Real World Photoshop CS5 for Photographers: Virtual Memory | Virtual Memory. This excerpt from Real World Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Photographers shows you how to fool your computer into thinking it has more RAM than it really does. Virtual memory is a programming trick that fools the computer into thinking it has more RAM than it really does. It works by reserving a specially marked amount of space on your hard drive that gets treated as RAM. The real, physical RAM is then used as a cache for the virtual memory stored on the disk. If the data that the computer is looking for is cached in RAM, your computer won't slow down, but if the computer has to go searching on the hard disk instead, things can slow down a lot.

Operating systems create one or more virtual memory swap files on your hard disk that serve as virtual memory to let multiple applications grab RAM as needed. The Photoshop Scratch File and the Operating System Swap File. A few Photoshop filters (Lens Flare, for instance) require that you have enough physical RAM available to load the entire image.
