Photoshop CS6 using Start up disk

Hi I am editing some large PSB's in CS6 but even though my scratch disks are assigned to seperate drives photoshop still seems to be using my startup disk and filling it up very quickly. It is fine in CS5 which is leading me to think that maybe the autosave is saving to my startup disk. Is there anyway to change the location of the autosave? I did a quick search and couldn't find any info on the location of autosaves on Mac os x 10.7.

Chris:
In PS CS6's Prefs., I have set my Scratch to be on a separate partition on a second HD (called "Scratch") and my Auto-Saved PS files seem to be beeing saved to that location too:
Is this only possible on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?

  • Can Photoshop Cs6 Use all 12 Cores ?

    Hi,
       I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro 12 Core Desktop and I was wondering can Cs6 use all 12 cores of the processor  ? Also, How much real ram can photoshop use ?
    Thanks

    You can read about it in this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    The more cores you use, the less you get from each additional core. Therefore, Photoshop doesn’t run four times as fast on a computer with 16 processor cores as on a computer with four cores. For
    As far as Memory goes, 64-bit version of Photoshop CS6 can use as much RAM as you have installed on your computer.

    What will really make a difference apart from RAM and processor is your Hard Drive itself. Faster drive equals lower processing latency, resulting in faster saves and so on. Your scratch disk highly depends on the hard drive that you use.

  • Photoshop CS6 Extended starts instead of Photoshop CS6

    I have a licenced copy of Photoshop CS6 in my Windows 7 computer. Today, when I start CS6, CS6 Extended starts instead, in trial mode. Control Panel Install/deinstall shows I have CS6 installed. I don't want to deinstall because I can't get into CS6 to deactivate it. Maybe I have to wipe the PC and return to a recent full backup, but is this my only alternative?

  • Photoshop CS6 used on an extended desktop

    Very strange reactions from Photoshop CS6 when used on my Lenovo ThinkPad in an extended desktop situation. Any attempt to open an image in Photoshop is unsuccessful in showing the actual image, despite the layers box shoing the thumbnail, the "open ifle" text box at the top indicating it is open, and the image details box also indicating correct data for the image file.  If I close down extended desktop Photoshop works just fine. If I extend the desktop once Photoshop is running, I can move the open window to the extended desktop and it also works fine. Once I close Photoshop I am back to square one. Any insights appreciated.

    That's a pretty solid sign of a display driver problem.
    Is your laptop using an Intel GPU?  Intel drivers have traditionally been kind of iffy with regard to accelerating Photoshop.
    You may be able to find an updated display driver for your setup that gives you better results.  Exhaust this possibility first.
    Or you might find that Photoshop is made usable by turning off the [  ] Use Graphics Processor setting in Edit - Preferences - Performance.  You lose some features with this approach, however.

  • Downloading Photoshop CS6 using Application Manager

    I have just purchased CS6 Cloud and successfully downloaded the Application Manager. I am now attempting to download just Photoshop CS6 but it has stopped at 48%. This is the second attempt where it has stopped at exactly the same point. I have iMAC 10.7 and mobile broad band which peaked at 3-4Mb/sec. What size is the download file? I left it overnight but now the comms are zero. I would rather get advise before re-starting.

    The file size of Photoshop CS6 is approximately 960 MB.
    Did you refer to http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-update-issues-cs5-cs5.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-installation-download .html and try troubleshooting the application manager?

  • Photoshop CS6 using an Asus 4K monitor

    I have the above monitor and running Photoshop CS6, the tool menus are so small I'm barely able to see them.  Is there a fix for this?

    UI Scaling for Windows was introduced in Photoshop CC 2014 (just as soon as we could work with Microsoft to fix the OS UI scaling code).

  • Upgrading Photoshop CS6 using the cloud.

    Every time I try to upgrade Photoshop CS6 with the cloud I get error U44MIP7. Then after a few weeks it upgrades ok. Any ideas? I don't think Adobe is really ready to prime time on the cloud yet.

    It appears the 13.0.1.2 update is the problem.
    Here is a summary of the fix:
    1) UNinstall Photoshop (no need to uninstall anything else in CS6)
    2) Reboot your computer (just to make sure nothing is hanging around in memory)
    3) Install Photoshop and immediately quit the Creative Cloud app
    4) Run photoshop
    5) Go to HELP > UPDATES
    6) EXPAND the update group and UNselect the 13.0.1.2 update
    7) Apply the 13.1.2 update

  • Photoshop CS6 Extended 64bit scratch disk error

    I'm unable to point CS6 to the alternate scratch drive despite changes in permissions. I noticed my boot drive (C:) is actually Disk 1, not Disk 0, and my scratch disk (internal) is Disk 0. I can select an external drive (I:) with no issues, but that is a 2TB drive I use for data. So, I'm curious whether the mix-up with the boot disk order has anything to do with CS6 not being able to access the disk I want to designate as the scratch disk?

