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 think I just stumbled upon a workaround fix!! If you use the "Save For Web" feature it seems to actually overwrite the file rather than saving it as a copy. Let me know if this works for you!!
Yeah, it didn't do it ONE time, so I got overly excited. I hate you Photoshop. I really hate you Adobe. If I could find a good substitute for Lightroom, Illustrator, and InDesign, I'd kick you to the curb.
Just checking to see if anyone's got a better workaround. I only just switched to 2020. In fact, I held on to CS5 as long as possible, because I actually owned CS5 and didn't have the money-grubbing scumbags at Adobe reaching into moy pocket every month. But Catalina doesn't support CS5, so I had to grudgingly upgrade, and so far 2020 is *maddening*.
Every single time I have to overwrite a file (which I do a few dozens times a day), I deliberately tell Photoshop to overwrite, it tells me it's overwriting, but instead it creates a second file with "copy" in the name. So I have to manually delete the original and then rename the new file. A few dozen times a day. And I'm paying them every month for the rest of my life for the privilege! I'm about ready to find Adobe's headquarters and burn it to the ground.
Same issue here. Outrageous behavior by Adobe. It's been over 3 months... They just don't care about their customers. Pity. This used to be a reliable Software Maker.
Doubt it will do any good what-so-ever, but just adding myself to the growing list of increasingly frustrated users with this issue. I honestly can't think of ONE good excuse for this to not have been corrected IN 3 MONTHS. I'm with Laura, if I could find a decent substitute I would be done.
Has any ever noticed or seen this message "File must be saved as a copy with this selection" and the same icon next to layers. But there's nothing you can deselect or change. It seems like it's telling you it will be a copy but doesn't give you an alternative.
Just sent the wrong file to a client. It's my fault, but come on adobe! This should be fixed. Not only is it costing me time but it will most likely cost me a client.
Good work around if you are working with in that same folder, but when jumping from project to project you have to dig back into the exact directory you want the file saved to each time, rather than it going to the directory in which the original file was created. There's gotta be a fix for this 🙂 Your tip will help workaround it for now. Thanks Hila.
Yes, and also I could not change or select. I think it must be part of the same glitch. But I wonder why Adobe is taking so long to fix it. When saving, I now have to find the original and delete it so that PS will save as a jpg. and not a copy... or save it as a copy, find the original, delete it and then change the name of the copy to the name without copy. Very frustrating and very time consuming.
Adobe, fix this. There's no stupid little cloud feature that anyone wants more than this major productivity waster. Your software causes errors in our work. You might as well be Corel.
Just Googled this issue as I thought I was going mad. Glad its not just me, but really Adobe, its a simple problem that can lead to larger issues with the wrong JPGs floating around.
I updated to macOS Catalina 10.15.03, and the bug in Adobe Photoshop 2020 still occurs, when you want to overwrite files while saving. My Photoshop version is 21.0.3. I've created a short video, which demonstrates the bug. This bug causes a lot more working time on routine tasks. Adobe, please fix this as soon as possible.
