I'm working with a large file for print and it's 2.07G with layers, and I'm getting the error when attempting to save the file that it's over the 2GB maximum. I'm not seeing .psb in the dropdown menu for saving large files. Any guidance on how to get around this and save the file? I checked Preferences: File Handling and don't see anything useful there...
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the speedy replies! I reinstalled Photoshop CC and the Large Format Document is now in my Save menu.
Cheers!

It should be in there under large photoshop document. If not, which for reason it sounds like it isn't, you can save a layered Tiff up to 4GB in size.

Thanks BR, not seeing large photoshop doc. Also, tried saving as Tiff and it gave error saying file is over max 4GB size, which isn't the case it's slightly over 2GB.... odd, any thoughts?

Well, Tiff tends to be pretty large - larger than a PSD. If you don't mind loosing layers, you could try saving as Photoshop Raw. Otherwise, I really don't know what to suggest. It's very strange that PSB isn't there...

Yeah, it's odd, will reinstall photoshop cc and see if it clears issue... thanks

You might try a reset before re installing: Press Cmd+Opt+Shift (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win) immediately after initiating Photoshop startup. Select "yes" when prompted. You have to be fast to get the keys pressed before Photoshop starts opening.
Please check back to let us know what works!

That didn't work at all for me, and I'm not seeing an option for large format docs.

Yeah, me either. I can't save a large PSD file. What kind of nonsense is this? I worked 2 hours on a PSD and got an error message that the larger than 2GB PSD file could not be saved. That is horrid software programming. I have other photo software to try now. You must, must fix this. You also need to add vignetting as its own menu option in Adjustments. Vignetting is very important in photography. Your current method of using a radial gradient is poor. And it only works in ACR.
