Photoshop Opening location not changing?

[courageous_Flair5897]

Hi all,

How do I have photoshop open from a certain folder everytime I hit (CMD - O) or File Open? 

Currently it constantly opens from my download folder and all my files are stored elewhere so I have to navigate to my files everytime. I chekced the prefs and "file handling" only allows me ot tell it where to SAVE to, not where to open from.

Please help!!

I don't know of a way to do that, but another volunteer may chip in. What I do is to drag the folder to the Sidebar, then click on it to select it when saving.

Details are on the Apple website. Select your OS at the top:

The Open dialog goes directly to the last folder you saved to. Just tested here and that's what it does every time.

I never open files this way so I hadn't noticed this behavior. But it makes perfect sense, and now that I know this I might use Open more often, instead of opening from Bridge or Windows Explorer.

(Unfortunately I've grabbed the shortcut ctrl+O for something else, so I need to reconsider this 🙂 )

Ahh I seee... So there is no way to set PS to open from a certain folder all the time?? 

That's super annoying. I have all my PSD files in a certain place that I open from all the time ( In my sidebar) but I save to a different folder and just want PS to go directly to my PSD folder anytime I hit CMD-O.... 

Adding a couple more clicks doesn't seem like a lot, but after opening my PSD folder hundreds of times a day, it starts to mount up! lol
