how to make a cross from scratch. I'll put my own design to it, but I simply do not how to go about making something in Photoshop from scratch. Some people make items that do not look like paint, but look like a 3d Cross.Is this done with Photoshop or something else I wish my college offered classes for Photoshop, but they do not. Everything is Computer Science, and Math.

I want to make a block to automate the design of typical cross-bracing connection plates relative to the angle of the x-brace. Since the angle varies from one structure to another, I need a quick way to draw these.
Make a dynamic block that would locate to the intersection of the beam and the x-brace. Then I'd adjust a "rotating reference line" from the block to align with the x-brace and then offset the plate edge to mate with the beam web. Sounds easy, but...
The parts that I need dynamic are:
1) the edge of the plate that mates to the beam web (since different beams have differing web thicknesses - this needs to be adjustable).
2) the edge of the beam flange (to make the line type hidden below the beam flange)
3) the rotation of the reference line to align with the cross brace line (so the holes are properly aligned)
I was originally trying to achieve this with a rotate parameter, but had no luck. So I just thought of replacing the rotate parameter with a polar stretch parameter and it's the closest I've been to resolving the problem, but there's still a funny quirk. When I align the reference line in the block to the cross brace angle, the two other adjustments (web and flange locators) rotate too and become skewed. How can I keep those other two beam adjustments horizontal?
I am trying to annotate a floor plan to show the location/orientation of section, elevation and detail drawings. The labels must also indicate the appropriate drawing cross reference. (basically a circle with a arrow, text inside circle showing drawing cross reference). My question is - is there an automated way/library to insert such labels or do I have to create each of them from individual elements and make a block?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently bought an SSD (sandisk 120GB) which i have installed windows on. i have another 500gb internal drive which is empty and am wondering whether i should install photoshop on the 500gb drive and put the scratch disk on the SSD or the other way round.
View 4 Replies View Relatedhow an SSD differs from a regular hard drive, there is no drop in performance when your stratch disk is assigned to the same SSD containing your Photoshop app.. I heard this setup is much faster than the conventional setup of having your app and scratch disk on separate hard drives.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just built my new rig (Asus p9x79 pro, 32GB 1600Mhz DDR3, Intel 3820, old GTX285 1GB, Win7 pro.....many hard drives ) as I am working on a very big project producing 440x240cm200ppi digital drawings to be installed as lightbox artworks at the same size.
My old system just could not cope with the demands I was putting on it as It only had 12gb RAM. I have two scratch disks set up x1 30gb SSD (dedicated) and x1 240gb SSD ( has other stuff on it with 75gb free ). I am also using Photoshop CS5 Extended (updated) with RAM usage set to 80% (23976).
While I realise PS will still make use of the scratch disk despite the amount of RAM I was shocked to see the first drive (30gb) was almost full with 5gb space left when I loaded the PSB file with x9 layers. Looking at the meta data in Bridge it tells me the file size is 6.90GB with pixel dimensions of 34646x18898@200ppi. Windows reports that I am only using 20GB of my 32GB..
Shouldn't PS be using more RAM before going to the slower reads on a SSD? Windows Task Manager tells me I have 8150 RAM cached, 12310 RAM Available and 4215 RAM Free. If Photoshop is not using the 12GB would it be wise to make a 9GB RAM DISK for an addition boost...not even sure if that would work, but, I hate the feeling of having all that RAM and 1/3 not being used.
On my system I have a 120Gb SSD with programs (40GB free) and a 3TB HDD for all my photo files.
Looking at the settings in CS6 it seems as if it has automatically selected my SSD for the scratch folder although in the hints it suggests that the scratch folder should not be your boot drive, however, the fastest drive is probably best. What do you recommed? leave it as it is or change the scratch to the HDD?
I intend to acquire ps cs4 andi have a 64 bit machine with 32gb of ram...problem is it would be difficult for me to set up a different scratch disc...how much ram would one need in order to see no benefit from a scratch disc ?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI added a second hard drive and would like to know how to best set it up for use as a scratch disk.
The default in the Plug-Ins & Scratch Disks dialogue box was:
First: Startup
Second: None
Third: None
Fourth: None
I'm wondering if I should change the first to the new drive or keep it as "startup" and add the new drive to second.
This is my first post, and I was hoping someone can help me out. I'm looking to add a seperate internal HD to use as the Photoshop Scratch exclusively. I'am considering the WD Raptor 36GB SATA 16MB 10000RPM.
My question is: Size-wise, will 36GB be enough?
I'm on a budget. I can almost get 2 x 160GB SATA 7200 for the price of the 1 x Raptor 36GB, so I really want to be sure I'm doing the rigth thing and aiming for speed.
My Set-Up would then be:
Internal 1: 320 GB 7200 (main drive / programs & system installations)
Internal 2: 36 GB Rapter (photoshop scratchdisc exclusive)
External 1: 500 GB Mybook (all documents)
I have a Mac Pro, with more than one HD. When I try to assign the other drive as the Scratch disk, and relaunch PS, I get the dreaded "can't access disk". I then have to remove prefs. and my Scratch disk no longer appears.

