A maths question
Discussion
This will entertain the more tecchy readers.
Yesterday I took a JPG image measuring 2560 x 1920 pixels and 2.5Mb in filesize, opened it in PS and went to crop it to 1500px longest side.
In just a few seconds my computer filled all available space (about 200Gb) with temp files and locked up. I'd set it to 1500" not pixels
What size file was it trying to make?

Note file size on disk is compressed ( jpg or psd etc). File size in photoshop is not compressed, its the equivalent of bitmap , it tells you how big a file is in the status bar at the bottom ( well how much memory being used). A 20mp ~23meg raw file I have open (and nothing else, layers etc) is using 110meg of memory

You need a slower computer. One that would take a few hours to fill the disk and so give you time to realise there might be a mistake and kill the process.I have a couple I could offer if you are interested ....
