- import .png file (1920x1080 mostly)
- crop it to small image, say 40x40
- scale it up to 1200x1200
Now, when I import the original .png, I see a size of 19.3MB in the status area (I attach screenshot to be sure we talk about the same thing) - this seems weird to me given the original .png is 950kb...
I crop this down to 51x52 image and see a size of 8.3MB.
The Cropt tool behavior has changed recently, by default it doesn't delete the cropped pixels, it just makes the canvas smaller but the layers keep their initial content. So when you scale the 40 × 40 image 30x to 1200 × 1200, you are really scaling the initial image, so 1920 × 1080 becomes 57600 × 32400, almost 2Gpx.
In the Crop tool options, make sure that you check the "Delete cropped pixels" box. This tells you how you can make this permanent.
Thank you so much, it worked!!
