    The whole saving process in Photoshop is so odd now:

    Save, Save as, Save a copy, Quick export, Quick export as, Export for web, ...

    Save as JPG is not possible anymore when there are layers (it used to ask if ok to flatten in the past).

    Also I recently get a "Save to cloud" screen first, even though I just want to save locally.

    Is Adobe reading this thread?

    • affinity photo, just sayinghans_glib
    • I really miss Photoshop, if I'm honest. Affinity's useful enough, but there are so many things PS Just Does Better. That said, fuck Adobe.Nairn
    • And as Not Great as Designer is, it's utterly unusable for my work as it doesn't handle stroke thicknesses under 0.1pt or something. Useless.Nairn
    • And also asset export with its own set of separate conventions. And then legacy output modes. So weird.monospaced
    • This is a good point. They really should have one export window with tabs for GIFs, PDFs, layer comps to images, PNGs, etc. All of it.CyBrainX
    • Never save, use iPhone to photograph your artwork from the monitor, clients so far haven't noticed. Keep computer running 24/7 and all projects open.shapesalad
    • better yet just do a screen capture. Use any free software, and don’t mind how it compresses, nobody will notice.monospaced
    • this never made sense to me. I get the idea that "export" is for files other than .psd files and that's what adobe nominally considers as "saving" but that's socherub
    • some marketing douche's wet dream. nobody fucking cares adobe. just use the word "save" and drop all the dorky "export" talk.cherub
    • They need more options: 'Save export as', 'Slow save mode', 'Export and save a copy', 'Quick save as an export' 'copy as an export' 'save export and copy'shapesalad
    • even the most fanatical adobe fanboy has at least heard of non-adobe programs even if they don't use them.cherub
    • it should just be save, save as, export. all streamlined, optimised, fast, great ui.shapesalad
    • It's the result of too much legacy stacking; e.g. PS can't get rid of "Save for Web..." because it's still the only way to do some things (animated GIF).evilpeacock
    • You can change the settings back to a legacy version. That's what I did and it's all fine. But yeah, it's stupid.formed
    • I still save for web for most shit.monospaced
    • With save as and export as a 500x400px JPG resulted at 20mb. Really time some Adobe dude checks on this.SimonFFM
