Photoshop suddenly using RLE compression without asking

[Ocean 11]

RLE TIFFs are over three times the size of ZIP compressed ones, so I don't want to use them.

But recently Photoshop CC has been using RLE without asking.

The dialogue on first save disappeared.

I have to use the "save as" command to be able to access ZIP compression.

There is not command that tells Photoshop what compression to use in preferences.

How can I get the dialogue back where I can choose what to use. I'm sick of 1 GB files for a file with 6 layers.

In Photoshop Preferences > File Handling, is "Ask before saving Layered Tiff files" checked on?

If that does not work, reset your Preferences.

Thank you, gener7

Looks like this unchecked itself

Glad you are good to go
