Looking for a little advice, I've been asked by a local racer to make a poster for one of his sponsors, a local casino. So I design this thing to be 20 x30 in PS Elements and it ends up being 154.5 mb, my print shop Adorama Pix has a 60 mb limit I believe, so my question is can I get away with just reducing the file size of the complete poster( it has three different photos in it), or do I need to reduce each photo in it and reassemble it, to maintain best quality. Thanks Will

So your final image dimensions are 20x30"?

154mb does seem a bit large for that kinda print... is t he 154mb file still a layered PS document? if so you would want to flatten the image and SAVE AS a JPG file. The file size should then reduce bigtime.

I printed a bunch of 20x30s last week and my files were no where near that size... good luck and keep us updated
