if you know photoshop well enough you will notice that some technoques work for some photos and not for others, basicly what i mean is that photo retouching is a thing you do (well, i do) by trial and error and eventually you learn some tricks that you really cant explain how you do them but they work.
also you should be aware of the unfixable.
the thing about working by trial and error is that you can waste a lot of time.

you'll run out of scratch disk first. Have PLENTY of spare GIGS on your HD

If you need to "re-touch" the photo it's obviously not the size of a billboard so you should be fine.
Re-touching is trial and error. There are a variety of technics- try and try again.

Why is obviously not the size of a billboard?

I would just assume that a billbard size image would not have to be re-touched. Most do not have a picture of gramma for 1924 that is the size of a billard.. if it is or you do- then yes shit will be slow on ANY computer.

Assume wrong, billboards are heavily retouched, just like any advertising image.

__or it could be an extremely hi-res scan. usually always needs some retouching.
..like someone else mentioned before: make sure you have plenty of room on your scratchdisk(s), this is key to survive a big ass photo-retouching session.

Does anyone have any sort of ratio for a healthy working image to scratch disk relationship?
1:20.... 35 MB image: 700 MB scratch?
Just curious...
