Tips & Warnings

• A scratch disk is a temporary disk that Adobe PhotoDeluxe uses for storing data when there is insufficient RAM available. PhotoDeluxe requires three to five times as much RAM as the size of the file. PhotoDeluxe uses your startup disk as the default. Avoid using a removable disk (such as a Zip disk) for your scratch disk. Fixed disks are faster and consequently work better.
