Can't save as .jpeg [PS 22.4.2]

I searched through the forum but couldn't find anmything sinilar to what I am experiencing.

 

W10 Pro Photoshop 22.4.2

 

Periodically when I go to save a PSD as a JPG, the JPG option is not in the Save As dialog. If I reboot my PC everything is fine and I can Save my PSD as aa JPG. Some have suggested flatting your PSD files. That doesn't work for me. I need to keep my files intack for later editing. I just don't want to have to reboot to get rid of this problem.

 

I only use PS periodically and haven't kept track when this started. If it happens, it happens all attempts when I first use PS in a session. After I reboot, the entire session is OK.

 

After rebooting, if I enter and use PS, then exit and re-enter it still is fine. Its only after some time that the next time I go to use PS that this happens.

    Please read this document. Photoshop has changed the Save and Save As policies in the latest PS builds.

    The latest build 22.4.2 gives you an option to revert back.

    Hi

    In the update to 22.4.2, you can revert to the previous behavior in Preferences > File Handling > File Saving Options:

    • Enable Legacy Save As
    • Do not append Copy


    See this help page for details and cautions:

      I saw this in othe threads on Save As but something is different here. I don't have Save as a Copy in the File Menu and the Save as a Copy options are not in the File Handling Dialog. So why is mine different?

      Changed Default to 22.4.2 and the Save as a Copy is in the menu. I'll see now if the behaovour is different


      When Apple made changes to the API and broke the Save As in Photoshop, the developers were left to find a fix that was cross-platform, so if you are trying to save to a format and the current file has features that are not supported, those formats are now in Save a Copy. You can use the legacy behavior using the steps in my first post (scroll up).

       

      For my part, I'm keeping the new behavior.
