mrswright5 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 ACR keeps erasing my adjustments. Do you know why this might be happening? I always cull first by choosing the ones I will edit by giving them a 5* rating, then I edit. The first time it hid several files and I couldn't find them, so I re-uploaded them. Now for the past few days when I go back to finish editing, the adjustments and ratings are gone, so I keep having to start over. I tried to download the most recent update, but now I'm starting over AGAIN. Any tips/tricks? Thanks! Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hi Julie, which version of Photoshop do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswright5 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 It's Photoshop CC. I thought maybe I needed to update, so I did. But it's still doing the same thing. To be specific, the new one says Bridge CC 2015, Photoshop CC 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswright5 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 I thought it might be disk space, but I have 12GB available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha LaRue Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Can you fill this out real quick for us? http://www.damiensymonds.com.au/thread1.html If you mean just 12 GB of hard drive space, that could definitely be part of the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswright5 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I have a Mac laptop running 10.10.5 and Photoshop CC. It is under 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 12GB free out of 250GB. The last time I shut down was more than 24 hours ago. I have never run a cleanup program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're lucky your computer even boots up at all. Brian always says you need at least 1/3rd free space on your hard drive. For you, 85GB at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Run CleanMyMac pronto. And do some serious backing up to clear space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswright5 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Do you recommend purchasing? It only cleared 500 MB for free. And should I "Add on" gemini 2". I am a little worried it might erase similar edits (MoriahBdaycrop.psd and MoriahBday2.psd for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswright5 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well it says "Get your Mac the brand new duplicate finder. Gemini 2 saves even more space on your Mac: it finds duplicates, spots similar files, and cleans them all out. System Requirements: OS X 10.10+" Do you think it's safe/good to use?

Damien Symonds Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 @Brian, can you help with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Gemini is the leading duplicate file finder for the Mac. 250GB is microscopic by today's standards. 12 GB free is really-really bad and the source of your problems. With a 250GB drive, you need to be hyper anal on what gets stored. No photos or files. Only operating system and programs. Gemini should help, it will generate a list of duplicates and let you decide what to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Oh, if you want CleanMyMac to do anything substantial, you need to pay for it. I highly recommend it and you should be able to find a coupon code online to help lower the cost. Search for "MacPaw coupon code." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cleared enough space for the adjustments to come back so I didn't have to re-edit this set of images! I need to do some real backing up this weekend so I can get photos off my computer still, but it was a start. Thank you all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
