I am having a problem when doing a crop while the dimensions and resolution are set. If the file I am working on is very large, I get a kernel panic.
Thought it might be ram (see earlier post), but it is not.
I did it with a smaller file (34 megs) and halfway through, photoshop reported that my startup disk was now full. The startup is the primary scratch disk, and I have another for the secondary.
While that error message was up, I went into the finder and checked on my drive, O megs free. As soon as I clicked OK in Photoshop (cancelling the stopped cropping operation), the space (44 gigs out of 80) freed up.
Seems Photoshop is using an insanely large scratch file/files for one operation on a 34 meg image, no?
It happens consistently with this operation, no matter how small the image file. I am not asking it do drastically decrease/increase overall pixel dimension. This is NOT an intensive operation. My computer will happily do a lens blur on 95% of a 112 meg 16 bit image. But this crop brings it to it knees.
Can anyone else do this? Again, 320×320, 300dpi crop.
Any ideas?
