Which tutorial are you using?

I used Morganators and it doesn't mention downsampling.

If you want email me the copy you are using and then I can explain it properly to you

I checked my walkthrough and it was an older version.
Kai sent me the copy he was using and it is in the new copy.

Downsampling is basically taking a .pss file and replacing and renaming it with a smaller .pss file

For example if I had a file called movies.pss that was 48mb and another called
cars.pss that was 4mb.
I would delete the movies.pss file, make a copy of cars.pss and rename it movies.pss.
So the movies.pss should now be a 4mb file but will be a valid movie file.
