Why doesn't PS have an autosave function? Every time the application crashes, i lose a work of mine, which i've been practicing for hours.

Remember that Adobe now has an upgrade policy that requires users to stay in lockstep with new versions in order to receive upgrade discounts. A lot of users want Autosave. This is a feature that would make people interested, myself included, in buying a new version. Compared to a lot of other features released lately and UI changes that seem to me like window dressing rather than improvements, this one would improve user productivity, save us some valuable time, and make the product worth buying.

Chris Cox commented earlier that journaling would use gigabytes of data per minute. If that's the case, then the product might need to be rearchitected to reduce the data flow for some operations. I think that effort might bear a lot of fruit in making a better application with tighter code, as well as make journaling possible.

An AUTO SAVE function would be very interesting. Another nice feature would be something that lets you save all the sets of actions together. It is very annoying to lose a psd / work 5 or 10 hours, and is annoying to have to save a whole set of actions - I wish I could save all at once!

A good idea, perhaps cliché and formulaic, but it would be very nice if CS6 had it.

A função AUTO SAVE seria muitíssimo interessante,outra coisa legal seria uma função que permitisse salvar todos os conjuntos de actions juntos,são soluções mais práticas para os usuários,as vezes falta a luz e é muito chato perder um psd/trabalho de 5 ou 10 horas,é igualmente chato ter que salvar conjunto por conjunto de actions,queria poder salvar todos de uma vez só!

Uma idéia talvez bem clichê e manjada mas no CS6 seria legal ter isso,é

Doesn't Painter do journaling? (though not an Adobe Product) Just wondering how that and this differs. Why can Painter do it and Photoshop can't?

Hi there... I'm a newer user of CS5 and (probably) asking what you have certainly heard multiple times. No autosave?! I must nieve in my thinking that just about every program had that feature. The biggest hurt today, though, was having the program crash as I was saving. Hoping for a feature like this as an option for future updates 🙂 ~ Sherry
