Hi @Stephen Marsh I was actually hoping there would be more to this subject than a temporary workaround, albeit a good one by @ThioJoe . I'm pretty sure each iteration of photoshop will wipe those edits. i think Adobe needs to implement an editable setting/preference for this. I have actually spoken to Adobe technical support and they suggested i post it here to be included in future versions. however, I see those, that have interacted with this post- dont seem to want to upvote it, leaving it unresolved and unseen as a possible feature in the future. it would greatly help if you could upvote this if you think that this is a necessary feature, as I definitely do, and battle with it on a daily basis. This is why i have posted it here under ideas, as opposed to bugs or issues. but since i am new here, maybe the correct etiquette is to still mark "correct answer"?  ... View more
