Adobe Photoshop: "Scratch Disk is full" Error Solved

When you open or create a file in Adobe Photoshop, you may encounter an error that says "Scratch Disk is full."

The solution is easy.

Specify one or more hard drive partitions that have enough free space--approximately three to five times the file size of the largest image and at least ten times the size of the largest bitmap-mode image--as scratch disks. Don't specify a network drive or removable media such as a Zip or JAZ drive. Photoshop 6.x can create 200 GB of scratch disk files on up to four hard disk partitions; Photoshop 7.0 can create an unlimited number of scratch disk files, limited only by hard disk space.

To set the Scratch Disk preference:

  1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Plug-Ins & Scratch Disks.
  2. Choose the drive that has the most free space from the First pop-up menu.
  3. Choose a second, third, or fourth drive, if available, from the Second, Third, or Fourth pop-up menus.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Restart Photoshop.

I do haѵe 2 quеstions foг уou if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it give the impression like a few of these remarks look as if they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of your social community pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
