February 17, 200521 yr Ive finally gotten to a point where I need to start sliming down some things to get my image under 700 mb (yea yea.. i dont have a dvd burner..) and noticed that the photoshop source takes up nearly as much as mu i386 folder! Weighing in at 158MB I need to find a way to slim this down.. Ive tried simply rar'ing it up but even with WinRAR's best compresion it only got down to 130MB or something...So.. anyone have a solution to slimming this bad boy down?Thanks!
February 17, 200521 yr i tried to do this already but due to the already high compressed usedby adobe u can only save like 1 - 3 mb at most.
February 17, 200521 yr yeah agreed. It'd be cool to trim it down, but you'd have to physically remove stuff from the Photoshop install. The installation (and most other Adobe installs from the CS family) is HIGHLY compressed, and can't squeeze much more out of it.
February 18, 200521 yr I don't use this software, but I have a suggestion for you guys. The installer is an msi, right? How about creating an aip, and shrinking it from there?
February 19, 200521 yr I tried something similar before and u save have a whopping 2 mb or 3 mb max overthe original.LOL
February 19, 200521 yr The photoshop installation I have comes with Adobe ImageReady CS, which I rarely use... So if your on the same boat as me, perhaps look into removing that from the installation?
February 19, 200521 yr Now that sounds like and idea.But when u install Adobe Photoshop CS it does NOT give u the optionnot to install ImageReady w/c seems very strange.In the event we cannot remove ImageReady. Maybe we can make a MSTfile for Photoshop CS so that it will only install Photoshop and not ImageReady just a thought.
February 19, 200521 yr I've got my Photoshop CS installation down to 98.8 MB. I used InstallRite to monitor my installation then create an InstallKit. The subsequent InstallKit (.exe) installs Photoshop, ImageReady and the Eye Candy 4000 filters. Give it a go. Using InstallRite is not a very good method if you constantly change or update the software, however I use it for Winamp, ACDSee, Adobe Photoshop CS and other programs that rarely update or ones that I prefer the older versions of.InstallRite Download
February 19, 200521 yr Photoshop isn't a Windows Installer file though. Technically its InstallScript, so you can't make a transform for it.
February 19, 200521 yr Really? Then if it's installscript, we can use the record mode and get the setup.iss. But the problem is still the compression, because we can't make an aip. Hehehehe.. I'm really curious about this software. I will try to borrow a cd from my friend so I can try it myself.
