Have you saved it (i.e. if you're looking at the space used by the 
running image, it will be bigger than the on-disk version).

If you have, perhaps you have a memory leak. Do you have any global 
(including class side) collections that may be hanging on to things? 
Have you closed down your Whisker browsers, done a GC, and saved?

Have you imported a lot of images?
