Scratch Disk Full

Hi,

When I go to open a specific file 385 meg, it goes to load and at the end, I get a message saying Scratch Disk Full and can't open.

I can open small images.

Tried all the suggestions of resetting preferences, purge, changing scratch disk, etc.

On a Mac, High Sierra v 10.13.6 and using ChromeBrowser.

Everything is up to date.

How can I fix this?

Thanks, Mike

    Hi there

    Connect a second disk'hold down the command and option and start Photoshop, you will see this

    I hope this helps

    Thanks. Yes had tried that and the other standard solutions and it does not solve the issue.

    i also only have StartUp and my MAC Hard Drve as options (HD has 15gig free)) it defaults to HD so plenty of space. So doing this was not a solution.

    thanks

    You say you “tried that”. You connected a second disk and in the options chose it instead of the startup disk? How much space was on the new disk?
