Ive recently been getting space warnings so went looking at what is useing it. What i found is strange and im hoping someone can help.
Open a raw file from LR into PS and it shows as about 119meg at the bottom of PS screen. Save the file as a tiff with no compression and its 119meg. save with compression and its 139meg. nothing was done to the image other than open it. Now take same raw and open direct to PS and save its 59meg and compressed 39meg. What is going on. So now i have hundreds of files at approx 119meg going back to 2018. even open one up in PS and save wont change its size. In one folder i have 10 tiffs all different images with different amount of changes etc and even some as mono. All are 119.8meg
The file is 3648x5472 raw from canon 6d. Opened from LR into PS and no work done just save as tiff.
With compression set to none. interleaved and macintosh (defaults on mine) set file is 119.8meg
with compression set to lzw and rest left same file is 152meg
Same raw that LR used but right click open with PS and do the same save i get 59meg no compression and 32meg compressed.
And just as im checking the colour mode and bit think ive seen it. open direct in PS and its 8bit. opened via LR and its 16bit. So a setting in LR by looks of it.
So any way to bulk change hundreds of files to 8bit without opening each one?
