I am working with files in photoshop through my extrenal hard drive. The files that I am working with are 460Mb each. One of the problem I usually get when I create more than one layer is that my scratch disk is full.
My laptop hard drive free space is only 5 Giga. I wonder if I can preform an action in photoshop saying that my temporary work will be stored on my external hard drive and not on my laptop hard drive.
Is it possible to ask Photoshop to save TIFF images using tile internal storage rather than strip storage? A little-known setting, a registry patch perhaps?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am unable to open a 1.7 mb file in photoshop 6. I had it opened about 3 weeks ago but made no changes. I downloaded a new copy of the file thinking my version was corrupted but no luck. I am running windows xp, 2.8 ghz celeron and just installed an additional 2gb of ram.
 Naturally, photoshop is the only program i had running after a restart aside from the minimal startup windows nonsense. Short of buying a mac or the latest version of photoshop, what can I do? Many thanks for any input. On a side note, I am able to open a 4.8 mb companion file to the one in question. Both are .psd files.
Here are the specs on my hardware;
iMac 27" (2011)
OS X 10.8.4
HD 2Tb (1.2Tb Free)
12Gb RAM
3.4 GHz i7 processor
No other applications running and Photoshop has access too 100% of the RAM.
I'm having a problem with my recently installed copy of PS CS6 (with the latest update).
My system: PC with Intel Core i3-540 (not over-clocked: 3.06GHz) and 4GB RAM running Windows XP SP3. The graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD5450.
The problem: When I first launch Bridge and CS6, everything is working fine. But after 10 minutes or so, ACR starts acting up. Specifically, edits become increasingly sluggish and ultimately the image won't transfer into PS. Instead, I receive the message: "Could not complete the Open As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)".
I do not have any other programs open (aside from Bridge) when this happens.I would have thought that 4GB of RAM would be a sufficient amount of memory.
I am not using the boot drive as the PS scratch drive.
Two more bits of information: (1) I have the Memory Usage slider set to 80%; (2) Cache value is 1,024.
I just tarted using Photoshop CC - even without any files open - it was still using 4.5GB of memory! isnt this a "bit" excessive?
i am using Windows 7 Ultimate, with 8GB of RAM.
Photoshop CS6 runs away with memory after being used and then going idle. If I open up PS and leave it, it will be ok but as soon as I open any file it will go up in memory usage (which is normal) but when I close all files and hide PS the memory will stay high never goes back down. When I close PS and re-open (no files open) again it idles at 300Mb memory but when I open a file then close it and then hide/idle PS it raises and stays around 1.25-1.5 GB if not more.
I have tried to Purge All, and even hide all menus to no avail. I have even tried to close Suitcase (eliminate any font issues) and still same problem. I am running PS bone stock, no extra plug-ins.
My Computer:
Photoshop 13.0.1
MacBookPro
OS 10.6.8
CPU: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mem: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
HD: 300GB (30GB Free)
I installed Photoshop CS6 64-bit on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.When it starts, these two messages are displayed: Unable to open a virtual memory file because the file is locked. You do not have permission or the file is being used by another program.
Unable to initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. You do not have permission or the file is being used by another program.
I accidentally deleted some photos from a memory card. I recovered them using software called "Recover My Files". This software recovered the files but now I can't open them in CS3. I took these with an old Canon Rebel DSLR and they should not need converting, they opened fine before I deleted them.

I hit the recover button and starts to load the file but after a while comes up with an error saying "FATAL ERROR: Out of memory - shutting down." Is the file just corrupted? My memory isn't even being used. Specs are i7-2600 3.40 ghz, 16gb ram and sli nvidia 570 gtx cards.
I've also tried the recover command, but it did the same thing.
There was a second drawing they sent me too, but it comes up with a fatal error 0x0050. I've attached both drawings.
I've been working on an image for about 4 hours... (PHOTO PAINT X4) The screen is now frozen with a small box saying ''out of memory'' I haven't saved the file for a few hours. Or has all this work now gone. I now also have this message with no text, what it might be and which button I should press!? Or is there some sort of shortcut to save.

