That's just insane. That's 1000 times the size of the 40MB image Shel mentioned. It's 300 times the size of the 130MB images I typically work on. I'd love to know what the "lower limit" on scratch disk is. If I was working on several dozen images or layers at the same time, I might understand, or doing long stretches of work that ended up as dozens of undo/history copies. But I typically load the image, adjust the ppi setting, crop a bit, adjust colors/curves, zap with a little unsharp mask, and save. At worst, that's 520MB of images, undo/history, etc. I'd think 1-2 GB ought to be plenty for the type of work I do. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
