Re: Layers and BLending Modes

2007-08-07 by Steve Bye

You probably already know this but it makes a difference if you have
"Maximize PSD Compatibility" set. If it is set, whenever you have a layered
file, it saves the layered file and also a flattened version of the file. So
if you have a flat file and add one adjustment layer, that in itself adds
almost nothing to the files size, but the added flattened file will
approximately double the file size. If you add a third adjustment layer the
size will hardly change at all.
