Photoshop fills up my scratch disk

[Tony Cronstam]

Hi, most grateful if anyone out there knows how to adress this problem.

This happens every time I use Photoshop, starting from two weeks ago:

I have 155 gigs of free space on my 250 gig SSD (scratch disk) when I start up Photoshop and begin to work. But then every time I save (command S), a chunk of free space is filled up on the SSD. After an our or two I get the message that the scratchdisc is full (with only a couple of hundred megs left in free space). I restart Photoshop and the scratchdisk is back to 155 gigs free space.

I could just make this restart a routine and leave it at that, but I´m afraid this is a sign of something being wrong with the hardware and a crash to come? Also, the last save always fails since the scratchdisc is filled up, forcing me to quit and lose work done unsaved.

So I´m hoping this is a softwareproblem, and of course solveable.

Anyone out there who knows?

Thanks in advance.

Tony

(I´m using an iMac with macOS Sierra and the latest version of Photoshop 2017 installed)

What version specifically? Please don't say "latest" as many problems actually turn out to be missed updates.

True, my bad.

MacOS Sierra version 10.12.4 and Photoshop CC 2017.1.0

Just updated Photoshop to 2017.1.1 but the problem remains

Hi, have you had any luck with solving this problem? I'm having the same issue.

Thanks.

Hi, bicolorine
no I´m afraid not. Strangest thing is that today it filled up but not as much. After 10 hours  of working and saving with Photoshop it had only filled up the scratch disk with some 20 gig. That is to be compared to earlier days when it filled up 150 gig in a couple of hours.
Might even be so that todays stored 20 gigs on the scratch disk is normal?
