P: Ability to arrange & customize save-as file formats so popular formats are at the top

Photoshop supports about 20 formats, but I only use 4 or 5 of them. It's bugged me since 5.5 to have to fish for jpeg somewhere in the middle of the list. Can the file formats get arranged by most commonly used? And maybe allow us to remove stuff like targa and large file format that nobody uses.

wild fact(oid): Photoshop still has IFF in the list. IFF predates Windows 1.0 by almost a year.

the other thing for me is how unreadable the format list is in Win10...
my display is 3500px wide and the save as window is open to a normal width. Everytime i go to Save As, i still have to scan the list a few times to find the format i want.
and i've been using Ps professionally for 25 years!

It's wild, I posted this almost a decade ago.
I'm still using photoshop, and still accidentally picking jpeg2000 sometimes lol.

Keep encouraging votes y'all!
Ideas with fewer votes have gotten implemented.
It's not unrealistic to hope for it.

I think it'd be funny if 50+ year old me, is saying "almost there people! Adobe's bound to listen soon!"

I hope everyone is clicking on the "VOTE" button up the top, otherwise the comment is wasted.

I put it on Facebook on Adobe's page, and I think about three people liked it. Not enough, and of course no reply...

Yes it’s absurd. They can code a whole new photoshop on the iPad but not allow you to customize the save menu like you can customize another menus. Shameful indeed as we need less things to wade through every time we save an image.

Sigh...

I've been living with this for years decades as well. I use PSD, JPG, and PNG -- that's it. But like everyone else, I have to wade through 20+ file formats whenever I do a save-as, which I do frequently. e.g. to change name or file format.

FFS Adobe, just fix this already. If y'all don't want to code a UI fix, fine, then at least let us choose the file formats we want to see via the registry.

There's too much noise on Facebook. Any suggestion posted there will just get lost; it is no more likely Adobe will take that seriously then that they will take this forum seriously. A better strategy would be to tell all of the Photoshop users you know to vote for this by clicking the Vote button at the top of this page.

It's done, but the way they have their page set up, only they can post on the page. You need to look under "Visitor Posts". I also sent them a DM with the same info, but you won't be able to see that. Sent them the same one in 2018, never got an acknowledgement...

Do it! This is just a pathetic oversight and laziness on adobes part.
