Scratch disk in Photoshop
I have designed a price list for a client. The work was done in Photoshop CS2 and I noticed as I was working that my project was taking longer to save. Eventually I got a pop-up notice informing me that the scratch disk was full. I have investigated this and discovered that photoshop requires plenty of RAM. My hard disk is now full and photoshop refuses to allow me to correct any mistakes.
Can anyone explain what the 'scratch disk' is and perhaps suggest how I can correct this annoying problem.

If you have so little space on your computer it maybe wise to place files onto external media such as CVC or external H/D your computer needs aboout 5gig of H/D space to fuction.. - Contact in PM

1. Run Photoshop
2. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Performance
3. Click (mark) on your most empty and defragment Scratch Disk.
4. Use little arrows on the frame to move it on top of other disks ( if you have any)
It is recommended scratch disk to be other than the system disk where operation system is installed.
If you don't have other than system disk you have no options but to free up some space and split the disk in to two partitions. One for the scratch and other for the OS and all your programs and files.
If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.
Luck.
