Hello, I recently created TIFF files at 600 dpi and the file size is HUGE... (120 mb's)... How can I save it at a smaller size?

Thanks in advance.

Just archieve it. Zip helps a lot when it comes to tiff files.

Is there a specific reason you're using a TIFF? They are generally used for offset print jobs. If that is the case you may want to try looking into making it an EPS retains the same quality, but it preserves things like paths, transparency, as well as reduces files size.

Hehe, but yea... if you zip it up it will prolly chop it down to about 30-20MB.

Hi. Few tips for tiffs...

* First, maybe you don't need 600 dpi. If your tiff is for da print, u can save it with much less dpi... I always use 300 dpi for da print... sometimes even less... Prints are crystal at 300 dpi... depends of on which machine u want to print...
* Check wheter u save the tiff with the layers.... No need of layers when u use tiffs for print... And erase all mask channels u have...
* When saving tiff, use compression in the save dialog... LZW, for example...

You'll be surprised of the size of your tiff after all this tips...

Cheers!

Is there a reason that you need it to be 600dpi. Industry standards are 300dpi for high-res work. If there isn't a specific reason for it being 600dpi, knock it down to 300 and that should help you
