2 hours of editing down and now photoshop won't save my image (at all!).
It says I don't have enough RAM (I have 1.5GB... but I'm assuming what I'm trying to save is going over that).
The only two processes I have going basically are explorer and photoshop. Photoshop is using 800mb and the rest is system stuff...
No matter what I do, flattening, resizing, or whatever to try and reduce the amount of memory required for the file, photoshop refuses to save... any ideas? |

Make sure your scratch disk isn't full. Empty your recycle bin.

Scratch disk is a possibility I guess, how do I check that?
Photoshop does say RAM however, not drive space or scratch disk. |

Menu item "Edit / Preferences / Plug-ins and scratch disks"
That's in the CS version, not sure if it's the same in whatever version you're on. And as far as I know, PS treats the scratch disks as a kind of extended memory space. So the error message you're seeing might not be entirely accurate! |

Make a new layer via copy, then "Save As"
That will save as a psd. PS will somehow always save a psd - BTDT.
After rebooting, open your psd and keep going or save properly.
If you are running Vista, pop in a 1-2GB CF Card, choose Memory Boost, use the whole card if need be and that can pull you out of the problem also. |

Start (Orb) > Computer > right click on your CF choose Properties > ReadyBoost tab there is a check box
