Photoshop saves everything as a PDF-format

Hi,

In Photoshop CC 2017 i saved a few files as PDF. Now when i work wit other files (JPG, NEF, PSD) everytime i want to save my work, Photoshop automatically wants to save as PDF. I can change that to JPG or PSD, but that didn't happen before.

I looked in preferences, but i cannot find where i can change the standaard format for saving files.

thx.

Ann

    Presumably it's a "Photoshop PDF" and, as mentioned, it's sticky. Just save to anther format, such as Photoshop, which will give you a PSD file.

    Save a file once in your preferred format. It should revert to your preferred file format.

    The option seems to be sticky.

    Let us know if it works

    Are you stating that when you "Save As" you can't select another format in the Format drop-down menu?

    If so, you may have an application corruption and you should reset your Photoshop preferences, which is to be found under the General Tab in Photoshop Preferences.
