The green scratch pads have abrasives mixed in and will scratch everything - plastic spatulas and Teflon coated pans, glass, crystal, stainless steal, fiberglass tubs chrome - its a long list! Even if looks are unimportant, the scratches will make some of these things more difficult to clean next time!

I am running Photoshop CC on my MacBook Air with macOS Sierra. Every time I attempt to open Photoshop through any means, the following message appears: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the scratch disks are full", and Photoshop does not open. I tried clearing space from my Mac in general including several GB worth of apps and removing several cache files, but nothing seems to work. I also tried holding down the command and option keys to reveal the Scratch Disk Preferences, and it lets me select the Startup and MacIntosh HD. Again, nothing worked. Anyone know how to fix this message, and/or clear scratch disk space?

This is super late, but for anyone else who runs into this issue...Similar thing happened to me. Do you make new files by pixel size or by inches? I usually go by pixels (ex: 2500x3000 or something like that), but I apparently I had accidentally switched to inches and it would only let me max the numbers to 1000. Went back to pixels and it all worked out!

We're sorry for the scratch disk issue. Take a look at the following troubleshooting article which can help you to resolve the "Scratch disk is full" error: Troubleshoot scratch disk full errors in Photoshop

And I switched them in PS settings so the program has space. Last time I only assigned one disk, that was almost empty and with 100 GB free. After I started trying to use PS again and the error showed up, I checked the space that is available in that disk without closing the program and it appears full.

Thanks! I have the Dell G7 and got that message. I started PS, waited for it to start to initialize then pressed CTRL and ALT. The pop up came up and I changed my scratch disk to my D drive. All was good after that!

This isn't about where Photoshop is installed. It's about the scratch disk, which is something else. Photoshop 7.0 cannot see drives bigger than 1TB, such a disk will effectively be invisible, and so Photoshop will report no scratch disk available.

The scratch disk is Photoshop's working memory. Photoshop moves around so much data that RAM will always be insufficient no matter how much you have, so it writes temporary files to disk. RAM acts like a fast access cache to the scratch disk's main memory.

I have read some posts about this , but the answer seems to be to partition my hard drive , I don't want it partitioned , its the entire reason i got a 2tb hard drive , was to have 1 large drive , , some replies also said to redirect the Scratch Disk to another location/partition/other hard drive , the issue with that is how can i redirect the Scratch Disk/program if i can't access it ?? , it opens/loads , but then the error message pops up and i can't do anything except click "OK" which closes Photoshop as long as the message is there i can't click on anything else in Photoshop, it worked fine on my 1tb hard drive in Win 10 , which is still installed , , do i take the desktop shortcut from my Win 10 1tb hard drive and use it on my 2tb hard drive desktop ??? any helpful info , that does not want mt to partition my drive or upgrade to Photoshop 10 , would be appreciated ....Thanks ...Jim

I just tried what you said , and i chose the other drive that it works on ,(i went from C drive to E drive for "First" Startup) , and it gave the exact same error , but yet if i were to boot to that drive Photoshop works perfect

OK , i had to restart my PC to finish some Windows updates , and after restarting , i tried to set the Scratch Disk location , and it seemed to work this time , i reset it to E Drive , instead of C , and Photoshop opened up without the error and is usable now , the main issue i have with this is that this is a "work around" not really a "fix" for the error/issue

How about a Update/Patch for those of us with PS7 (or those of us that can't afford to "upgrade" to a newer version of Photoshop) m, that would allow PS7 to recognize a larger drive (say up to 4tb for example) , so we can use it without this frustration , Photoshop should have been remedied of this "known" issue , long ago

I am not posting this as the "solution" since its more of a workaround than a solution/fix , but thank you for at least getting it working again for me till Adobe applies a actual "update/fix" for the issue ....

