A: A Scratch Disc is like extra RAM, since Photoshop is such a resource-consuming program it uses the Hard Drive as RAM. So basically if you're hard drive that Photoshop is default to (probably the one you installed it on, probably C Drive) is full then you won't have enough memory to make images. To fix the problem: 1) Open Photoshop 2) Go Edit -> Preferences 3) Select Plugins/Scratch Discs 4) Change the primary Scratch Disc to another drive that has more space or set a Secondary Scratch Disc 5) Close and Re-Open Photoshop That should fix it :) Hope you now have a better understanding of Scratch Discs and your problem is fixed.
