P: Saving copy not saving over jpg file

NP DB.

That does seem to work, thanks Cezz! This will help until a proper fix for the bug

I found a work around. It is very annoying, and got no help from an absolutely WORTHLESS 40 minutes with adobe support (where they asked me if I tried not doing save as but just save, and I was like...you idiot that won't make a jpeg from a psd. But I digress.)

Work around:
I set my quick export from png to jpeg, and that allows you to overwrite. It's the only way I could do it.
So command k > export. Select jpeg instead of png and then set the quality to 100. And that has worked for now.

Just wanted to confirm this is happening to me as well, whenever I'm trying to replace an existing JPEG file. Found out about it when I accidentally submitted two JPEGs to a client.

I'm using the latest version of Catalina and Photoshop.

it will save over .psd files. Can't save over tif files... I dont know how long this will work but i thought that i would share my findings.

Hi, I recently was forced to update and do this as well. (Lost my job due to the pandemic had to give them back the laptop, and OS wouldn't support the older version of CS I had on my personal laptop). I'm trying to help out a buddy and my god it's just name1.jpeg, name2.jpeg with every minuscule change. Did we get any work arounds?! I'm going insane that the files I drag into other CS apps aren't updating anymore because there's no way to override.

This is my workaround. 1st Save your layered file, 2nd Flatten image (from layer panel drop-down menu), 3rd File Save As the file to the file name you want to replace. Once you done these 3 steps your opened file is now the replaced file. No need to find it in your folder to open. TRY A TEST FILE first so you get the hang of it. It works perfectly for me.


Yeah, my dumb heinie spoke too soon as well. I forgot the Catch-22 of the "layer" trap.

Sorry, I spoke too soon..... It does not work. I will continue to use my method of flatten image save as which is the only solution that works for me.
