022 x 4681 240 DPI, RGB, 8 bit, No Smart objects, no filters. Only a few simple masks with a slight feather.

I had to delete some working file layers to get it under the 2GB limit dialougue box I got. Worked on it today with 2-3 more working layers+masks and now it's 4GB? with no more than 6 layers.

I tried a .Tiff and .PSD same giant size. No visable explaination.

Go to File>File Info and click on Raw Data. What does it show or does it error out?

[Kelli32296642uk9o]

it does not. Just a long code list, nothing marked error.
