Create awesome movies using MiniTool MovieMaker: bit.ly/4da0Fbb Easy fix for this problem. More info here: bit.ly/3nOyU12 Only enable an option from the Photoshop Preferences.
I found a proper fix - Go to preferences - file handling - and under file saving options, check "enable legacy "save as". This will revert back to normal "save as"
EXACTLY! They're doing more often to the point so us poor people that can't afford newer comps won't be able to update anymore or will have to sell their soul to buy new tach to keep up.
This is like one of the only videos I was able to find with clear instructions on what exactly is going on. Thanks, saved me a lot of headache and anxiety attack!
Thanks for this precious video! Btw, makes a sense for THEM. They were just too lazy to implement a better solution. Oh what, I have to remove the 'copy' word from the files name every single time.
You can revert to the legacy Save As workflow and/or omit the addended “copy” when saving as a copy. Navigate to: (macOS) Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling > File Saving Options (Windows) Edit > Preferences > File Handling > File Saving Options

It's amazing that Adobe has to dumb down things for Windows users as if they're Mac users. Why not instead make Apple users to have the options Windows users have?? I've been using Photoshop since the 90's, and this is the dumbest decision I've seen Adobe make. I've always used "Save As" to save a JPG. Now, longtime users have to change their habits to satisfy Mac Users who aren't using a Windows machine anyway?? Makes no sense. Thanks so much for the clarification on how to get around it. It's better than having to collapse the layers, save a JPG and then hit undo every time we have to save a file.

Just Started a photoshop class thats very hands off on the teachers end (if you have a question they respond with just follow the guide ((2020 version)) and this video really saved my butt thank you so much

Thank you so much that was a big help I had to get something sent to work and couldn’t figure out what to do I was starting to freak out. You’re a lifesaver
Thank you so much! Saved me hours of frustration. I still don't understand why files I created in photoshop are not compatible, but again thank you for your video. So helpful.
This change is so annoying and didn't find a permanent solution in comments, so i found the way to revert it: Go to Edit -> Preferences -> File Handling, and check on "Enable legacy "Save As" this will get Ctrl+Shift+S back to the way it was and restore order in the universe. Hope it helps
Like many people said already in the comments as answers to others, the actual fix goes like this: Go to preferences > File handling > Under file saving options, check the 'enable legacy "save as" ' box (still, thank you for uploading this video cuz I was going nuts because of this ridiculous change, lol)

Thank you, that perfectly answered my question of "where the hell did all the file options go"... I've been using photo shop for over 20 years, this is going to be annoying, and take some getting used to. I hate change.
Thank You, ive searched for so long and there were so many videos telling to edit ps color settings and it never Worked except for this!! Your the Best!!!
Thank you so much for this 😭😭 literally had to take a screenshot of the first drawing I did rather than saving it properly bc I couldn't find png or jpeg. Great video!!
OMG for the last two hours I was like WTF is going on. I used to click export then go through there but this makes sense now. Thank you and this is why we must keep up to date with Adobe forever changing lol

Thank you so much for this video!!! I had no idea what was going on and hated that I could save my artwork normally. But thanks to your video I now know how to! +1 sub
They changed so much. I have a lot of time invested in learning the past versions of photoshop. It isn't fair that they would make these changes. IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT! So damn frustrating!

Go to "preferences" > "file handling" > tick "enable legacy save as". And the "save as" function gonna work like before again *Sorry for my bad english

Thank you for this! I started to export as a jpg and just couldn't believe they took away saving as anything. Just another annoying bump that I've encountered in the latest update.
Thank you for giving the attention to this subject. It helped me as it would never come to my head to press "save a copy" because why if you have good old save and save as.
You can still "Save As" without doing "Save as copy". Go to Edit/Preferences/General then go to "File Handling" and put a check in the box next to - Enable legacy "Save As" and then you have the old options back again.
When I do save as copy, it saves it to my computer but does not include ANY file format at the end. Not even PSD. I am not even able to use the saved image. What the heck??
Thank you so much! Mine just updated and this is such a weird change. If something is 'unsupported' now how come I could make the exact picture before and it was supported? Makes no sense but at least the fix is easy, though I'm sure I'm going to keep accidentally clicking on 'save as' at least a few more times before it clicks in my head!
Thanks for explaining the workaround, though it should never exist. So a function that has worked fine for 15 years, suddenly disappears, no hint or notice in the process to tell us where to resolve it or why, and then on top of it we have to remember a new save option. Customer-focused...not. Absolutley doesn't make sense, at least not with that explanation. Photoshop is supposed to get BETTER, not worse. How is my file "not supported" by jpg, when the process of "saving as" instructs the software to save the image in a manner that IS supported by jpg. Makes no sense. If my image doesn't look as I want after, then I can try another format, but don't prevent me from saving as that format. What the hell kind of stupid is Mac causing now? What's next, they will not allow me to use a color that they have determined isn't a good option for my palette?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are a prince among men! This video is VERY much appreciated!
My problem still persist even after using save a copy. I'm trying to save a image with a mask, to a TARGA 32-bit file because in an older game engine (UE2.5) they require TARGA files to be 32-bit with alpha channels...problem is in this photoshop version and 2023 now, is that when you make the mask, make sure it is in the proper channels as well, do everything as expected before, this time, it once again, limits the file type I can save. I'm guessing, they are doing away with that in the newer versions now? Odd. So many things still use TARGA files that need that alpha channel for transparency, just seems like a really odd decision and using the way MAC iOS is, as a reason for the change. Seems they are only catering to apple users these days and by doing this, it proves it.
But in my case, even if i'm trying to "save as copy", doesn't bring me JPEG format, PNG or any other one, I don’t know why, the file might be too large but still, i'ven been editing large formats and been able to "save them as a copy" but in the project that i'm working on right now, the "Save as a copy" doesn't really help
The video is useful... in demonstrating the absolute stupidity of Adobe and Apple. The change in the update adds unnessesary steps/clicks to what was an easy to use "Save As" dialogue. The stupidity is demonstrated when we create new file, any size - Then add a layer. Now go to "Save As"... You are now limited to what you can save it as (psd & tif), and if you want anything else, you need to save as a copy... a copy of a file that is not saved yet. Rant over - and breathe... The other option here is to export, most people wanting to create quick changes for web/social images would be using this option anyway.
This drove me mad for a while until I found this video. Save As worked just fine for everyone, for years. Now they changed it because the file would have 'elements' that can't be saved in the format you chose, such as layers... I get it. So instead you have an option called: Save a Copy, except it's not a 'copy' of the psd because it can't have layers, which is why you changed it in the first place!? Let's just use: Save as... JPG Done. BAHHHHH Adobe! Pointless change.
thanks bro. i can´t believe adobe didn´t think about the people who have been using PS for decades and the keyboard shortcuts are burned into muscle memory!
Thank you so much!!!!! I just installed Photoshop 2021 and panicked not seeing any PNG or JPG options. Exporting as legacy for WEB is compressed jpg and no option for PNG with transparency. Thank you again!
