G’day all,
Please go easy on me as I am new to Photoshop CS. My system that I am running is a 2.0 GHZ G5, 160 GB HDD with 2.5 Gb of ram (one partition only called HD). How important is it to Partition your disc for Photoshop. I have been advised by a friend that his OS9 Mac, running PS 7 and has two partitions (HD & Scratch) is setup so that in PS\prefernces\plugins and scratchbook the First = scratch disc. In my Mac I have just left it as defauft, as startup disc.
I am led to believe that a file the size of 10mb takes up approx 100 mb of ram and that’s why the above settings are completed in PS. I was under the impression with OSX that what ever that application needed in the way of RAM then OSX would compensate accordingly.
I hope I have made sense.
regards,
Dave Green
