Problems saving PSD

[Nige]

Hi guys

So when i open an image in photoshop cc I save as a psd, then whatever i do after then save as a jpeg. Thats all fine but when i go to close the image or photoshop it asks me to save the psd again. it sounds trivial but its sooooo bloody annoying. I did a search & people had been told to go >preferences>plug-ins>generator & turn that off & that seems to work for some people but not for me.

Has anyone else come across this & found a fix??

Cheers

Not one that I've heard. Perhaps Damien knows? I kinda like the popup because it's a good reminder for me to go back to look at my history and make sure that I yes did in fact save the PSD prior to resizing and making my jpeg. 

Also, this isn't usually an issue because most of the time I edit a bunch of PSDs, and then turn them into jpegs all at once via Image Processor. That pop-up doesn't appear when you do that since it only creates new jpegs in a separate folder.

This happens if you have unflattened layers when you save the jpeg file; or if your file is 16-bit instead of 8-bit.

Its happening even if i don't do anything in photoshop (no layers) If i open a file, save as a psd, then save as jpeg when i close its asking me to save the psd again???

[Damien Symonds]

Then it must be 16-bit?

ok so just tried it again. If i open in photoshop & save straight away as psd, then save as jpeg all seems fine. If i open in photoshop, crop my psd & save all is fine, but if i open in photoshop, crop & save as psd then dodge or burn or something minor, save as jpeg then go to close its asking me to save the psd again

Yeah, duh.  See how it says "Layer 0"?  That's because your crop tool doesn't have "Delete Cropped Pixels" checked the way it should be.

But this is a moot point.  NEVER CROP YOUR PSD FILE, FOR ANY REASON.

I'm just trying different things to work it out. even if i don't crop my psd i save first & then crop, save as jpeg then try to close its asking to save psd again.

when you say this, what does that mean?

have i done (or not done) something to make this keep happening because my workflow hasn't changed & this started happening around a week ago

[Damien Symonds]

Choose your crop tool and look at the Options Bar.  See how that checkbox isn't checked?

[Nige]

Ok I must have hit the uncheck button at some stage, I've now checked it & all is working fine. 

Thanks everyone for your input & help.
