hi everyone,

I just encountered a problem with Photoshop CS2 which is really bugging me and would like to know if anyone had this problem before and has a fix that could help me...

It concern CS2's scratch disk space management. Right now, i am editing a picture entry for a DPC.com challenge, and am in the final steps of post-prod, namely: CROP. Up to this point (and even through many reboots for testing purposes), all effects, adjustments or modifications to the image in .psd format (from raw) has been without a hitch. Now comes the crop... and photoshop always gives me a message stating that the scratch disk is out of memory/space. At this point, its ok, i'll just add more or reboot, but that doesn't work. In fact, after allocating 10gigs (10,000 megs) of Scratch Disk space for Photoshop... it still doesn't work, and what's worst... whenever i do a crop, the scratch disk goes from 'nothing (empty) to FULL (10gig) and still gives me the same error message (a 10gig scratch disk crop space... wtf?).

Anyone can help me out? It seem Photoshop won't let me crop anything... that's the only problem i have encountered with the software at this time.

I'd like other options before uninstalling and reinstalling the program.

Thanks for anyone's help on the matter.

What are the numbers in your crop settings? Especially the 3rd one?

I had a similar problem, and it was because I hadn't set up my preferences how I had them in PHotoshop CS, and was not specifying in the crop dialog either. In other words, I was thinking I was cropping to 640 pixels, but my setups in Photoshop were to use inches as the general unit of measurement, so I was actually cropping the image up to 640 inches instead. Check that out.

Yeah, that sounds fine ... unless traquino98 is on the right track.
