Display file information in the document window
The status bar is located at the bottom of every document window and displays useful information—such as the current magnification and file size of the active image, and brief instructions for using the active tool. The status bar also displays Version Cue information if you have Version Cue enabled.
Note: You can
also view copyright and authorship information that has been added to
the file. This information includes standard file information
and Digimarc watermarks. Photoshop automatically scans opened images
for watermarks using the Digimarc Detect Watermark plug‑in. If a
watermark is detected, Photoshop displays a copyright symbol in
the image window’s title bar and updates the Copyright & URL area
of the File Info dialog box.

File information view options when Version Cue is enabled
- Choose a view option from the pop‑up menu:
Note: If you have Version Cue enabled, choose from the Show submenu.
- Version Cue
- Displays the Version Cue workgroup status of your document, such as open, unmanaged, unsaved, and so forth. This option is available only if you have Version Cue enabled.
- Document Sizes
- Information on the amount of data in the image. The number on the left represents the printing size of the image—approximately the size of the saved, flattened file in Adobe Photoshop format. The number on the right indicates the file’s approximate size, including layers and channels.
- Document Profile
- The name of the color profile used by the image.
- Document Dimensions
- The dimensions of the image.
- Measurement Scale
- The scale of the document.
- Scratch Sizes
- Information on the amount of RAM and the scratch disk used to process the image. The number on the left represents the amount of memory currently being used by the program to display all open images. The number on the right represents the total amount of RAM available for processing images.
- Efficiency
- The percentage of time actually spent performing an operation instead of reading or writing to the scratch disk. If the value is below 100%, Photoshop is using the scratch disk and is therefore operating more slowly.
- Timing
- The time it took to complete the last operation.
- Current Tool
- The name of the active tool.
- 32‑bit Exposure
- Option for adjusting the preview image for viewing 32‑bits-per-channel high dynamic range (HDR) images on your computer monitor. The slider is available only when the document window displays an HDR image.
