Save doesn't work, forces "Save As"... no, I won't go into preferences to change something that should be default behavior.


Personally, I'm getting sick of all these changes-for-the-sake-of-change that are the direct result of your subscription model nonsense. I know lots of others are, too.. unfortunately, they're not as vocal as I am... hopefully that changes soon. 😉


As a user of PS since the 90s, one of my favorite things about Photoshop these days is showing people alternatives to it... speaking of the 90s, I wonder what Alanis would say about that.

You can use Save as a Copy if you refuse to revert to the previous behavior in Preferences > File Handling > File Saving Options:

  • Enable Legacy Save As
  • Do not append Copy to filename

 

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.

 

Your complaints need to go to Apple:
