 |
|
I made a billboard size image, which is roughly 150wx90h in 300 resolution in 8 bits and RGB mode and then save it as .PSB(since its a large file, its only applicable to save as .psb) after saving, I decided to save it as JPEG, after clicking file>save as. In the list of options there is no .JPEG included in the saving option, the ones are there are .TIFF, .RAW, .PSB, .DCM
and also, When i tried saving it as .TIFF and chose Jpeg in the list, the result image came about 1.3GB size file which is i think odd.. any advice? |

Hi Pedenski,
I'm quite sure you can save a large file to .PSD too. Then, as long as it is 8bit, you can save as a JPEG. |

Check with your printer to find out what the minimum size is for a billboard. No need to do this at 100%. |

also saving the image at 300 dpi is very overkill for a billboard.
Your printer would probably be using a very coarse halftone screen so 72 dpi would perhaps be a high enough resolution. |

I stumbled across your post while doing a search for the exact same problem: Billboard .PSB file, 8 bits, RGB, flattened, but no option to save as JPEG.
Through some testing, it seems like Photoshop allows a maximum of 30,000 pixels in width or height before disabling some of the Save As options. It's something to do with compatibility. If all of the other suggestions in this thread have failed to solve your problem, I'm guessing your billboard file exceeded that number of pixels. |
