Save File Size

[serefatilla]

Hi!

Is it a bad thing for me to do these simple steps below before saving the project in order to free up my disc space?

1- Clean the project (File > Clean)
2- Set All materials' size to 512.
3- Bake All texture sets with 512 resolution.

I am prety sure first two step is ok but not sure about the third one. When I re-open my file, I just redo the whole process in reverse order with higher resolutions.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, bakes take up a lot of space in the file as they are stored in uncompressed 16 bits format, so lower resolution bakes will heavily impact the file size.
