P: Saving copy not saving over jpg file

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

working on Catalina OS. saving file extension works now but does not save over jpg when saving it creates a copy which is annoying and time consuming to fix

I'm on macOS 10.15.6 and 21.2.4 is there

That's my issue then. I'm on 10.15.5. (US) NOW I have to check with IT to see if I can download that... WHEN DOES IT END?!?!

Kidding, thanks for the OS info.

[sushicat12]

what version of Catalina are you on? Im OS 10.15.6

[chazzcron]

10.15.7 here.  Another toilet flush for Adon'tbe. Did not fix.

[sebaguila@gmail.com]

just test the new version 21.2.4  on Catalina 10.15.6, same problem different version. FU...........................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FCP_Nichole]

Then perhaps I shant bother IT about updating Catalina just yet...

I'm on 10.15.6, but I just checked quickly because it's late, it seems to work. Will report tomorrow. If you guys are on 21.2.4 and 10.15.6 Catalina it means either I am mistaken or you or it's up to the specific mac we are using which seems unreasonable.

Off topic, Adobe worked for me faster on Mojave with lesser MacBook Pro. It had some issues, but it was much faster overall. I had to upgrade to MacBook Pro 16" and it only works on Catalina. For sure I won't be updating to Big Sur for as long as I can.

[FCP_Nichole]

I was light years faster on all fronts (saving, opening files, opening PROGRAMS for that matter, it takes almost a full minute and a half for InDesign to boot... am I being ridiculous with that expectation?) on Mojave. I had to upgrade to Catalina in order to upgrade my Adobe so that I could open files I was getting from clients (who don't know how to idml). And then the nightmare began...

The trouble is that if we don't have any troubles, we don't seek to find solutions. Google any new laptop and only *mostly good results come up. Once you have it and search for solution to your problem you discover, there's so much problems that previous os. Don't upgrade, unless you have no choice.

I made a video to explain this issue to friends a few months ago.

Has anyone tried this on Big Sur yet? I have the beta running on my MacBook Air, might install Photoshop later to test it out.

[Vanessa_Fisher]

I can confirm, I have updated Photoshop to v 21.2.4 and it appears to have been resolved! Hallelujah. (Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6)

EDIT: I was mistaken. I tested initially on a newly created psd file. When opening an existing psd and testing - it does NOT work.

How such a small thing could have such a huge effect on my workflow!

@Vanessa Fisher  After working in ps for 15+ years, this is not s small thing, Vanessa 😅 Since moving to Catalina this issue was bugging me the whole time. Plus not having all my swatches in one place but divided by freaking folders!

[Vanessa_Fisher]

Don't get me started on the colour swatches!

[chazzcron]

Full on 30 years here. Pretty sure they haven't REALLY cared since Live picture died in the 90's. For them, it's ALLLL about getting new users, and gimping some longstanding workflows just to mollify iPad users.

[herrzeba]

... and that new "object selection tool" which is just a laugh!

[SideShowScott]

Yep. Sorry kids, it's still broken. 21.2.4 Mac OS 10.15.6

[Astroboy2000]

I updated my Photoshop to 21.2.4. No, it did not fix the issue. Very disappointed.

macOS Catalina 10.15.7

@Vanessa Fisher Sadly, I can confirm the issue has NOT been resolved. 😞

(My best guess is you may have tested using a flattened file vs. layered file)

Catalina 10.15.6

Photoshop 21.2.4

[angelikiEmblem]

I'm on Catalina 10.15.7 and the 21.2.4 did NOT resolve the issue for me.

[StevePipho]

I tried with both a flattened image and unflattened.. Flattened image saved no problem, unflattened saved a copy instead of replace.

[Vanessa_Fisher]

I did not pre-flatten my psd as per my usual workflow (the reason I have always done it this way is for speed and no chance of accidently flattening the psd).

But I did create a new brand new psd just to test this out.
I have gone to open a previous psd to test, and you are correct, this has NOT been fixed!

[PebblePlace]

Almost all my .PSDs are simple images with no layers.  There is nothing to flatten.  Since there is nothing to flatten, the option to do so is greyed out.  If I try to save a PSD as JPEG and rewrite an existing JPEG - it ads "copy" to the end of the file name. Makes no sense...  PS asks, "do you want replace..." Yes, of course.  But no joy...  So frustrating...

[digitaltwist]

The Photoshop 21.2.4 update DID NOT fix this issue. Hard to believe this bug is still ongoing. Very annoying.

[sebaguila@gmail.com]

I'm so frustrated about this I'm open to consider a software alternative, any ideas?
