Reduce PSD file size without compressing

Many a times we need to email or upload a PSD file. The problem we face commonly is the file size of the PSD. Often because of the huge size we are unable to send the file.
There is a magically ( :P ) way to reduce the file size of the PSD file without compressing. Here is how it is done.

Open the PSD file in Photoshop. Note the file size of the PSD. Now, turn off the visibility of all the layers. Hit Save.
Now check the file size of the PSD. You will be shocked to see that the file size has reduced drastically.

Enjoy!
