Re: [Digital BW] Hard drive for Swap file

2002-11-17 by Jim Coffee

Hi Cleavis...
On my PhotoShop 6, you go Edit, Preferences, Scratch Disk.
I run my scratch disk at about 5 gig.  Seems to be enough.  I regularly work
with 50M image files.

Should you do it?  I think that it is very useful to know where the scratch
disk is and how much is being consumed.  Nothing worse than getting into the
heat of modifying an image and running out of scratch disk.
