Hi … Background is a 10X20 muslim black cloth on a standard frame … it's folder so it extends onto the floor where she is standing.
The photo was not dropped into background … I used a long 10x20 black muslin cloth hung on a standard frame and extended under her footing. all one piece.
I'm using photoshop - menu item - image size pulldown and change the size and dpi
It depends upon my starting file size.
I shoot full size raw photos on a Nikon D850 … always which is resulting in 89 MB .NEF files. Which is weird because the camera is rated at 47MB. I import via Lightroom and export to .DNG files. which run around 35MB each. Then I use Photoshop to remove acne etc. and save as .psd and jpgs.
I process the file then change image size in the drop down menu.
I couldn't find the max file size for UglyHedgehog … I recall reading it when I first posted … I'd appreciate that info. 20MB? or 10?
Toby … some of that might be me … lol I don't like the wrinkles so I sometimes brush them out … might be rushing.
FYI Background is a 10x20 Black Muslin sheet. (I used a small table UNDER the sheet on other shots where she is sitting on the edge or on top of the table.) Some shots were showing hand clamps holding everything in place so they were edited out.
It could be that you are saving all the layers. If you make sure to flatten the image before saving, your file size should be greatly reduced. And if I am understanding you correctly, you are using your applications after the P/S edit. Try using apps like portrait professional first. Keep in mind that everything you do in the apps can be done in P/S without affecting the file size. Then flatten and export to jpg at a quality level of about 8 and add a little sharpening in that step. You will not notice any loss of quality and you can export at any size you want. I routinely drop my 25 or more megabyte RAW files to 8 X 10 and have no problems with it
Yup- great model.
Yup- nice background. Lighten the view a bit to see the texture.
I thought the white line on the left was from the lighting, to remove shadows.
AND if you tell us how you process from shot to screen, we can help with the file size thing.
