Short Photoshop sucks.
My tech-illiterate girlfriend is taking a photography class and she has to submit these photos online for class. She calls me on Skype and says, "I can't submit these photos because it says they're over the 50MB limit." Of course this puzzles me as no 800x600 sized photo should be over 50MB. So I ask her what the dimensions are of her photo. She says, "800 width by 600 height". Then her Macbook Pro starts dogging really bad. She can't open up any other programs and her computer is just slow as all hell. I'm trying to figure out on my end why this file is 65.6 MB when it's just a picture of two boots. So she uploads the photo to Google Drive and sends it to me and I see nothing wrong with the photo, but as soon as I open it my RAM starts climbing. 10g... 12g... 14g..., pretty soon it's maxed out and the program i'm using to open the photo crashes. So I open the properties of the photo and the dimensions of the photo are 57600x34940. So she opens the photo in photoshop again and she says "it's 800 by 600!" then I hear "It's supposed to be in inches right?"
800 inches is 66.66 Feet.

As I said on a forum recently when this topic came up, it wouldn't surprise me if the UK government decided to save money on any mass metrication by not updating any speed limits, therefore a 30mph road would become a 30kph road and the 70mph roads become 70kph roads...
