I try to open my impreza and it gives me scratch disks are full and cannot complete request. Photoshop opens everything else. WTF?

I'm guessing your impreza .psd file is quite a bit larger than the other files you're trying to open???

First of all try increasing the memory usage allocated to PS. With PS open hit CTRL+K to bring up the preferences, then find the page called memory & image cache, then check the 'max ram used by Photoshop' setting.. ideally on most system about 60% is what u need. It all depends on how much ram you want to let PS hog. Obviously more makes PS better, but it means the other programs you got running at the same time (including your OS) may suffer... After editing preferences you'll have to restart PS for the changes to come into effect.

Scratch disks are the parts of your HDD that photoshop uses as temporary storage space, basically its uses scratchdisks when it runs out of RAM to use.. so thats why i told u to bump that up firstly.. If that still doesn't help out then it may be a sign you're running out of diskspace or you need to defrag your HDD.. Some more info on scratch disks on the adobe site: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/322/322829.html

The memory and image cache thing didn't work sadly.....

and i checked out that link but when i look for the download nothing of what they speak of is there...

How big is the file you're trying to open and how much ram do u have on your pc? post up a screenshot of that error msg you're getting. There is no download on that link i gave you, its just some extra info about what scratch disks are and how ps uses ram.

Ive had this issue myself... deleted both psd and photoshop

How much free space is left on your C:\-partition?

Heres the image





Wala what do you mean with the partition?

failing everything else, run a disk cleanup, and free up some space on your HDD by uninstalling programs you dont use etc. photoshop just needs extra space. OR plug in a usb storage device and go into your photoshop settings, and select that device as the primary scratch disk for now until you sort the problem out

Thanks jack i'll give that i try and let you guys know the result

Got it open! Set it to use 80% and changed my scratch disk destination to D drive since it had 5gb remaining while my C have 400+mb haha
