durex Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 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!

Astalavista Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totoymola Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 hahahahahI only noticed Shrink Photoshop Cs Source?, ehem...Asta...ehem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keytotime Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 The Aip is huge for acrobat 7 it is 480 mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 maybe after 7zip and optimizing the iso... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I tried something similar before and u save have a whopping 2 mb or 3 mb max overthe original.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rompom7 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se7eNdUsT Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Installrite is ok for applications that DONT hv a silent install switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Photoshop isn't a Windows Installer file though. Technically its InstallScript, so you can't make a transform for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 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.
