OZ you should not be having to "clean up" after Photoshop each time you use it. The last time i saw that problem i think was with PS5 or 4... and even then, not very often (for myself anyway). But you should definately not have this problem with PS6 -- if that is indeed the version you have.

And also... be careful about giving PS any more than 70% hard ram/resources. Especially if you have 256 or above. 70% should be more than sufficient for most any document. After that, let PS use the swap file/scratch disk to make get whatever else it needs.

Going above 70% will start to show an effect on your system performance, and could even slow PS down instead of helping it, like you might think it would. They need to be balanced -- PS & your OS.

It would be better to simply allocate PS a larger swap file. Give it a bigger chunk of your hard drive to use for swap. In fact... some guys even get a whole new drive just to let PS use.

Anywho... i thought i should clear that up a little. [:I
