Re: [Digital BW] Puzzled by PS scratch drives

2005-03-22 by Bob Frost

Scott,

1GB isn't very big for a scratch file; the image may have several layers and 
all those different history states to remember. The default is 20 history 
states; I use 50 and others use even more. Open a couple of files at the 
same time, use the file browser, and the scratch file can easily get to 4GB.

"Not only that, but if you're on a Win Machine you're limited to 3.99
GB per single file size unless you format the scratch drive in NTFS

Just curious Steve, has that ever been a problem with you?
Even 1 gb is a huge file.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
