RE: offtopic - photoshop problem?



Gordon,

If she's working on a number of images at once and for hours at a time, each
is accumulating its own history.  Maybe she needs to purge now and again, or
only have open the image she's working on.

Subject: offtopic - photoshop problem?


A somewhat off topic question ...

I'm helping someone with their  computer,  windows XP.  She uses
photoshop to process lots of images

Her hard drive consumes 100 s of MB of disk space in a short time - a
few hours.  Nothing is downloaded or installed but the disk usage
increases significantly.

One of the suspects is photoshops  scratch drive temporary files.  Does
anyone have similar experience with photoshop?
I'm not a photoshop expert - is it possible to indentify the temporary
files photoshop produces?  If photoshop misbehaves can it leave large
volumes of files on a system?