    I'm assuming you're running Windows 7, though you haven't said, specifically.
    Keep in mind that with Windows 7 UAC makes you "look" to the system like a plain old non-privileged user, even if you're logging in using an account in the Administrators group.
    Is the username you're logging in with actually literally "administrator"?
    Can you post screen grab(s) showing the permissions for the username you log in with on the root folder, the Photoshop scratch settings, and any other info that might be pertinent?
    Does the problem go away if you run Photoshop As Administrator?
    Does the problem go away if you temporarily disable UAC and reboot?
    Another user here gave up trying to run with UAC enabled just the other day and his problems were solved.  It shouldn't be necessary, but...

  • Can't open Raw files in Photoshop CS6 using Nikon D7100?

    I have a Nikon D7100 and recently did a photoshoot where I shot in Raw. Upon uploading my images and then attempting to open them in Photoshop it came up with a pop up saying that photoshop is unable to open that camera raw file. I have downloaded the adobe recommended converters but those don't seem to work either. Help?

    The Nikon D7100 didn't get support until Camera Raw version 7.4; CS6 shipped with 7.0 (and is compatible up until 8.3). Did you go through Help > Updates?
    Also, versions of Camera Raw above version 8.3 won't work on anything below Windows 7 or Mac 10.7. You'll have to "upgrade" to at most 8.3 to continue using it on the other operating systems.

  • Photoshop CS6 using javaScript to truncate alpha channel name

    Hello,
    I'm a production artist and I work with PSD files that were created in Adobe Scene7 Image Authoring Tool. These PSDs contain a background layer along with 1-20 alpha channels. My script has to make a new blank layer for every alpha channel in the document. Then it fills the new layer with light gray. So far, my code accomplishes this. However, I'd like to apply the name of the alpha channel to the layer, but I need the name to be truncated. Every alpha channel starts with one or more characters followed by a backslash and then finishes with one or more characters. Here's an example:
    An alpha channel might be named:  Floor\floor
    In this example I need my layer name to be just:  floor. This means all character to the left of the backslash, including the backslash itself needs to be discarded. I was using the subSring() statement to do this. When I try to step through the code, line by line in ExtendScript, I immediately get an error that says Unterminated String Constant and Line 31 of my code is highlighted. I suspect it doesn't like the way I wrote the backslash character, although I surrounded it in double quotes to define it as a string.
    Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error?
    Below is my code with lots of comments to walk you through the process. I wrote where the error occurs in red type.
    I'm new to JavaScript so I'm not sure my while loop is accurate.
    #target photoshop
    // The #target photoshop makes the script run in PS.
    // declare variable to contain the active document
    var myDoc=app.activeDocument;
    // declare variable to contain the number of alpha channels, excluding the RGB channels
    var alphaChan = myDoc.channels.length - 3;
    alert(alphaChan + " alpha channels exist");
    // create loop to make new layers based on number of alpha channels, fill layer with gray and apply alpha channel name to new layer
    for (a=0 ; a<alphaChan ; a+=1){
    // make new blank layer
    myDoc.artLayers.add();
    // fill blank layer with gray
    var color = new SolidColor();
    color.rgb.red = 161;
    color.rgb.green = 161;
    color.rgb.blue= 161;
    myDoc.selection.fill(color);
    //variable stores alpha channel name
    var alphaName = myDoc.channels[3+a];
    // variable stores lenght of alpha channel name
    var lz = alphaName.length;
    // declare index variable to initialize position of 1st  character of alpha channel name
    var x= 0 ;
    // truncate alpha channel name by removing all characters preceding the "\" symbol
    while (alphaName.subString(x) != "\"){          (ExtendScript gives an error for this line and highlights the backslash and surrounding quotation marks)
        alphaName = alphaName.subString((x+1),z);
        x+=1;
        z-=1;
    return alphaName;
    // remove the backslash from alpha channel name
    alphaName = alphaName.subString((x+1),z);
    //  apply truncated alpha channel name to corresponding layer

  • New hard drive, won't let me use start up disk?

    Just earlier today i switched out my macbook pro's hardrive for a new 750g 7200rpm scorpio black hdd by WD. Im pretty sure i installed it correctly, trying to instal the Mac osx, i hold alt while booting up, click on the cd saying mac boot disk or what not, but i get a message saying "please restart your computer" am i doing something horribly wrong here? I need that computer for school tomorrow :/ Thanks guys.

    There is no install disc for OS X Lion 10.7.1.
    So you must be using a Snow Leopard disc.
    How old is your MBP?
    If it came with Lion (10.7.x) installed when you bought it you can not install Snow Leopard on it.
    If you have your olde drive reinstall that. Download a program to Clone the old drive to the new drive, SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Then install the new drive.

  • Extended photoshop CS6 use causes program slow down.

    Hello,
    Currently when I use photoshop for any kind for photo editing, after about ten minutes of use the program response slows to a crawl and it will take a minute or two for me to even toggle layer visibility on or off. I reset photoshop to it's factory default settings and I am still getting this problem. Since I use Photoshop extensively for work and school I can say the problem did not begin until yesterday when I was finishing up some assignments for class. None of the files I am editing are very large (maybe 45 MB?) but the problem persists. No other programs are running at the same time as Photoshop. I have a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina with OSX mavericks. Any suggestions or help?
    Regards, Eleanor
