Hi everyone,
I'm new here so I apologise if this topic has been raised before. I am new to digital photography, having only recently been introduced to it from digiscoping birds and other wildlife. I use Elements 5.0, and have been using the quick edit facility. After being biten with the digital bug, I started to delve a bit deeper and got a copy of "the missing manual" by Barbara Brundage, which I can really recommend to anyone new to Elements. Having read about layers, and trying them for myself, I am impressed with the fact that changes can be undone later, even when the file has been closed. Here's where the problem arises. I use a Zeiss DC4 eyepiece/camera unit, which downloads jpegs roughly 2MB in size. If I use layers, I can save them in psd format with no problems. If I download shots from my 10.1MP sony camera, and edit using layers, when I save the file the organiser shows the saved file as an icon, with file too large written across it. I have searched through all the preferences files and can't find a file size allocation anywhere, except for the "save to web" setting, which is obviously for web pages, email etc. Does anyone know how I can save larger files without the error coming up?
hope someone can help, or at least point me in the right direction.
Cheers,
Jon
