Improving the save as function

Dear Adobe Photoshop Team,

I am writing to provide feedback on a change I’ve noticed in recent versions of Photoshop regarding the file-saving process. In older versions of Photoshop, users were able to save a PSD file and, while that file was being saved in the background, initiate another "Save As" operation to save the file in a different format (e.g., JPG) and even edit the file name without having to wait for the initial save to finish. This feature greatly enhanced the workflow, allowing to work more efficiently, especially when dealing with large files or saving multiple versions of an image.

However, in the latest versions of Photoshop, this behavior has been altered, and users are now required to wait for the current save operation to complete before they can start a new save process. While I understand that this change may have been introduced for stability or performance reasons, it has unfortunately slowed down my workflow and reduced my productivity.

I would like to kindly request that Adobe consider restoring the ability to save multiple files concurrently, as well as the ability to start a "Save As" operation (including renaming the file) while another save is still in progress. The previous behavior allowed for a much smoother and more efficient workflow, and its removal has created an inconvenience for many users like myself.

Thank you for considering this request. I hope this feature can be reintroduced in a future update to improve the overall user experience in Photoshop. I know this issue already has several years but hope it can be fixed

Thanks

Pedro Campos