Has anyone tried SSD's as a scratch disk. Any 'real world' experiences out there?
watching the hourglass spin on another batch (open 1GB file, downsample to 20MB, save as tif) I'm wondering if the use of a RAM drive like the I-ram (4GB PCI SSD or ?) as my primary PS scratch would speed up a process like this. I do a ton of this kind of stuff. Presently I'm using a 35GB 10k Ultra SCSI for scratch. Most of the time is spent on disk grinding as the Task Manager shows about a 7-35% processor hit at any given time and PS scratch remains @ around 1.7GB. Also, would it be faster to include a "purge all" step in a batch like this?

My problem is this; I want to add scratches to my image, but I can't find a scratch tutorial or plugin for Photoshop anywhere. When searching, I can only find tutorials on how to remove scratches, but I want to do the opposite..
I have Photoshop CS3 (and Windows Vista) and just recently every time I attempt to crop, it gives me the error message that my scratch disks is full. I went into my Preferences and put my C: drive as my first choice (which is only about 10 percent full) and my D: drive as my second. I have a new HP with the D: drive being the recovery portion of the hard drive. I have gone in and cleaned it out. I have restarted both Photoshop and my computer. I read online that you can clean out all of the temp files but it did not say where to locate them. I have searched for "#pst" files. I also can't find my "Local Settings" (because Vista still confuses me) to find temp folders. The only temp folders, I can find has nothing to do with Photoshop.

View 2 Replies View Relatedmy computer got a lil virus, I had to system restore. Virus gone, BUT, seems as though my Photoshop kind of reset itself. Becuase when I opened it, the template was different (I used to have only 2 windows on the right, it reset itself to open with 4 windows) and when I used to create a new file the background was the transparent checkered pattern, and now it's just a plan white background, so something obviously reset.
THat's cool, no problem there. So I go to create a new photo, and I use a VERY simple too, I use the Paint Bucket to fill a 500x500 image, Photoshop has a lilttle load bar come up so it can LOAD to fill my little space, and if i let it sit, it will eventually say "Scratch Disk is Full".
Now, I've gone online to see how to fix that. I've found multiple FAQ sites. And this is what I've done to still no avail:
1. I've gone into Preferences and set the Scratch Disk location to my C:// drive that it previously was.
2. Set it so that 100% of my RAM can be used for Photoshop
3. Defragmented my C:// Drive
4. Searched for any ~PSD temp files, my computer said it found none.
When I attempt to load photoshop,
A pop up box appears saying that the selected scratch disks are almost full,
and there are 4 drop down boxes: First, Second, Third, Fourth.
With the "First", with either Startup or C drive selected, photoshop won't load.
This pop up box has never appeared before.
So, when I press ok on this box, photoshop continues to load for a few seconds then it states that it cannot continue loading because there was an error that it couldn't recover from!
There are no PST temporary files located on my computer,
And it isn't the "working with large image" problem because I don't even GET to open photoshop in the first place!
I am now working with 10megapixel images, just basic post processing i.e. saturation, curves, and sharpening.
My question is as follows.
I have a 1.6ghz dell laptop, with 1gb ram, and 80gb hd with about 32gb free.
Sometimes when batch processing (50 to 100 photos) at once, Ill get the scratch disk full error. I know its not a good idea to have the scratch and OS on the same drive, but not much I can do about it. I'm thinking about getting another gig of ram to bring me up to a total of 2gb, and a 500gb external hard drive. I can move the photos (about 20gigs worth) to the external, then i'd have about 50gigs free on my internal. I know an external is not the best for scratch, but again it will only be if I use the 50gb on my internal first. I will eventually have to get another HD anyway for these huge images.
So will a total of 2gb ram, 50gigs free on internal for primary scratch, and the remainder of my 500gb external for secondary scratch, give me a noticeable improvement?
I am getting a "Scratch disk almost full" message when I start up PS.
I'm using v7.0 on XP.
The first disk offers me the option of C:/ or Startup.
When I select startup it complains its almost full but I can't find out where it is so I can empty it!
If I select C:/ it complains about sharing with windows and I don't know how to offer any further alternative.
I want to draw a picture of an artist's paint brush from scratch.
can anyone direct me to any tutorials so that I can achieve:
1). Simulate wood grain patterns
2). create bristles
3). creating chrome and/or enhancing chrome in an existing photo
I've got a problem with Photoshop CS3.
It says that my scratch disks are full. I had it one time when I started PS, and now when I'm brushing.
