Re: [APML]: Stacking in Photoshop

["Mike Regish" <mregish@map.com>]

I got a response from someone on the list that suggested that the Nuts &
Bolts Demo could be causing the problem. I deleted it, and, so far,
Photoshop seems to be working ok again. I do get vertical bars when I switch
the layers to "difference" (only in the preview-not in the finished stack)
and the second file that I open has some garbage in the bottom part of the
window, but that goes away, too.

I did the reinstall route 3 times with no success. I'm keeping my fingers
crossed, but I think the Nuts & Bolts demo was the culprit. I always have
trouble with these programs that are supposed to PREVENT problems. Guess I
should've learned by now.

P.S. Right now, I've got over a gig of free hard drive space on my C drive.
I noticed that it was down to 400meg after trying this a few times. Found
over 600 meg of Photoshop TMP files in the c:\windows\temp directory. It
does eat up that virtual memory fast.
