I use photoshop CS. Anything is in order until early this week. When I
crop photo, it keep displaying a message saying that my scratch disk is
full but i have at least free 20GB harddisk space.
Can anyone offer me a hand?

Ideally your Scratch Disk would be on a separate, dedicated hard drive
entirely. Barring that, it should be on a free partition. 45-60GB isn't too
much for a Scratch Disk. If yours in on your primary drive then it's sharing
space/memory with your operating system and any other app that you have
running.

That said, sometimes I see this error when it can't be true. Saving my work
(if possible), quitting and rebooting usually fixes the problem. Beyond that
a common fix is deleting preferences, but I don't that's necessary. You may
well be out of scratch disk space.

on the little triangle at bottom of the frame, use the efficiency settings
to see how PS is using your system resources, if it looks low, get another
Hard Drive and/or more memory. Can you use fewer layers? Purge clipboard?
history? to save a little resources.

Are you working on a larger image than usual? more layers?
Did you put in inches instead of px to the crop dialog? I once did and it
crashed. I put like 350 inches x 500 inches for the crop size instead of
pixels LOL

pixels LOL
