Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0

Change scratch disks

Photoshop Elements needs contiguous hard drive space to create a scratch disk. For this reason you should frequently defragment your hard drive. Adobe recommends that you use a disk tool utility, such as Windows Disk Defragmenter, to defragment your hard drive on a regular basis. See your Windows documentation for information on defragmentation utilities.

  1. In the Editor, choose Edit > Preferences > Performance.
  2. Select the desired disks from the Scratch Disks menu (you can assign up to four scratch disks), and click OK.
  3. Restart Photoshop Elements for the change to take effect.
