Photoshop makes me save all images every time I quit and I end up having to force quit all the time because I dont want to save them all.   There are so many.   Couldnt find any info about this.  Must be doing something wrong.  Hoping someone can help me

Correct answer LAMY2017

Most apps require you to decide if your open documents are to be saved or not; not just Ps or Adobe. 

 

You don't have to use Force Quit -- when you're ready to close Photoshop and don't want to save any open documents,

use File>Close All. When you're prompted to Save/Don't Save/Cancel for the first file, place a check in the Apply to All box, then click Don't Save.

 

All your open documents -- one or a thousand and one -- will be closed without further dialog. Then you can close Photoshop.
