PSD files are opening flattened

Question

Lately when I open PSD files in Photoshop (25.6.1), they open with the layers flattened.  If I close the file (after making no edits), I am asked if I want to save the changes.  I say no and then reopen the file and magically all the layers are there again.  A bit of a nuisance.  Anyone know what's going on here?

Thank you very much. I think I have figured it out. When I open the file
into Photoshop from LR, somehow the default option got changed from Open
Original to Open Copy With Lightroom Edits and I was blindly accepting the
default. When I go back to Open Original, everything is in order. Silly
mistake. Thanks again.

Hi @bsomberg!Thanks for reaching out. Could you share a bit more about what’s happening? How are you currently saving your files? Also, just to double-check—are Layers enabled?If you haven’t already, try updating to the latest version of Photoshop (26.6.1) and see if that helps resolve the issue.Let me know how it goes!Best,Alek
