  • The Issue:!--tgqphd||[]--> "Save for Web (Legacy) slice selections are locked together. Changing one slice format (JPEG/GIF) changes all slices globally." 

    I’m on a mac and using Photoshop 27.8 release. When I go to export multiple slices, like I’ve done a million times, it will now only allow me to export them as the same file type. Before I could save one slice as a gif or png while other slices would be a jpeg. Now, if I choose gif for one slice, it will make all the slices a gif. Same thing if I choose jpeg. I’ve worked through several troubleshooting steps to see if I could resolve the problem but to no avail. Im using the slice select tool as well when I export to choose individual slices but it keeps globally making changes. !--tgqphd||[]-->!--tgqphd||[]-->
