Photoshop :: How To Determine Scratch Disc Size
Oct 27, 2013once i was reading an adobe pdf "How to get better performance in photoshop cs5" - that was in 2009 or 2010, and may be outdated, but there was a calculation method to determine the size of a scratch disc. (similar calculation see below, if i can remember right)
i am asking myself, how can i determine the correct size of an external SSD-scratch disc, only used by photoshop (completely empty):should i buy a 128GB or 256GB or 512GB SSD which is only reserved for photoshop?
basic question 1 : i guess i should avoid to set the internal SSD as photoshop scratch disc, as it slows down everything?
basic question 2 : in sense of maximum performance: better buy an external USB3.0 or thunderbolt SSD? will photoshop really use the extra thunderbolt speed when swapping data?
secondary question:
can i calculate the size regarding my daily working habits?
i am mainly working like this:
- with my imac 27" late 2013 with 32GB RAM and 256 GB internal pci-e SSD (800 MB/sec), which will stay always half empty for performance reasons.
- OSX 10.8 mountain lion and 10.9 mavericks soon
- photoshop cs5, cs6 and cc (always without extended)
- 8bit and 16bit mode
- only RGB
- with latest phocus/Hasselblad and canon RAW Files which produce a basic .psb document at ...
- 10.000 x 7000 px at 300dpi
[code]....
i wonder how to calculate ?
for example:
10.000 x 7000 px at 300dpi needs for one image layer at 16bit: 2GB RAM in photoshop cs6 or cc (just as a number), this may be wrong so lets take 2GB RAM and multiply with 10 image layers in my .psb file (16bit) = 20 GB RAM, and multiply with 20 adjustment layers (guess they need less ram, for one lets say 500MB) = 20GB + 10GB = this 16bit .psb layer file would need 30GB RAM, so when i have 32GB in my imac, i set cs6 or cc to 70% ram usage, it misses at least round 8-10GB RAM > can i guess that photoshop would swap these 8GB onto my scratch disc? or do i miss something important in my thinking?
Photoshop :: Scratch Disc 36 GB Enough?
Nov 11, 2008This 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)

View 3 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: OSX Lion And CS5 Scratch Disc Error
Mar 19, 2012I've been using Photoshop CS5 for awhile now (about a year and a half). Up to yesterday I was running OSX Snow Leapord with no issues. Yesterday I upgraded to OSX Lion and today, my first day using Photoshop in Lion, I'm getting repeated "scratch disc error" messages with a "quit" button (no other options). Photoshop works fine for awhile, three hours or so, and then I'll get the "scratch disc error" message and will be forced to quit Photoshop and restart.
My main drive is a 2Tb drive with 1.7Tb of available space, so I'm sure scratch disc space isn't a problem. I've got about another Tb of scratch disc space available on two other internal drives. I've got 14Gb of Ram, all memtested and working perfectly. It clearly seems to be an issue with OSX Lion since it never happened before today. A few other details: I'm up to date with Photoshop CS5, I have Open GL turned off because I'm on an older Mac Pro (a 3.0 Ghz dual quad core, 2.1) and my video card doesn't play nicely with Open GL (a whole different kind of crash).
All three times I've gotten the "scratch disc error" pop-up today it seems to have been when I open multiple files. This last time I opened something like 8 files. Big deal; sometimes I open 40 or more without any problems. I have yet to lose any of my work (I save constantly - a habit born out of past frustrations), so it's managable, but it shouldn't be happening.
Photoshop :: Could Not Open Scratch File Because Disc Is Not Available - Mac
Mar 5, 2013I recently changed the Photoshop (CS6) Scratch Disk choice from the default Boot Drive to one of the other internal drives in my MacPro (OS 10.6.8).
When I restart Photoshop (CS6) I get the message:"Could not open scratch file because disc is not available" and Photoshop will not launch.
I then restart Photoshop with "Command - alt - shift" keys held down (as per suggestion at URL.....)and reset the preferences which allows Photoshop to come back.(Resetting preferences returned the Boot Drive to scratch disk status.)
I have another MacPro that - same OS 10.6.8 and Adobe CS6 - and I don't have this scratch disk allocation problem.What is going on with the one MacPro that prevents me from selecting a Photoshop scratch disk other than the boot drive?
Photoshop :: Certain Files Take Up To 40GB Scratch-disc On Hard Drive
Nov 15, 2013No one of the used files are bigger than 20MB in file size. When opening the file, my empty hard drive space (40GB of free space) decreases to ZERO. Which temporary file on earth can be 40GB big? My system is an i Mac with 24GB RAM. How can this happen?
EDIT: I just found out this might be the so called scratch-disc. But anyway, how can a file take up this much space? Photoshop has a allocated RAM space of 16GB on my system.

Photoshop :: Unable To Designate Internal Drive As Scratch Disc (non Boot Drive)?
Aug 10, 20121) I'm unable to designate an internal drive as a scratch disc (non boot drive). Drive is clean, empty, I've chkdsk'd, permissions set to full, I can read and write files on it, and I'm able to designate it as scratch for Illustrator but PS6 doesn't like it. Says I don't have access.

Photoshop :: Specific Scratch Disk Size For CS6 - How Much Is Needed
Oct 23, 2013I'm curently using PSCS6 just for photo editing. My files typically never exceed 250MB(with layers) and rarely in excess of 8-9 layers.I plan on sinsatlling a 120 GB SSD scratch disk in a MacPro so just wondering if a 120GB scratch disk is sufficient - unfortunately I'm unaware of how to calculate or determine how much scratch space is required for oprimal performance.
My other option is a 1 TB 7200 RPM drive. my boot drive with Mac OSX will be on SSD as well.
VideoStudio :: Project Size / Resulting Disc Keeps Stopping
Apr 20, 2013I have been having a lot of trouble with a project that is about 4.96GB to burn to disc. I have adjusted the MPEG rate so that the project is much smaller, but when I burn it from the video file, the resulting disc keeps stopping when I play it on my DVD player. On my computer, it goes almost to the end but then the audio and video keep "catching" for about the last three minutes of the 1 hour 11 minutes. I am currently trying to create a video disc of part of the project, but it has reached 99% of rendering and then hung for several minutes. The task manager tells me that Videostudio was not responding. It has now finished.
View 7 Replies View RelatedVideoStudio :: 9 ISO File Size For Double Layer Disc
Jan 7, 2011I recently bought a double-layer DVD burner and attempted to burn a DVD of a 2 hour home movie in Ulead VideoStudio 9, but have been unable to do so. I can burn it if I shrink the compression, but I don't want to lose quality - which is why I got the double layer burner in the first place. I know it's an older program, but I didn't think I would have so many problems trying to the double-layer disc to work. I have downloaded the upgrade patch for dual-layer burning from the web, but it still hasn't worked. When I burned just the image file (.iso) and tried to use another program to burn the disc, I noticed that it didn't finish saving the entire movie - it stopped when the file size reached 4.2 GB - which is right at the max for a single layer disc. How can I change the settings so the .iso image file will continue working/saving past the 4.2 GB since I can get close to 8 GB on a double layer disc? I'm missing about the last 10 minutes of my video - I need around 5.0 GB for the full movie.

GIMP :: Tool Active Or Passive Indicator
Jul 11, 2012I use gimp on a laptop computer, with the usual touch sensitive pad. I am surprised there is no visual indicator anywhere in Gimp, as to whether a tool, especially a paintbrush is live or passive. It is annoying that you may think the tool is "off" only to move paintbrush to another location any leave an unwanted paint trail on your layer.
Would it be better to have the tool icon change colour or have white border, to indicate live or passive. Have I got it setup right.
