    Hello everyone,
    Have been lurking for awhile and have already gotten valuable tips, love the forum and look forward to learning more.

    In Painter 5.5 Under General Preferences there is a place to choose location for Scratch Disk. What is that? It's not the same as Win98 Virtual memory is it? Any recomendations for where to have the Scratch disk located?

    Also Metacreation had a place to go to download new libraries and resources, Does Corel have a similar service for Painter? If so where is it? as I have not been able to find much on Corel's web site for Painter.

    Thanks for any info, and a great forum.

    Graphic applications like Photoshop and Painter use their own memory management schemes because they can be optimized for image data. Scratch disk is just the temp file space for the program. Since some people allocate seperate disk partitions just for this sort of thing (to make it work faster or manage the system better) the ability to select the drive was added in Painter.
