So I have a very small hard drive, about 60 gb, so I use a large external drive for all my stuff. I was making a star wars background and when I was a few minutes in, I tried to merge layer down, but it said I don't have enough space to do that and some other errors and then closed the program completely. So just as a warning, make sure you have enough space on your hard drive before you make any big pictures. Developers fix this please
