Saving Your Work Automatically
Photoshop is an amazingly stable program (it hardly ever crashes for me, well...unless I'm
in front of an audience, then it senses fear), but if for some reason it does crash (hey, it
happens), you're not out of luck if you haven't saved the document you're working on in
a while because there's an Auto Save feature that saves your document automatically at
whatever amount of time you choose. You do this by going under the Photoshop (PC: Edit)
menu, under Preferences, and choosing
File Handling
. At the bottom of the File Saving
Options section, you'll see the Automatically Save Recovery Information Every checkbox
and a pop-up menu set to 10 Minutes by default (so, the most you can lose at any time is 10
minutes worth of work). But, if you can't bear to lose even that, you can choose 5 Minutes,
or go the other way and increase the amount of time before it saves (for the brave at heart).
