HI:

I have been attempting to generate a contact sheet through either Bridge / Automate or CS2 Automate.

In either case results are the same, in that I receive an error messge of low disk space followed by a cannot complete sue to low disk space. This is on a Windows XP professional machine SP 2. Prior to starting the Contact sheet, I have 19Gbytes free space on the scratch drive. It soes not matter if I load 3 pictures or 30 pictures I still get the low disk space message followed by the unable to complete.

I have tried loading full size tiff RAW images and reduced JPGS. I originall thought the raw file may have been causing the problem due to their size. I change to the reduced JPGS ranging in size from 1,250K to 85k and still get cannot complete.

I have set up the scratch drives, both on the same drive ad CS2, a different drive where CS2 is not loaded and still have not been sucessfull.

When starting the contact sheet automation, the first image loads transforms etc., then appears to stop,no other images are being loaded until the low disk space message displays. If I acknowledge the cannot continue message (adobe) the contact sheet is displayed with a single picture.

Any help that you all may be able to provide would be appreciated.

Regards

Assuming you have scratch on a different physical drive, check you have sufficient space on your system drive. The OS paging file requires up to 4GB of free (preferably defragmented) space – it could be this which is causing the low space error.

Also make sure Photoshop’s memory allocation is not set too high. The default 55% is about right for a system with up to 2GB of physical RAM.

Might also be worth resetting Photoshop’s Preferences file (as per the FAQs) just in case it has become corrupted.
