Boatlady Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I use windows with PSE19 . I am getting a scratch disk full message so cannot use the program. I have tried to search to find a remedy for the problem but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me please. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodScrap Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Is this a memory issue with your computer? I'd be sure trash is empty and temporary files are deleted. BUT, what do I know??? Hope it is fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMom Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I had this issue a few years ago with a laptop that I bought specifically for photoshop, CAD and heavy programs. I think the programs update and improve so rapidly that our hardware just can't keep up. Here is a link from one of several sources I often find helpful. It may just changing your settings or upgrading memory or hard drives. I miss my laptop and the ability to work wherever I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This computer is not even a year old and has ton's of memory and speed. I think that PSE19 was using the smaller file so I switched locations and it seems fine. Thanks for the link it is one I did looked at too. I need to use a laptop as we travel allot so it can go with me but but I do miss my extra screen then. Thank you so much for your note.

Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimes1 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 HI Debby - just found this. I'm not sure what it looks like in PSE, but in photoshop (CC) if you go to Edit>Preferences>Scratch Disks. There you can set your scratch disk to any drive you like. In earlier versions I seem to remember that you could also set the percentage of the drive that you would allow it take - (the higher the percentage the slower the function) but I always set mine pretty high. I don't actually see it here on my current version CC 2019 - but check your PSE - it might be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’m getting this a lot lately. Just make sure you empty your trash, purge on PS (under edit, purge all) and re-start Photoshop. That helps me. I am going to move a lot of my files to my EHD, and I don’t like doing that because it takes forever to find them. I think I need to switch to my iMac, and buy a new laptop. Lol.
