RAM Disk for Photoshop Scratch Files

GiliSoft RAM Disk can be a practical fit for Photoshop scratch-style workflows on Windows when temporary image-editing data, preview-heavy processing, and disposable working files benefit from faster temporary storage.

Why Scratch-Style Image Workflows Fit a RAM Disk

Image-editing workflows often generate temporary data that is intensively used during active work but does not belong in permanent storage. A RAM-backed drive can help separate that temporary layer from the main project files and SSD.

Good Examples

  • Scratch-style temporary files during large edits.
  • Preview-heavy image processing workflows.
  • Disposable intermediate data created during active sessions.
  • Temporary workspaces where speed matters more than retention.

Best Fit

This page is strongest for users thinking about temporary scratch-style Photoshop workflows rather than the broader topic of image editing itself.
