Have a large file in Photo Shop for a book cover (75+mb) and about 30 levels.. Need to send it to publisher. How is best way, (or one that works). Your guidance appreciated.

Hopefully I'm understanding "and about 75 LAYERS, instead of levels. That file size is not considered big for a publisher, but may well be big for your upload connection. I send many that size and usually transport a "zipped" file.

I believe PS uses the extension .psd. You might need to convert it to .jpg or .jpeg...unless you know otherwise.

If you have Gmail. You can add google drive, that will give you to 15gig's of cyber storage and play room. I just sent a file 42Megs, and had no problem. It will down load it to the cloud drive, then deliver when you host down loads it. It was a PSD file.

Ask your publisher if he wants it sent by FTP - if he does he will give you instructions and the FTP address.

By this time you have waited at least one day. you can send it in three days by mail, in a disc? The other alternative is FTP , which is the usual way for companies. They must give you the instructions or use a zip disc and use mail.

SendYourFiles is not too bad at $10 a month. From its site, you send an email and attach a folder or file from your computer up to 2GB. It is FTP, however and can be slow with files over 50MB.

I used wetransfer.com, Free and works well with large files usually. While it sent the file, they arrived "flat" not in layers. Recipient requested them in adobe psd of tiff, but still a problem. Recip't could not separate the levels. Still working on this. Maybe this time!! Thanks to all for your responses. Any other thoughts?? I'll let you know how it works out, and why!!

Latest update: Sent for third/fourth time in Wetransfer, and successfully got the whole file of 200+MB to them in "layers" they can use for the cover. Not sure what was the difference between the previous tries, but it finally "worked".. Thanks for your collective helps! Jer
