Help with Photoshop Scratch Disks
Hi all, I'm having a problem opening a .psd file in photoshop, it comes up with an error message saying something like "cannot open file because the scratch disks are full" The file is only around 20Mb and I have no other files open. I have no idea what to do, please help.
If you think you can or think you can't...you're right. |

It is already on the hard drive, it when I'm trying to reopen it that im having problems, I'm starting to wonder if the file is corrupt.

 Kiwi, you could check your scratch-disk settings in photoshop. Many who live deserve death, some who die deserve life - can you give it to them? Then be not so quick to deal out death in judgement. |

It's not a special disk, it's the way photoshop names the disk where it writes the temporary information.

I was just passing through on my way somewhere else,
and saw this. Hope I'm not to late to help. From Adobe Online Help: "When your system does not have enough RAM to perform an operation, Photoshop and ImageReady use a proprietary virtual memory technology, also called scratch disks. A scratch disk is any drive or a partition of a drive with free memory. By default, Photoshop and ImageReady use the hard drive that the operating system is installed on as its primary scratch disk." To correct this error: Scratch Disk is Full. (This is a question on the ACE exam) Brought to you by your friendly little Photoshop  Wizard.Se ya later... |
