snapshot name

Report · Feb 19, 2025

Dear Adobe!
The Photoshop does not offer to set a name for the new snapshot, with the "alt" pressed, like, for example, a new layer, or channel. This interferes and creates confusion when recording actions. The name can only be changed for an already created snapshot.

Thank you!

Hi @Michael232074362sab could you share your workflow where you see the issue? Please share the steps you are doing so we can make sure we can reproduce this.

1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac) 

C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings

Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.
