That's correct, Rene. A workaround perhaps for working on web projects, though not a great option for print. ... View more

Hi Rene. The issue exists also exists with non-JPG file types such as TIF files, used often in print projects. ... View more

*gioxcas "export as" is fine for web, but not print (working with TIF files), where the "_copy" bug really pooches you when you need to make a last minute change to a photo(s) and the job gets run with the original file (instead of the updated one). Makes for a pricey bug (and an upset boss or client).  ... View more

@brad_dismukes The workaround is an option (as suggested previously in this thread), though relying on bug workarounds for an incredibly long time on a pricey subscription based service, is less than ideal and should be resolved rather than brushed off. Also, and not to be dismissive, but the issue Photoshop crashing 10-seconds after opening a file could be an issue with your work station. This isn't an issue for me on my newer iMac (2019) or my older workstation (2013). I feel this would be a bigger gripe than not overwriting project files if it was common. Hope you're able to resolve (fresh OS install, perhaps? Perhaps run Disk Utilities first to see if anything is flagged.) Cheers. ... View more

@Adam Padilla agreed, that would be much more accurate dialog. I just hope they opt to fix it instead of succumbing to it. *fingers crossed* ... View more

Ah yes, my bad. I was working with layered files, but "saved for web". Dammit. False alarm, folks! ... View more

@Angel_Jackson I installed Big Sur last night, and (unfortunately) the issue persists. Perhaps you tested using a flattened file? (Also, my VPN works, as well as my Wacom Intuos Pro M tablet) ... View more

I would argue the issue is with Adobe not testing on the latest OS. Surely Apple is not expected to make sure premium 3rd-party software is bug-free. This is akin to victim blaming. LOL ... View more

@Vanessa Fisher Sadly, I can confirm the issue has NOT been resolved. 😞   (My best guess is you may have tested using a flattened file vs. layered file)   Catalina 10.15.6 Photoshop 21.2.4 ... View more

sebastian@logotomia.com.p Jaster Same issue with TIFF files. Had to make a last minute photo edit before sending off to print only to have the pre-edit photo remain while the post-edit photo sat in my assets folder as filename_copy.tif. So frustrating. Boss wasn't very happy (though not as upset as I was). It's unfortunate Adobe doesn't give a flying f**k. Been at least a year (and numerous updates) without a fix or even a response here or on adobe forums. ... View more

Unfortunately, this does not fix the issue for me either. (I've also deleted Photoshop and re-added as per Kaleb's suggesstion with no luck). ... View more

You've misunderstood, John. A jpeg does not support layers, but a layered file can be saved as a jpeg. Which you (perhaps unintentionally) misstated in your reply above. This functionality is at the root of the issue users are currently experiencing. Photoshop says it can't, though it can, and renames _copy, and though it says it couldn't, can if already named _copy. A bug indeed. And a recently (can we still stay recently? *looks at calendar*) introduced one. Cheers 🙂 ... View more

Yes, @Johan Elzenga, you can save a layered file as jpeg. Thank you @Philip Wels for the detailed breakdown of the issue. (And yes, I have sent out the wrong files for print as a result of incorrectly linked files within InDesign, which preflight could not have caught, requiring new proofs which brought with it additional costs as well as well as project delays. Very frustrating.) ... View more

Odd. It should not reset back. I've confirmed and reconfirmed on my workstation (iMac, OS Catalina). Perhaps you need to restart your computer and/or reset your Photoshop preferences? (Preferences) ... View more

Updated to 21.1.1 today, still experiencing the same issue. Frustrating my workflow. 😞 ... View more

Though I like that the new default does not require holding the SHIFT key as the majority of the time I want to retain dimensions, and not the other way around. The issue is the inconsistency.   Suddenly, last night, proportional scaling turned off by default midway through working on a file, though I don't have Legacy Transform enabled. Is there some sort of keyboard shortcut that toggles this behaviour I'm unaware of. Completely stumped here...?   [Photoshop 2020 (21.0.3) Mac OS Catalina (10.15.3)]   [EDIT: Turns out it was a very simple fix regarding my sudden loss of proportional scaling. I had unlinked the dimensions in the  Properties window (Transform tool. Screencap attached. Note the link icon to the left of the Width and Height fields). Doh! Simply error on my part. And an alternative to setting Legacy Transform in the preferences menu... Cheers!]   ... View more

I would say the burden falls on Adobe as it is (apparently) a compatibility issue with the latest OS. Rarely (if ever?) will you find an OS release fix to accommodate a 3rd-party application, but the other way around. Cheers! ... View more

I don't believe it's an Apple issue at all. Flattening the file, then saving as a copy overwrites as it should. This is a Photoshop bug, or a UX oversight. It's very easy to slip up and forget to undo or revert flattening the file, resulting in further additional steps to restore the file (hello Time Machine!). I would hope this would be realized and "fixed" (if not a bug and done purposely). ... View more

Same issue here. Very frustrating. ... View more

Hope this helps (I have to do this pretty much every time I install a new action in Photoshop to resolve the "the *insert tool here* isn't available" etc, etc, error prompts, and every now and then in Illustrator (not so much after reverting back to 2018). Very much a pain in the @ss as you lose all preferences. But... I've learned to live with it for now until a better graphics/publishing tool set comes along, or I make the time to transition to something else. Adobe CC has become a bloated time suck (which, ironically, doesn't leave me much time to spend learning a new tool set. Well played, Adobe.... Apologies or the rant ) Factory Reset: Close InDesign Double click on Adobe InDesign’s icon. QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (for Windows) or CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift (for Mac OS X) When a dialog appears, ask you “Delete InDesign Preference Files?” Click Yes. Warning! This procedures will delete any custom settings you have, including document and print presets, transparency flattener  presets, and custom stroke styles, and restore all the settings to the defaults. The preferences files will be recreated when InDesign is relaunched. Read also “How to Reset Adobe Photoshop to default settings?” and another guide.