Lightroom 5.0 fails to detect memory card and open import dialog. This has always worked fine in Lightroom 4, 3,and 2. Same cards, same camera, same iMac using OS X 10.8.4. Manual importing works OK, card is detected just fine.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using corel x3 a long time but never, never had this kind of problem. When i work in corel enviorenment after i have finished my work i go to save my work. But then is the problem It Saves the file with Large Memory on it. let's say if the file normally would be 200 K, now it saves with 3 MB. And if i import some other files in my work then the saved file will be even bigger. If i Delete the files that were imported The Saved File will be Again the same SIZE ! Even if a take one part of the file, let's say if i import only one small text and put it in another file and save it like that, the saved file will be 2 MB. I had a lots of problems, i had saved files on this way with 23-24 MB and when i open them it takes like forever. When you look that file in corel it has nohing in it, absolutely nothing that should be 24 MB. But all of my important work is in that files how to make all things back to normal again,
View 9 Replies View RelatedI do have problem with my newly installed CorelDraw X5. Before X5 we used Corel 12 in our company.
I have project file (150 MB) with lots of text, bitmaps, vectors - about 100 pages. File opens but I can't save it. I always get OUT OF MEMORY error. I even tried to divide this file into 2 smaller parts but still doesn't work.
What I noticed - Corel X5 after clean start (without opened project) takes about 80MB of RAM in task manager. When I open project usage changes from 80MB to 1,2GB. While saving it takes 1,6GB of RAM and it crashes.
To compare - Corel 12 and after opening same project file Corel 12 takes much less of memory - about 770MB and it works without problem.
Where from comes this memory usage difference?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been looking for a way to store gigabytes of photos external to my laptop, preferably network-attached.
I don't want to bash this product as it does fit some applications well, but my experience loading photos stored on a WD Worldbook is way too slow. About 20 times longer than a photo on a local hard drive.
Maybe the way to go is ESATA attached disk, but before I go there, is anyone getting good results using an affordable network storage device in a home office environment? e.g., something in the $1,500 range or below?
Here's another backup question, has anybody used online storage? Does anybody know of any good companies to use, I'm looking for 400GB for myself, and 400GB for my husband. Is this feasable, does it cost a fortune, and what about security, people having access to my data?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI purchased a Bamboo Create and I have had nothing but, problems with the Adobe software that came in it. The other software works fine. However, Adobe thinks I should upgrade immeditaely even though I just spent $200 to the new Elements. In fact before 11 came out, I could not manage my photos because being locked out since I would not upgrade to 10. Now, I cannot get Elements to work to even manage storage because my online 2gb is full but yet I do not want all of those photos online. I want to delete many of them. But, Adobe keeps pushing the page to upgrade to 11, and then my elements 9 locks up and stop responding because it says that my online is full. 2GB what a chinchy amount of storage that is. This software does not work from the get go due to the Inspiratation Browser update with the Adobe Air debackle.
I have been thinking about going to 11, but I should not be forced to and the software that I just purchased should work. I had not realized how greedy Adobe was/is.
how to make the software that I just purchased work? how to manage my online storage without upgrading to 11. As soon as I upgrade to 11, Adobe will just come out with another $80 to $100 upgrade that I will hae to buy or else 11 will stop working.
What is the most safest file format for storing image data? I am thinking in terms of drive failure. Suppose you have a precious picture and you do not want it to be corrupted by a single bit failure by the drive.My undestanding is saving an image in a compressed format is most insecure because failure of a few bits can lead to gross decompression problems. My other understanding is that RAW formats that store the individual pixels are the safest. Consider 2 situations:
1. The RAW file header becomes corrupted. You can still recover data by interpolating and "guesstimating" from the existing data.
2. Actual image data becomes corrupted in a certain region of the file. You can interpolate around the lost areas to recover the image.
There are no tools that I know of that are designed to specifically accomplish 1 and 2. Honestly, if I had a precious picture, I would save it in RAW format in 2 or 3 different physical drives. Also, are there tools to recover data from corrupted photoshop psb/psd files?
My hard drive crashed and I lost all my data and pics. The pics are stored in a 20gig file on the adobe cloud. The software does not show me how to bring those pics back to my new hard drive.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer was infected this week by the FBI scam trojan virus. Microsoft Windows tech had no choice but to return CPU to original factory settings. I reinstalled Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and attempted to retrieve my images from Adobe online storage. Only 121 of my images reappeared, even though a status bar shows my online storage level at over 7GB. Now when I open PSE9, if I click on "Organize," the program either immediately closes or I get an error message that says "the requested operation could not be completed because the catalog is currently locked by another process."
I've tried restarting my computer and even shutting down my computer, but still no luck. I can't figure out "other process" could be locking out the catalog.
