Coretion over Large file (like 200mb and even more)

Here a nice trick when you need to make correction (level color) on really big file... something likes 200mb and more!

1) Open your image
2) Go to file size and reduce the size to a really smaller image (something like changing the resolution from 300 to 72) to get a much smaller file size, but make sure you still see some details.
3) Save this file over a new name (ex: LowFileName.psd)

Now we have a low-resolution version of our file, one that will be much easier and faster to work on.

Now here come the part where we will use a cool feature of Photoshop... Adjustment layers...

Make all your correction with adjustment layer, like lever, color, hue and saturation, until you like the results... you an also use mask.

4) When you like the results you will need to group all you adjustment layers...

5) Open you Original file

6) Drag all you adjustment layer over the original size

And voila, all you adjustment are over you Hi-Rez image!!! I you used mask you will need to adjust their size with Scaling!

Have fun!

Ahhh I'll have to try that out. my little celeron Sony dosent like huge files to much... that's a great idea... thanks.

Heres what I do; Create a smaller version of the pic, start recording an action, make all your changes for color correction, stop recording your action. Open the large version, and press play on the action....viola.

This is only a good idea if you get all your setting rigth at the first time, if you go back to amke conretion than the time it will take to run the action will be much longer, als you dont get the adavantage of ajustement layer...

heh neat idea man. Tried it out and it worked. No it´s not a action to make, just drag the adjustment layer in to the other picture and you have the right adjustments.. neat man .
