Help!  I just did a ton of editing in ACR, selected all images, clicked save, and once in the Save Options window I can't do anything!  Won't save, won't cancel...nothing.  How do I close this window without force quitting the bridge application and thus losing all of that work?! 

Ordered the external G-Drive, should be here by the end of the week!  Hopefully this helps get my computer and PS back up to max speed!  Thank you for your help!

Thank you!

Just remember, you DO NOT need 75 RAW photos of your lunch from 3 years ago. LMAO!! If it's not going to see the light of day, or hasn't in the last few years, it won't. Good luck culling. The feeling is like shooting your kids, one by one.

Hahaha, lmao!  Thankfully these were easy to cull, all RAW from client sessions from 2014 and 2015   I keep the jpeg edits, they don't take up much space and you never know when a client will have a random request for something, so I keep them for now.  I'm sure one day I will ditch them all though!  Anyway, cleared it down to about 20-25% free space, and then disconnected it and put it away. 

I think I'll order a 4T G-Drive, and hopefully that will hold me over for a while!  Will that help with scratch disk space as well?  Sorry for all of the questions, you are so kind to take the time to educate me on this stuff!  I truly appreciate it!  Oh, and the 4T drive you linked to above just takes me back to this thread rather than to a product...any chance you could relink that?

I will cull some RAW files on that full EHD and then disconnect it from my computer.  Those files are at least a year old, I only pull stuff from there on occasion. 

Thank you so much for the info!!

cleared off some photos, apparently my computer was syncing photos from my phone which was what was taking up so much photo space.  I do most of my work off of an external as it is.  It is a WD My Passport.  Is the G-Drive better?  If so, faster, more durable?  Why is it better than what I have?

Lastly, do these scratch disk settings look correct?  I just updated CC today and it seems like so many of my custom settings have been reset and I can't remember what they were supposed to be!  Thanks!

What is a G-Drive?  Any brands better than others?  Something like this?  http://www.amazon.com/G-Technology-Thunderbolt-High-Performance-Solution-0G03124/dp/B00HQXUG2Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1454448466&sr=8-3&keywords=thunderbolt+G+drive

And THANK YOU so much for your help!

Thank you!  I'm already clearing off photos, but that is only going to take out about 20% of my problem there

OH!  It autofilled in both numbers as GB!   It should be 941 MB of 250 GB

I have a Mac desktop running Yosemite 10.10.4 and Photoshop just updated today. It is under 2 years old, and has 12GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 941GB free out of 250GB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I have never run a cleanup program.

My computer is a Mac Pro (Late 2013) It is a desktop pro, not a laptop pro.  I mostly work off of an external drive.  The one I currently work off of has about 1T of 2T free. 

I am also now getting a message saying my start up disk is full...clearly that is the case, I need to clean some stuff off, but will that be enough to help with the scratch disk warnings?  What should those settings be?

Thank you!!

Scratch disks have been filling up fast and locking up PS, so I ran the CC 2015 update hoping that would help.  Could you please tell me what the correct scratch disk settings should be?  Thanks!
