Question

Photoshop CC 2024 takes ages to open any file and severely limited saving format options.

I tried Photoshop CC 2024, and am not impressed.  First of all, it takes up to 5 minutes to open any file, even a small JPG file.  What's worse is I can't save to *.PNG files anymore, which I need to do for my UltraHD Texture pack for Doom.  I can only save as:

Photoshop (*.PSD, *.PDD,*.PSDT)

Large Image Format (*.PSB)
OpenEXR (*.EXR)
Photoshop Raw (*.RAW)

Portable Bit Map (*.PBM, *.PHM, *.PPM, *.PNM, *.PRM, *.PAM)

Radiance (*.HDR, *.RGBE, *.XYZE)

Photoshop will not let me save ANY other formats,  like *.JPG, *.PNG, *.BMP, etc.

 

I tried enabling legacy save as, in the file handling section of the preferences.  No dice.  How am I supposed to make my textures if I can't save them as *.PNG?!

This is a link to my online repository showing what I have been making with Photoshop, but can't make it with Photoshop 2024, due to no longer being able to save as a *.PNG files

    I went to Photoshop 2023, and I STILL can't save to *.JPG, *.PNG, *.BMP, etc.  WTF were Adobe smoking when they decided to pull this crap?!!  I just want to create my content, but now I can't due to this massive problem.  I might have to abandon my project and terminate my subscription, as I am not going to pay for a program I can no longer use, through no fault of my own. On PS CC 2023, most of the transparency options are STILL greyed out.  I always use Multiply, Screen, and Overlay transparencies when I make my textures.  Every one of those modes is now greyed out.  There are no words in the English language (or any other language) to express how frustrated and angry I am over this!!!!

    What is the last version of Photoshop that supports the full list of saving formats and not being locked out of most of the transparency settings?  I want to revert to that version, provided that it is supported by Filter Forge 13 Pro plugin.

      Also, I can't use most of the transparency options in this version of Photoshop.  Many of them (like Overlay) are always now greyed out.  This never happened to me before on ANY other version of Photoshop.  I will revert to an older version as it is now physically impossible to create my content with Photoshop CC 2024, due to these glaring and severe issues!
