SUMMARY
It's my first time with Krita and I can't seem to find any information about this online so it may be a bug or not. I'm working on a painting with many layers, however it seems to be saving at an unusually large size (Almost 2 GiB and it's 4,421 x 6,000), or at least that's what it's saying. 
I'll attach the .kra and a screenshot to show you the file size Krita is displaying for this file
Thanks

Hi, Luna!

What is exactly your problem? The size displayed by Krita on your screenshot is estimation of the amount of memory Krita needs to work with this file efficiently. When saving to a hard drive, the size of the file will be much smaller, because the data will be compressed.
