Hey everyone,

Buddy of mine asked me to make a banner for him, for his friend's stag and doe. 5 feet wide, 2 feet high. I used 100 dpi for the image, but the finished image (in tiff format) is 1 gig

How can I shrink the file without losing the quality of the image?

I'm guessing you flattened it right?

What about a max quality jpeg?

What if you put it together in illustrator?

Try flattening the image and saving it out as a PDF.

It's not gonna be a small file by any means, but with a bit of messing with the compression settings you should get it down smaller than 1GB.
