"Save as" window goes full screen and will not allow me to make it smaller. The re-size arrows appear on the edge but will not shrink the window at all.

Jeff!

 

Thanks for the tip. I clicked the Restore button and it Restored itself! 

I had removed the preferences, did not help. Removed and reinstalled photoshop, nothing.

 

Thank you again!

The re-size arrows don't work when windows (dialogs) like Save As are full screen.

 

Sometimes just double clicking on the Save As window Title Bar or right clicking on the Title Bar and clicking Restore will

resize the Save As windows smaller so the resize arrows will then work.

Hi @stevethornton 

 

1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings


Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

2. It may help if we could see your Photoshop beta System Info. Launch Photoshop beta, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

 

Thanks,
