@2stepbay If I treated my customers like Adobe us, I would be bankrupt in no time.

To date (over a year later), 6,200 views, 420 comments (and counting), yet Adobe reps remain clueless while a very basic software change remains unchanged. Welcome to the Adobe version of 21st century customer satisfaction and follow-up. 🙄

Affinity has its own UI blunders, but not necessarily worse than Adobe's. And the price is a lot more reasonable.

I find it interesting that Photoshop files show more layer effect details in Affinity.

You have just revealed a lot about yourself! On the internet, this can live forever; good luck on your future interviews!

This isn't news. This thread is ancient.

The solution is simple: Stop giving Adobe your money and support competent software development.

@Johan_Elzenga If you edit a JPG sufficiently that it wants to save as a PSD, then select JPG, it will ask "Do you want to save over the original?" Say "yes" and it still saves with the text "copy" before the .jpg suffix.


Frustrating as hell. Why haven't they fixed this yet?

I started using "export to as...jpg" instead of "save as" and it will save over the file, instead of as a copy. Hope this helps someone!