As mentioned , the main reason i went to the larger drive instead of having multiple smaller drives was for the "convenience" of having ALL my programs and files on 1 drive (that and i was over 3/4 full on the 1tb drive , so i needed more space) ( i made a duplicate/mirror of my old drive , but had to reinstall some games and programs to make them work correctly PS7 was one of them , then when trying it , i got the error which made no sense , since it worked on the old drive)

Like i also mentioned , some of us can no longer afford a "newer" version , so we have to keep what we have , the very reason i drive a 1990 Toyota truck , because i can't afford to pay (even on payments) for a newer one , as much as i would like to be driving a newer model truck , or have the latest versions of programs i use , its simply not a realistic ability in my current/long term financial state , and companies need to recognize this , that not everyone "can" upgrade , weather they want to or not

I just tried the Update , and it says it can't find Photoshop 7.0 , its pointing to the correct location , but i think that now that the shortcut points to the other drive it won't find it , does this mean i have to update the one that is on my other hard drive ??/

Well this is just getting more and more frustrating ...., and i don't want to have to un-install/reinstall again , it seems like this is all i do since switching to Windows 10 , it seems to have issues with everything i install , even my games are a pain to get to work/install , and some of them are some of the latest games on the market

Again , thanks for the help , i guess since Adobe has no plans to update PS7 so it easier for those that still use it , and at least for now i can actually use it again ... i think i am done trying things , i have spent the majority of the day on this , its almost not worth the effort when a "fix" can't be obtained anyway , and the "workaround" made it function again ... so i am calling it quits on this one .... Again , Thanks for the help ...

There will never be updates to Photoshop 7 or the six versions that follow (up to CS6). You are fortunate it still runs in the latest Windows, Mac users lost the use of it years ago. People with new monitors and cameras often also need to upgrade.

System changes are are a major cause of paid upgrades. It isn't just for new features. Running old apps is fine, I do plenty of it, but it needs major caution in other upgrades. You can't just keep mixing old and new without breaking some eggs. Or something like that. Switching to Windows 10 may have been a very expensive free upgrade.

I was having this problem somewhat before I bought a new harddrive: I was trying to save work on an external harddrive and photoshop was giving me an error that the drive was full, which is ridiculous because it was a 2T. Now I bought a new harddrive, and they forced me to buy windows 10, which came with all the frustrations you wrote above and then some, and then photoshop wouldn't load at all, because this drive was also 2T.

I just found an interesting "work around" for the Scratch Disk Full error in Photoshop 7 on Win 10, after trying every known fix, of which nothing worked: switch to Image Ready and save your file, then switch back to Photoshop if needed. No Scratch Disk Full error appears in Image Ready!

You are right, this can be done. But it is a big, slow process, and the reason I've tried doing it a few times is to duplicate window configurations or build doors to sizes or styles that are not available otherwise. As a matter of fact, the premise that ancestors may have made these windows with hand tools is unlikely. Windows have been jobbed out to factories way before 1906, and it probably was similar to today-the builder had to specify windows in advance and wait for the factory to deliver them, or buy stock windows.

One reservation: if you have to ask about mortises, you may be disappointed with your results, at least at first. This is a bit advanced, if you intend to create "real" divided lites. Why? Well, two things-are you going to use plain glass or insulated glass?
Also, it could create a dangerous situation whether on the inside or out if your joints are not strong, someone could get hurt.

Amana makes a few different matched sets of cope and stick cutters that will match classic muntin profiles. I think Freud does too, and others. They are expensive. Expect to pay close to $200 for the pair.

A shaper would be better, but a good router table will do. I would find some good straight grained white pine or douglas fir, hopefully dry, and run a whole bunch more than you think you'll need to create stock for muntins. You can run your sash profile edges with the same cutters if you like the design too.

Most people nowadays don't build their own windows because there's no savings in time, (therefore money) and it takes some special skills and tools, plus some technology in insulation that only a factory can really provide.

*Tony,Mad Dog gave you some great advice. If you feel that you have to make these windows, then I say....go for it. Pine and fir are good choices, but you may want to consider mahogany or alder. Buy a shaper. It has the power to cut profiles in wood that size. The knives are out there.....if you can find them. Amana is a good place to start. Custom knives can be ground for a price. Good luck.Ed. Williams

*I do window renovations and I recently saw a great way to build sash. These guys I know recently bought a school building here in Durango. Theyy had the sash profiles milled by a local lumberdistributorr and they cut the mortise and tenon with standard shop tools. It worked great. The sash cutters you arereferringng to are tough to set up and are a general pain in the %. If you really wansome sendend me mailil and I'll make you a great dealWork smart.
