NancyA Posted June 16, 2021 The latest PS vs is driving me nuts. When I go to save a file whether I save as a .psd and close or whether I safe as a flattened jpg file, or a .psd as a jpg I get a box asking me if I want to save changes to .ARW file. See attachment. I did a save and it just does a .psd file. I did a cancel and I can't tell it does anything. I'm also attaching an image of my "file handling" settings. I think I have your latest recommendations.

Damien Symonds Posted June 16, 2021 This is because you're saving as a copy, yeah? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NancyA Posted June 16, 2021 No I'm not saving as a copy. Or at least I don't think so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 16, 2021 You must be. The behaviour you're describing is exactly what happens when you save as a copy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NancyA Posted June 16, 2021 You're right. When I go to "Save as" the "copy" box ALWAYS has a check in it. How do I get rid of that default? I never had it before. If I do a "save" the copy box is unchecked. I've always done "save as". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 16, 2021 Are your files 16-bit? That would do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 16, 2021 Then I don't know, sorry If it's not bit depth and it's not layers, I don't know why it's doing it. Maybe you need to reset PS's preferences? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NancyA Posted June 16, 2021 I reset the preferences and didn't change it other than now it is checked whether I do a .psd or a .jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NancyA Posted June 16, 2021 I fixed it! I think it must have been a combination of two things. Resetting preferences fixed the issue using file/save as but my shortcut key was still saving "save as a copy". I reset my shortcut key and now it "appears" to be working properly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
