Photoshop problem: Scratch Disks

-Matt


PS i use Photoshop CS

I've gotten that message when I:
-have too many files open in Photoshop
-have been using Photoshop for too long

My best solution is just shut down Photoshop and re-start it. Problem goes away.

If you get the message a lot, the hard drive containing Program Files may not have enough room.

You can usually see this as the available space on your main hard drive decreases as you use Photoshop during a single session. Once you close Photoshop, the available space returns to normal.

You may not have (a) enough memory to be running the program. How much RAM do you have on your computer? or (b) your harddrive may be nearing capacity. What size HD do you have and how many Gs do you have remaining?

When you crop, be sure you add the PX for pixels because if you leave that out and just do 1024 (for example) it thinks it's inches and well, you probably won't have enough space to work with a 1024 inch wide image.

I normally just enter 1024 and hit enter, works like a charm
