Ok, thanks for the info. In looking through the preferences, it says that my photoshop is using 50% of my available memory - I have 697mb available, so I would think that I shouldn't be too low on memory? Should I up this number? Also, What resolution do you typically work in? What's the difference between screen resolution and print resolution? If you were working in 300dpi that lizard started life out as roughly 2x3" and then enlarged to 9X5"? Or is there no need to change the "resolution" under "Image size" to anything greater than 72dpi? Maybe I have my settings way too large? Thanks for answering all my annoying questions
