    Spinning Beach Ball

    Posted by Rob Hindley on September 19, 2006 at 9:40 pm

    This has probably already been explained…

    I am working in Photoshop with a 200Mb file. When I apply some changes to the file (eg colour mode change) the cursor becomes the beach ball and the program seems to freeze but eventually applies changes.

    I am working in Tiger with several other programs open.

    My concern is that I have already had a hard drive die on me – what are the chances?!!!!

    Try quitting other apps. How much RAM do you have – could probably use more..? That is not a tiny file… the beachball is the app ‘thinking’.

    Thanks,
    Harry.
