How Much Space Should I Allocate to a Scratch Disk in Illustrator CC 2017?


i create vector art in illustrator, , link in photoshop add detailed shading, have them both running @ same time, uses lot of ram.

i running early-2014 11" macbook air. has 4gb of ram, 256gb of ssd (with 100 allocated bootcamp partition), intel hd graphics 5000, , 1.4 ghz intel core i5. 20 gb free on laptop's internal hard drive @ given time. have 2tb external usb 3.0 hard drive 800gb free reallocated.

 

 

if make partition on external  hard drive illustrator use scratch disk, reasonable size it?

and best make 1 combined scratch disk both photoshop , illustrator use @ same time or 1 per program?

 

here example of last thing made reference. (this after shaded in photoshop. basic coloring , line art done in illustrator.) might make larger scenes more characters , objects in future, though.

(ps college student not money. recommending expensive "worth it" new laptop or external ssd not help.)

i have 1 80gb partition scratch disk , use both illustrator , photoshop. 3x max photoshop file(s) size , illustrator not use if link images , save pdf compatible off.

 

updating 4gb or ram should not set , give return dollar. memory upgrade kits macbook pro 2012 , later - 8gb or 16gb
