Preferences — Application — PSD Import
When you import a PSD picture, PSD Import creates a preview according to your current
settings in the Display pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu). To
display Adobe Photoshop images, PSD Import uses a cache to speed up the display. To
help control the memory usage and redraw speed, you can optimize the PSD Import
environment through display settings and you can modify the cache settings through the
PSD Import pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu).
To create the cache in the preferences folder, click Application Preferences Folder. To
create the cache in a different folder, click Other Folder and select a different folder. To
set the size of the cache folder, enter a value in the Maximum Cache Folder Size field.
You may want to clear the PSD Import cache if previews look incorrect. To clear this cache,
click Clear Cache.
