By the time I finish putting together a page in PSE 3 I end up with a file that is upwards of 90 MB! The Organizer can't even pull up a thumbnail of it because the files are so big. I don't want to have to flatten all my pages, but at this rate I have no choice. It's the only way to keep them smaller files. Does this happen to everyone? What's the normal size of a completed page with layers still intact? Thanks!

mine go anywhere from 20mb to 180mb - I create at 12x12 300dpi but usually print at 8x8

It's a fact of life with PSE. You'll have to make the choice whether to flatten the files or store the finished layouts on CD's, DVD's or an external hard drive.
