Photoshop: Remember save options and path

Dec 2024 and this is still a problem, it changed by it self and I had no ide why PS suddenly did not remember the last save folder, thanks for the 9-year-old advice.
No wonder Adobe stock is down all year

I came here to say I think after yrs and yrs, THEY HAVE FIXED IT. LOL

Kevin, it's telling that seven years later this still has not been solved. The problem is that when I tell Lightroom to "Edit in Photoshop 2023", and edit the file in PS 2023, and then Save As, it tries to save to the last folder where I saved a .PSD file. It does NOT save to the original folder where the .NEF file is located. As I move through folders, editing images in LR and opening in PS, it's very annoying to have to remember to change the target folder every time I save the first .PSD with a batch of .NEF files I've just opened from LR. Once I save the first .PSD in the batch, the rest all save to that folder. But the "Save to original folder" setting does NOT work when files are sent from LR to PS.

Hi @19002479  - I was actually tryinf to respond to an earlier comment about Exporting to PNG (example). I like the File > Export > Quick Export as PNG feature, but it doesn't remember the last saved-to folder. 

Hi @Karen31158227tdo1 you're posting on a 7 year old thread. If that setting is active, Photoshop should direct you back to the same folder/location you opened the individual file was originally located in. That setting does not designate a single location to save files.

This setting works to remember a single folder - not the last folder my image was saved to. Lots of different projects benath the single folder that PS remembers. Why can't it remember the LAST folder a file was saved to??

Hi, I've solved it finding out that te command "cmd,shift,s" was referring to "save a copy" and not "save as". Changing the keyboard commands fixed all.

Gosh this is so extremely annoying. For me it was working fine until recently (i.e. Photoshop rememembered the path and was saving all files to the location where I saved the previous file), but recently, I suspect starting from the automatic upgrade to Photoshop cc 2022, it suddenly started to save the files to the location from where I imported the tiff, although "Save as to original folder" was unticked. Whether this option is ticked or unticked, it always tries to save to the location from where I imported the tiff, and I have to tell Photoshop every single time where I want to save. Why oh why...

100% agree

Reset Photoshop from the preference menu

This'll remove all yyour prefences, so make sure to take note how it looks and prefer settings...

Before you proceed, make sure you save current or ongoing projects so you don’t lose recent or unsaved changes.

1. From the menu, go to Photoshop > Preferences > General

2. In the General tab, click Reset Preferences On Quit

3. Click OK on the dialog bo asking “Are you sure you want to reset preferences when quitting Photoshop?” to proceed

4. Close and relaunch Photoshop to reset the app’s preferences
