Can't save any document.  Updated Photoshop this week, now, every document displays "Could not save this document because the document exceeds 2.0G"

I tested with just the letters " J;IL" and that won't even save.  

Suggestions?  Everything was fine until updated

I am coming across the same problem almost every time. It's getting super frustrating now.  I am using layers of very small images - very simple projects. The units are in place. I am having to save in BSP and then delete entire projects as the files are ending up summing up to ridiculously high gigs when it should only be something less than a gig. Can anyone help please?

I'd suggest that you provide some basic information, total pixel width/depth, bits per channel, alpha channels, number of layers etc.

Save as Large Document Format .PSB file type.  PSD is for smaller files.

I suspect you're creating documents with the wrong units of measure assumed. 800px by 600px is a very different size document thatn 800inches by 600inches.

 

Go to Image > Image Size... and check the size of the document:

Thanks but its not the case. I checked and the units are in place.
