Photoshop Scratch Disk Full?

If Photoshop runs like molasses or runs out of memory, your scratch disk may be full. Check under Edit > Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disks to see which disk(s) you have specified as scratch disks. By default, your start-up disk is the first and often the only specified scratch disk and it’s generally the fullest disk partition. By naming some other, less busy disk or partition as the first scratch disk, you can often speed up the program and make it more crash proof. It’s also easier to check and defragment a disk that’s not the system disk.
