 Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2010 2:02 pm Post subject: Need Urgent Help! RAM and Scratch Disk Problem |
 |
|
I was recently working on making a gigapixel panorama. I made the panorama in AutopanoGiga and rendered it as a .psb. I went to go fix some stuff on the file and the first thing I did was content aware fill. The panorama ended up being 4 gigapixels before cropping. So I wanted to try content aware fill on a small portion of the image. I am using a 12-core Mac Pro with 20GB 1333 MHz RAM. I have an SSD as my boot drive and four 2TB mechanical drives, none of which in a RAID.
When I first installed Photoshop on my Mac Pro, I went into the preferences to change the memory and scratch disk settings. The first thing I did was set Photoshop to use 12GB RAM. Then I went to the scratch disk and noticed that only my SSD was set up as a scratch disk. So I unchecked the activate box next to the SSD, activated all 4 other drives, and moved the SSD to the bottom of the list.
So I started content aware fill and saw that it would take some time. So I left and when I came back a little over an hour later, Photoshop gave me a message saying that the scratch disk was full and it couldn't complete the content aware fill. Why did this happen????? I deactivated my SSD and activated four separate 2TB drives!
I went on MacRumors Forums and asked some people, and the only advice I got was to reset my settings. I did that, redid my scratch disk settings, and it is still using my SSD as the scratch disk! Can someone please help?? |

Welcome to the forums, without looking deeper I would say you are asking more from Content Aware Filter that it or your RAM can handle. Your file size is large and if the Content Aware fill is large and without information then it will struggle to ascertain the required information needed.

I don't really care about content aware fill at this point. My main concern right now is why it used my SSD as a scratch disk. I put it at the bottom of the list, deactivated it, and have 4 other drives, all 2TB, in front of it. Why would it use the SSD as a scratch disk when it is not activated? |
