I remember reading that Photoshop uses temp memory, and that changing its memory allocation can cause flakiness. If he had increased it, that might have been what was causing problems. Thus, reducing it fixed them.

Classic or 9.2

I recently had problems with 9.2 not classic, with any application. I tried After Effects, Photoshop, even Internet Explorer. They all complained if they had more than 300mb of RAM. I am wondering if this is a 9.2 thing - perhaps in order to make classic run smoother, I don't know.

Photoshop does indeed have it's own built in virtual memory, but still it likes you to give it as much RAM as you can. It's not uncommon to see users giving it 800+ MB! At high memory settings it loads the image entirely in RAM.

I have 896 MB, and in OS 9.2.2 I give Photoshop about 500 MB.

I also noticed however, that I could not run Photoshop in Classic with that much memory allocated to it, even though it runs fine in 9.2.2 that way.

I also had to decrease it's memory settings to get it to run in Classic.
