Hey guys , I made a post earlier in the 3d max section regarding an I/O memory error and hdri problem. I eventually realised that the file size was way too large (200mb +). Ive tried reducing the file size in photoshop, the same as I would normally reduce a jpg / save as > then the option to reduce quality. (as you can see im not too savy in this programme) But the option isnt there when I go to save it, so has anyone got any ideas? cheers.

Hi guys, I've just got back into 3d max and decided to start using vray and HDRI. I put my backplate in, set my cameras etc, Then I try to put the actual hdri into the environment slot. When I try to do this it comes up with "image I/O error" it states the file location then underneath then "memory error". I know the hdri files are pretty big but my computer isnt too bad.( Im running intel i7 quadcore and 4gb ram). Any suggestions as why this is happening and is there a way around this problem. Thanks in advance
