Hi guys!

Is it possible to get Photoshop CC to show my image size in MB on my Windows 10 laptop? I never see that option. I usually use Windows 10 itself to do this, but think it may be malfunctioning.

    Hi, could you elaborate on where you'd like to see this value? In the open/save menus? In the status bar (hope you are aware this is the size with zero compression)? Which value are you currently seeing?

      Hi, again, @Tallmanirl @could you explain the "why" you need to see the size of the files, with all the caveats explained in this thread. Web design? Videogame for mobile? Would you save files flattened, or is the size of layered files needed.

        Hi PECourtejoie,

        Some photo printers have a 30mb file size limit. I need to know my file
        size so I can keep (or reduce it to) less than this.


        Regards,


        Fergal.

          In Windows Explorer set the view to details and you will see the sizes of image files on disk.

          Alternatively right click on an image file and choose properties to see both the file size in teh general tab and the pixel size in the details tab

            Thanks for that Dave. I was using the file properties option to view the MB
            size of the files, but this seemed to malfunction last night. I’m wondering
            if there is any option to view the MB In photoshop?

            Regards,

            Fergal.

            Inside Photoshop you will see a different figure based on File Size in RAM of the current layers. It is a different number entirely to filesize on disk which is the compressed size on disk along with metadata.

            You could use Bridge though and look under File Properties there.
