Question

PSE started operating differently .... why???

Yesterday my PSE 15 began operating differently ... nothing special happened that I am aware of, but I noticed the following changes ....

#1 - when I modified an image and went to save it, the file name presented as (example) IMG-4500_edited-1.jpg.  The "_edited-1" never used to appear, just the original filename of the image.  I have no idea where the "_edited-1" came from or how to return to what it used to do.

#2 - I have several sub-folders to hold various rodeo activity images, i.e. bareback, bull riding, barrel racing, etc.  After I crop and adjust the images as I want, and now change the name from "_edited-1" to what I want, I select the folder I wish to save the modified image in, and then click on save.  After the save process goes through the normal series (the file size, other choices it offers me in saving, etc.) it then saves the file.  However, the file is saved into the original folder it came from, NOT the folder I specifically selected.  I now have to move (drag) the modified image into the folder I wanted it saved to.

I am assuming there are some settings that somehow got screwed up, but I haven't been able to find what to change to return to how the system operated two days ago.  Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on and how to fix it???

I think I stumbled onto it ... the option to "save in a Version set with the original" was checked ... I must have inadvertently done that.  I unchecked it and seems to be ok now.  Still have a question on why it goes back to the beginning of the folder instead of allowing the user to pick up where they left off ....????

Yes, you have stumbled onto the reason for the change in behavior. 

As for going back to the beginning of the folder, I assume that you are just using the Editor's File/open dialog to access your images.  If you use the Organizer to open your files, once you complete an edit and save the image, you can return to the Organizer which will have the focus on the just-edited image.

You are correct, I am using the Editor to open the file, as my preference has been to use "Open as Camera Raw" since I found the exposure and other adjustments superior to the standard PSE Editor tweaks.  Is there a  way within Organizer to open a jpg file in Camera Raw instead of the PSE Editor?

I forgot to ask another question ....  When I am in a folder containing a few hundred shots, and I select one for editing, when I am finished editing, I would expect that PSE should return to the original folder at the image I last reviewed and selected, allowing me to continue from where I left off.  But NO ... PSE returns me to the very beginning of the folder, making me have to scroll down to the spot I was at.  This is a TERRIBLE waste of time and very frustrating.  Is there some setting I have been unable to find for the last several iterations of PSE ... going back as far as I remember with PSE, this has been a sore point.  I would think that they have had several years to fix this, so I'm hoping I just need to look somewhere else to change a setting ...????  If so, where?  Or is this just something that PSE design teams don't think is important?????  Help.
