1. Re: Quick question - bottom of photoshop window
addflo Jun 24, 2010 6:39 AM (in response to MattBru)Adobe says that the numbers represent the amount of data in an image. The first one is for print sizes, "approximately the size of the saved, flattened file in Adobe Photoshop format" (i.e. PSD). The second one indicates the file's approximate size, including layers and channels.
Now to explain this: they said approximately. That means that what is displayed is somewhat near reality. You have to take into account that the files you save might be without file compatibility, or the flattened files might be JPGs with compression. So they will never match. It's just used as a guideline. I don't believe I;ve ever used that option.
You might use it if you work mainly for the web. The flattened file is what will be displayed on the web so you could use it as a guideline.
And yes, the icon of a paper represents an Unmanaged File!

MattBru Jun 24, 2010 7:19 AM (in response to addflo)Thanks for the response. I was just curious.
I also found this:

Unmanaged file - i was asking what it is... i looked it up and i guess its something to do with Version Cue, and i dont know what that is so i guess it just doesnt matter.
Thanks.

addflo Jun 24, 2010 7:32 AM (in response to MattBru)It refers to color profiles set as standard into Photoshop not matching the color profile of the opened image or an image file with no color profile.
You can use Bridge to set standard color spaces to the entire Adobe Suite without opening every app and setting it manually. That's what Version Cue is used for in this case.

Noel Carboni Jun 24, 2010 8:05 AM (in response to MattBru)By the way, you can click that little button to the RIGHT of the file size info, and pull up a menu that will allow you to choose other, different info to be displayed.
I find it particularly handy to see the document dimensions (which I have set to read out in pixels).
