Tiff - No option to save without layers

[youthful_Dazzle0D45]

Using PS 23.2.0 ver.  As of this am I no longer have the option to save a tiff file without without layers. Ideas?  Thanks.

Just flatten it, then save.

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

Does the file actually have Layers?

See attached: Thanks

That is one screenshot … please post screenshots illustrating the process. 

For example: Did you »Save As« or »Save A Copy«? 

»Save As« would naturally preclude the destruction of the Layer data.

I have always had that option(TIFF) to save as without layers... as of this am it is now greyed out.

I specifically asked: 

»Did you »Save As« or »Save A Copy«?«

Is there some problem with answering that? 

[c.pfaffenbichler]

If the issue arose when you used File > Save As try File > Save a Copy instead. 

And please post meaningful screenshots. 

[youthful_Dazzle0D45]

Yes it does work with  File >  Save a Copy

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Have you considered enabling Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling > Enable legacy »Save As«?

Saving a layered TIFF as a flattened file will by definition have to be a copy.
