Save for Web file location frustation

Hi!

When saving for web, the dialog remembers my last Save for Web location.

This is really frustrating because it means I have to navigate to the JPEGs folder for the image folder I am exporting every time. (I want to export into the same folder as the TIFF I'm working on, but in a JPEG subfolder)

Is there a way to get the dialogue to open by default to the same directory as the file that's currently open in photoshop??

Thanks!

I am having this same problem with a slightly different workflow. I'm rasterizing an Illustrator file in Photoshop and then saving it as a TIFF. It used to be that the default directory on a Save As command was the location of the Illustrator file. Now Photoshop saves the Save As file to the last place in the directory Photoshop was active. I'm not sure when this changed. I have to navigate every time to the correct folder. It is maddeneing.

Hint: This can be changed in Photoshop Settings.

Tried that. Doesn't work.

It works for Photoshop files, but not for Illustrator files rasterized into Photoshop.

It used to, but this got broken somewhere along the line.

The setting I'm guessing you are refering to is under the File Handling tab of settings and is labeled "Save As to Original Folder." If I am missing something else please be more specific. Thank you.

By @hank_stamper

Illustrator files rasterized into Photoshop are essentially new unsaved documents, there is no backing path to save to.

A script could be used to capture the backing path of the Ai file and use that as the path for Save As.

I'll knock something together if you like.

It sounds like this may be needed for batches, not just one image at a time?

No. it has always worked and I'm not sure why it should work any different. If you want just a JPEG version of your TIFFs, you can always use the save copy and save as functions.

Hasn't Save for Web been deprecated in recent versions of Photoshop?
