Hi guys

I'm trying to open a series od PSD's in Photoshop but after 2 I'm getteing an error saying could not complete you request because the sctach disks are full

Never seen this before

Restarting and turning off leaving a while and the starting up has not changed anything

Any ideas?

Garry

Mr R,

Rgds,

Cheers Colin

I deleted some temp files and did the trick

TBH I didn't think of it as a Photoshop problem and was checking disks

Garry

Yo Garry..

Have a look on your system and find a really empty drive then allocate this (from within Photoshop) as your scratch disc. In Elements, it's under EDIT\Preferences\Plug-Ins & Scratch Discs

Hi mate

Good idea but I only have the one drive

Or am I being a dunce?

Garry

Ah.. ok mate. I presumed you'd got the 'ex' striped drives in too When you do get that far.. at least you know what to do I have seen the same warning but not for a long time. I found working with text (manipulating).. especially large text on what might be an already large background gives system resources a right pasting and the facility to nominate a scratch disc is a godsend (it uses that area for 'Open' files)

HI Mate

Yep I have three working HD's.....on the PC .....ITB and 2x80GB

But .....this is the laptop the only machine I can spend more than a few minuets on

I haven;t had this problem before and had all the ones I wanted open before the machin went on auto standby and wouldn't wake up without a restart

Garry

Ah bugger.. I'll get there in the end Didn't think about the laptop

I guess that with only one drive, you're up S creek without a paddle and the only thing you can do is so what you did.. make more room Anyway, on a default install.. it doesn't allocate scratch discs, this you have to do yourself which is fine if you have a humongous install drive.. less so if you don't

I think it was just a one off screw up.

It opened far more than this before and is opening them fine now.

Before it would only open two

I have 6 PSD open for the CL-44 between 50MB and 400MB.I have had all 14 psd of that project plus maybe 50 reference Jpeg open at once without any probs

Basically I have always opened as many as I want up to the max of 100 without a hint of protest which is why I thought just two was a bit unusual.

Garry

Yup.. it could be that something has stayed put for whatever reason cutting your virtual and actual memory down hence the warning. From what you've said, it sounds like a 'one off'
