Is there any way to abort if you say, mistakenly start a 500% image resize on a 1200MB file with 42 layers 🙂 ?
Don’t worry, I’ll still be here.

What OS? On Mac you can try Command-period. Works if you hit it just right. Windows hold down the Escape key; again, may work if you get to it fast enough.

About 1 out of 5 times pressing escape key does something for me. The testing the keyboard/mouse task doesn’t seem to be well designed in Photoshop.

You could also try the [Ctrl/Alt > Del] trick on PC to shut down the program. Hold down the Ctrl & Alt keys and then press Del. Provided you have the image previously saved so you won’t lose your work.

On Macs I’ve ended up pulling the plug on many occasions when the thing was frozen and nothing else would work. This was with version 9. I understand version 10 is better.

Thanks for all the replies. I’m sure everyone’s run into this problem once or twice.

Depends on your hardware. If you have a CPU with hyperthreading then it seems to be a lot easier to interupt PhotoShop when it is doing something intensive.
