Hi. I have a new computer after my old one stopped working. I recently installed Photoshop CS5 Extended again. I was going to use it and re-add every swatch, gradient, style, and brush I downloaded or made, but I guess the notice about something not being compatible with older versions of Photoshop. And there's this:

Brush strokes came out rather pixelated and this message came up. I guess Photoshop CS5 Extended can't be used now. What should I do?

It tends to vary. I've made pictures where the height or width can go a little over 7000. I just noticed this, however:

I don't believe it took anywhere near that many GB for pictures on my old Windows 10 PC.

Did you mean 2000 by 3000 "inches" or did you want to say "pixels"? That might be your problem right there — it's a humongous file!

You can try changing the drive for the scratch disk and see if that helps.

I was learning about scratch disks last night. I have 384 GB free. The PC I'm using now has a maximum space of 475.

Hi @courtneydavis12345

Read these two help files. You need to have sufficient unused space (called "scratch disk") or Photoshop won't open. There are a couple of other solutions in addition to a second drive, so try those first. If they don't work, you will need a second drive and set it as the primary scratch disk.

Which is your version of the operating system, your very old version of Photoshop is probably not compatible? It's time to consider upgrading to the Photography Plan which includes the latest version of Photoshop and Lightroom at a cost of around $10 a month.
