[Solved] V6.7.1 image files growing
Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2017 5:15 pm
Hi-
I realize that this is an old version of GC that I'm running (6.7.1). I am willing to update if that will fix the problem, but I am still on OSX 10.6.8, and need to be for now due to some other software compatibility issues.
Recently, my GC 6.7.1 has begun making image files that I work on much larger than it used to.
One example is if I have a new image in a folder, and it doesn't yet have a preview in the browser, and I chose the Create Preview option, the file size jumps from a 48k image to over 200k.
Another example is resizing images, I used to take an image that was 2.9Mb, 9478x6335 pixels, and resize it to 800x535, and I'd get a file that was about 200k at 80% quality. Now when I do that, I get a 962k file.
What would be causing this? How can I fix it?
Thanks.
