After the change to the save as and save as copy, the PNG save option is completely missing from the dropdown menu. Is there a fix or will there be a fix for this? I'm using a Windows PC.

I know the screenshots I'm posting are on a MAC but the path to save a PNG is the same.  I hope this helps

That should be happening! Would you mind confirming if you are using Save As or Save a Copy? Or is the option to save the file an a PNG is not available in either of the options? Which version of Photoshop are you working on?

 

If you are on the latest version of Photoshop (22.4.1) & the option to save the file as PNG is not available in Save a Copy, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2Qzc0K3

Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG

 

Let us know how it goes!

Hi,

 

We're sorry about the experience with Photoshop due to the option to Save As PNG being missing from the menu. Would you mind checking if you are working on a 32-bit document or a CMYK document? If you are, please change that to a 16-bit or an 8-bit RGB file by going to the Image menu, then Mode to check if that helps.
