When I save as an image with the same name of one that already exists, Photoshop asks if it can be replaced. I click yes, but it creates copy with the same file name and "cpoy" in the end. Like if I had selected "Save as a copy"
Due to this error I sent the old version image to a client and had problems at work...
You might report the bug on the feedback.photoshop.com site where the Photoshop team looks at bugs and feature requests. I found a few similar reports, so you could upvote it by liking a post and/or add a comment to one like this one or create a new report.
If you're saving jpeg, it's not a bug but the way it has to be.
The jpeg specification is extremely limited, and almost anything you can do to a file in Photoshop is not allowed in the jpeg file format specification. Hence the "copy".
It only happens when the files have the same name.
The problem is that Photoshop shows the same name, asks if I want to replace the file. I click yes but it doesn't replace, it creates a new file with the same name and adds "copy" in the name.
It also happens when I select "save as copy". It used to show the word "copy" in the name in moment you click, so you can edit the name
I use Photoshop since 1994 and it has always work like this: you could see new name of the file with "copy" in the end and delete the copy it if you want. Then it used to replace the file.
This and similar saving issues have been around for what seems like years now, there are numerous examples both here and at the feedback site where you can add to an existing bug report or create a new one.
I believe that a script would overcome the issue until it is fixed by Adobe.
I agree with you and have the exact same issue. Been using Photoshop forever. It's a bug and I hope they fix it soon. It ads another task you have to watch over when prescious minutes are essential to meet the deadline and not upset the client. Not sure what the other commenter was explaining.
