Title: "Not enough space on the default volume"
Post by: Remo Nonaz on July 19, 2012, 09:21:33 pm

I'm trying to do a four image merge to 'HDR Pro in Photoshop' from Lr4. When I do this I get the error message, 'There is not enough space on the default volume to complete this operation'. I tried cutting back to three images and got the same error message, though this process has worked with three images before. I checked the preferences>performance settings and I have 7175MB of RAM available and over 400GB of scratch disk space. I searched the web with the error message in quotes and found no posts or comments closely related to the problem.

Any ideas what this is and how it is resolved?

Remo, I think the message may refer to hard drive storage space.
Ps doesn't have enough space on the hard drive to put the merged image.

...except that I checked my primary (F) photo hard drive where I store images and it still has over half a TB of available space. I know 32-bit HDR images can be large, but not THAT large  ;D

OK. I figured it out. I had two drives checked for use; C and F. C is a small system SSD with only a little room left. F is a 1.5TB rotational drive with 400GB available. I shut off the C drive leaving Ps only the big rotational drive to write to and the problem went away.
